How Free Caregiver Matching Works in Denver
Free caregiver matching in Denver follows four steps: a short care form, screening for dementia care experience, 3 to 5 video profiles within 48 hours, and your decision after you watch each video interview. There is no fee to submit the form or to review the profiles we send. You stay in control of whom you contact and whom you meet.
The matching service is a way to see caregivers on video before anyone comes into your home. It does not diagnose a condition, set a care plan, or enroll anyone in public benefits.
Step 1: Complete a Short Care Form
The process starts with a short care form that describes the help your Denver household actually needs. You can note schedule, neighborhood, language, pets, mobility, and whether an older adult lives alone. You can also say whether you need companion care, personal care, overnight coverage, or extra help after a hospital stay.
Keep the form practical. Hours of coverage, the tasks that are hardest right now, and any non-negotiables (such as a quiet household or a specific part of the city) are the details that make a match useful. You do not need a long intake call to begin.
Step 2: We Screen Caregivers for Dementia Care Experience
We screen caregivers for dementia care experience before a profile is shared with a Denver family. That screen looks at whether the caregiver has dementia care experience. It is not a license, certification, or training credential issued by us, and we do not describe this process as a background check or a reference check.
When you meet someone, ask directly about background checks, licensing, and training. Those questions belong to your family. Any agency or caregiver you consider should be able to answer them before you hire.
Step 3: Receive 3 to 5 Video Profiles Within 48 Hours
Within 48 hours of the form, we send 3 to 5 video profiles of caregivers screened for dementia care experience. Each profile is built around a video interview so you can hear how the person speaks, how they describe past dementia care experience, and whether their manner fits your parent or spouse.
Written notes alone do not replace that recording. If the first set is not the right fit, say so. Matching can continue rather than pushing you to hire from a weak shortlist.
Step 4: Watch Each Video Interview Before You Decide Whom to Meet
Families watch each caregiver's video interview before deciding whom to meet. The video interview is the proof. You can compare several people on your own time, share the recordings with siblings, and only schedule a live conversation with the caregivers who already feel like a possible match.
Nothing in the matching process requires you to meet every person we send. Watch first, then choose.
What Denver Families Often Need at Home
Denver families often need in-home help that ranges from companionship and safety checks to bathing, dressing, respite for family caregivers, or around-the-clock presence. That mix is common when memory, thinking, or daily routines have become harder to manage alone.
Denver has 87,660 residents aged 65 and over, 9,844 residents aged 85 and over, and 33,113 senior households in which someone 65 or older lives alone. The city's median household income is $91,681, according to U.S. Census Bureau ACS 5-Year Estimates.
Dementia can affect memory, thinking, and the ability to carry out daily activities, as described by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Many households later add hours or overnight coverage as those daily tasks get harder. On our site, that can mean memory care at home, respite care so family members can rest, 24-hour live-in care when someone cannot safely be left alone, or hospital discharge care during the first days back from a stay.
