For Caregivers

At Alpenglow Homecare, we recognize the invaluable role caregivers play in supporting medically fragile loved ones. Caregiving requires profound love and dedication, as caregivers provide unwavering support and compassion to loved ones in their medical journey.

We understand that the journey of caregiving presents unique challenges and demands that can be overwhelming at times. At Alpenglow Homecare, we are committed to being your steadfast partner throughout this process. We provide the support and resources you need to thrive as a caregiver.

At Alpenglow Homecare, we are more than just a service provider; we are a community that values your commitment and recognizes the importance of your work.

At Alpenglow Homecare, we recognize that the caregiving journey is often challenging and can take a significant emotional and physical toll. Our goal is to partner with you to transform this experience into a rewarding one for both you and the loved one you care for.

• Regular check-ins: Our care coordinators are dedicated to providing personalized support through regular in-person visits, scheduled according to program guidelines. These visits are an opportunity for open conversation, where you can share how you’re doing. We address any concerns, provide assistance, and ensure you feel confident in your role.
• Streamlined documentation: Our efficient electronic documentation system simplifies the process of tracking your caregiving hours. You can easily log your hours through our user-friendly mobile app or by phone, and you no longer have to deal with cumbersome paper timesheets. 
• Timely paychecks: At Alpenglow Homecare, we prioritize your peace of mind. We ensure you receive your paychecks accurately and on time, every time, so you can concentrate on your loved one's well-being without the stress of financial uncertainties. 
• Financial security: We understand that financial stability is crucial for caregivers. That’s why we provide:
  • Weekly pay: Enjoy the reassurance of receiving your paycheck every Friday, ensuring a reliable and consistent income.
  • Future peace of mind: We acknowledge that caring for a loved one is a long-term commitment, so we offer a competitive 401(k) plan with employer matching. This not only helps you invest in your financial future but also allows you to focus on your loved one’s recovery, knowing you’re building a solid foundation for years to come.
• Thoughtful Time-off Policy: Time off policy made for everything life has to offer. We have PTO, Sick Leave, Floating Holiday, Wellbeing Day, and Compassionate Leave if your client is in the hospital or for any other reason you cannot provide care. We also thought about how unexpected changes can happen in life and offer Family Bereavement, Extended Family Bereavement, Pet Bereavement, and Voting Leave.

As a family member of your loved one, you naturally assume the role of primary caregiver. By joining our program, we can guide you in understanding and becoming a qualified caregiver as defined by Colorado’s In-Home Support Services (IHSS) and Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) programs.

Health First Colorado (Colorado's Medicaid program) members and their families are eligible to qualify for an HCBS waiver where IHSS is an approved service. Through these programs, you may access personal care, homemaker, or health maintenance services. For more details or questions, please contact us.

You can learn more about the eligibility requirements on the official website to see if you are qualified for IHSS & HCBS benefits.

As a caregiver in your family, you likely already recognize the various forms of support you can provide to medically fragile people. This support often focuses on activities of daily living (ADLs), which help your loved one maintain their independence and comfort at home.

Our team is here to assist you in aligning your caregiving efforts with the Medicaid-funded programs, ensuring that you can benefit from the resources available.

At Alpenglow Homecare, we offer competitive wages along with a comprehensive benefits package that may include paid time off, bonuses, and various incentives.

For more detailed information about the specific benefits available to you, please do not hesitate to reach out to us directly. We are here to ensure you understand and maximize the opportunities provided to you as a caregiver.

At Alpenglow Homecare, we understand the challenges of caring for a medically fragile loved one and the importance of finding the right support and resources. Our team is dedicated to supporting caregivers every step of the way to deliver compassionate, high-quality care to their loved ones.
