Top-Rated Home Care Agencies in Denver

See CMS Care Compare star ratings and Denver addresses for local home health agencies, plus questions to ask about dementia-specific training.

CMS Care Compare lists Medicare-certified home health agencies that serve Denver, along with each agency's published quality star rating and street address. This page summarizes those public listings so families can compare options and prepare questions about dementia-specific training. It is not medical advice, and no agency, clinic, or clinician named here endorses this service.

CMS-Rated Home Health Agencies Serving Denver

Denver Medicare-certified home health agencies on CMS Care Compare currently include providers with published star ratings from 2 to 4.5, plus one agency with no star rating reported. The names, ratings, and addresses below come from those public Care Compare listings and can change, so confirm the latest profile before you hire.

Two listed agencies, BAYADA HOME HEALTH CARE INC and AT HOME HEALTHCARE, share the same street address on South Colorado Boulevard. Ask each office how intake, staffing, and clinical teams are organized so you do not confuse one listing with the other.

How to Read These Star Ratings

CMS star ratings are a public quality snapshot for Medicare-certified home health agencies, not a dementia-care credential and not a personal recommendation of any Denver provider. A higher number can help you shortlist agencies, but it does not tell you whether aides have completed Alzheimer's or other dementia training.

Home health on Care Compare is skilled, Medicare-oriented care. Many families in Denver also compare non-medical help such as personal care or companion care when the main need is daily routines, safety, or social support rather than a skilled nursing visit.

Questions to Ask About Dementia-Specific Training

Ask every Denver agency how staff are trained to support people living with Alzheimer's disease or another form of dementia before you hire, because a CMS star rating does not confirm dementia-specific skills. Use the same questions with each provider so answers are easy to compare.

  • What dementia-specific training do nurses and home health aides complete before they are assigned, and how often is that training refreshed?
  • How do you match caregivers to someone who has memory loss, and can the same people return for consistency?
  • What is your process if a client becomes confused, agitated, or tries to leave the home?
  • How do supervisors coach staff on communication, daily routines, and changes in judgment without asking families to diagnose the cause?
  • Who should the family call after hours, and what is the backup plan if a scheduled caregiver cannot arrive?
  • How do you document observations and share them with the family and the client's existing clinicians?

If ongoing cognitive support at home is the main goal, compare those answers with dedicated memory care at home options as well. Families who need overnight coverage or a break for regular caregivers can also ask how an agency coordinates with 24-hour live-in care or respite care.

Medicare home health is often considered after a hospital or rehab stay, but it is not the only way to plan a safe return home in Denver. Ask whether the agency can start promptly, who handles the first visit, and how the plan changes once skilled visits become less frequent.

Some families pair a short home-health episode with hospital discharge care so meals, mobility help, and follow-up appointments are covered while skilled services are still being arranged.

National Context on Alzheimer's Disease

Alzheimer's disease is the most common cause of dementia, so families interviewing Denver agencies often want staff who understand memory loss, communication changes, and safety planning. Public-health explainers can help you prepare those conversations without treating any agency listing as a diagnosis or care plan.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention overview of Alzheimer's disease and dementia is a plain-language starting point for symptoms families commonly notice. To find research and education resources, use the National Institute on Aging directory of Alzheimer's Disease Research Centers.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which Denver home health agency has the highest CMS star rating on this list?

ACCENTCARE HOME HEALTH OF MOUNTAIN VALLEY LLC has the highest published rating among the Denver agencies listed here, at 4.5 stars, followed by BAYADA HOME HEALTH CARE INC at 4 stars and AT HOME HEALTHCARE at 3.5 stars.

Where are the highest-rated Denver agencies located?

AccentCare is listed at 455 Sherman Street, Suite 465, Denver, CO 80203. BAYADA and AT HOME HEALTHCARE are both listed at 1325 S Colorado Blvd, Denver, CO 80222. Confirm suite details and current hours on each Care Compare profile.

Does a higher star rating mean the agency is trained in dementia care?

No. A CMS star rating is a general quality measure for Medicare-certified home health. It does not, by itself, prove that staff completed dementia-specific training. Ask about curriculum, refreshers, and caregiver matching before you decide.

What should I do if a Denver agency has no star rating?

HUMAN TOUCH HOME HEALTH CARE AGENCY DELTA is listed at 8973 E Kenyon Ave, Denver, CO 80237, with no CMS star rating reported in the facts used for this page. You can still ask about licensing, staffing, training, and backup coverage, and compare those answers with rated agencies.

Is Medicare home health the same as companion care or personal care?

Not usually. Care Compare ratings on this page are for home health agencies. Companion care and personal care are typically non-medical supports for daily living, safety, and company. Many Denver families look at both types of help, especially when memory loss is part of the picture.

How can I check the latest rating for a Denver agency?

Open the agency's CMS Care Compare profile linked above and review the current star rating, address, and quality measures. Ratings and office details can change after a page like this is written.

What questions matter most if my family member has memory loss?

Focus on staff training, consistent caregiver assignment, after-hours backup, and how the team handles confusion or wandering risk. Then compare those answers with memory care at home, respite, or live-in support if the need goes beyond intermittent skilled visits.
