Help with everyday life, so your loved one can stay at home.

Our services

Everyday help, with dignity

All of our services are non-medical. We build each plan around your loved one's routines, habits and wishes, and we change it when their needs change.

Medication reminders

We help your loved one remember to take medications on time, from a pill organizer that has already been filled by the client, a family member, or a pharmacy.

We can help with:

  • Friendly reminders at the right time of day
  • Bringing water and the pill organizer
  • Telling the family if doses are being missed
  • Picking up prescriptions from the pharmacy

Our caregivers give reminders only. They do not fill pill organizers, give injections, or give medications.

Companionship and safety at home

Loneliness is hard on anyone. Our caregivers bring conversation, company and a watchful eye, and they help make the home safer.

We can help with:

  • Conversation, reading aloud, games, puzzles, music and hobbies
  • Walks and time outdoors
  • Keeping in touch with family by phone or video call
  • Steady support while walking, and tips to lower fall risks (clutter, rugs, lighting)
  • Letting the family know about changes we notice

Errands, shopping and appointments

We take care of the errands your loved one can't get to, and help them stay connected to the world outside the home.

We can help with:

  • Grocery shopping for your loved one
  • Picking up prescriptions from the pharmacy
  • Other everyday errands
  • Going with your loved one to appointments or outings when the ride is arranged by the family, a taxi or a ride program
  • Keeping a calendar of appointments

Our caregivers can go to the store or pharmacy on their own to pick up groceries and prescriptions for your loved one. They do not drive or transport clients.

Respite for family caregivers

Caring for a parent or spouse is hard work. A few hours of help lets you rest, go to work or take care of your own health, knowing that someone you trust is there.

We can help with:

  • Regular hours each week, so you can plan your own time
  • Short-term help while you travel or recover
  • Help in the mornings, evenings or on weekends, when our caregivers' schedules allow

Longer hours, overnight and live-in care

Some people need more than a short visit. If your loved one needs longer hours, help at night or live-in care, call us to discuss it. Availability depends on our caregivers' schedules, and we'll be honest with you about what we can do.

We can talk with you about:

  • Longer daytime visits
  • Help at night
  • Live-in care

Medicaid sets limits on hours. We will explain what applies to you during the assessment.

Good to know: we provide non-medical care

AVA HomeCare is licensed in Colorado as a Class B home care agency. That means we help with daily living, and we do not provide nursing or medical care. Our caregivers do not:

  • give injections, do wound care or do other nursing tasks
  • give medications or fill pill organizers (we give reminders)
  • drive clients in their cars
  • do lawn care, snow removal or heavy cleaning
  • work in assisted living facilities (we care for clients in their own homes: houses and apartments)

If your loved one also needs skilled care, such as a nurse or a therapist, we are glad to work alongside the home health agency and the doctor's team.

How it works

Getting started is simple

  1. Call us.

    Tell us a little about your loved one and what's getting hard. A real person answers and talks it through with you.

  2. Free in-home assessment.

    We visit your home, meet your loved one, and talk about needs, routines and schedule. There's no cost and no obligation.

  3. Your care plan and caregiver.

    We write a care plan together with you and choose a caregiver who fits your loved one's needs and personality.

  4. Care begins, and we stay in touch.

    A supervisor checks in with you regularly, by phone and in person, and we adjust the plan when needs change.

Medicaid clients: services start after your case manager approves the plan. We can explain each step.

Paying for care

Ways to pay for home care

We'll help you understand your options during the first call. There's no charge for that conversation.

Medicaid (Health First Colorado)

We are a Medicaid provider for personal care and homemaking services under Colorado's Community First Choice (CFC) program. If your loved one qualifies and services are approved by their case manager, Medicaid pays AVA directly and you pay nothing for those approved hours.

Not sure if your loved one qualifies? Call us, and we'll explain the steps and who to contact.

Get paid to care for your loved one

Private pay

Pay privately for the help you choose, with a schedule that fits your family. Private pay also works for hours or tasks that Medicaid doesn't cover.

Our rates depend on your loved one's care plan and can change over time, so we don't list them here. Call us, and after a free in-home assessment we'll go over the cost together.

Long-term care insurance

We accept long-term care insurance. Many policies cover non-medical home care, so check your policy for what it pays and when. We'll help you understand what your insurer needs from us.

Medicare usually does not pay for non-medical home care, and AVA does not bill Medicare.

Get paid to care for your loved one

Are you already helping your mom, dad or another relative at home? If your loved one is on an eligible Health First Colorado (Medicaid) program, you may be able to join AVA as a caregiver and be paid for the approved hours you care for them.

Who may qualify

  • Your loved one is on an eligible Health First Colorado (Medicaid) long-term care program and has approved home care hours.
  • You meet AVA's hiring requirements, including a background check.
  • You complete the training AVA provides before you start.

Eligibility rules apply. They depend on the program and your loved one's approved hours. Call us and we'll check for you.

How it works

  1. Call us.

    Tell us about your loved one and the care you already give.

  2. We check eligibility.

    We look at your loved one's Medicaid program and approved hours, and explain what's possible.

  3. You apply and train.

    You complete our hiring steps, the background check and our training. We help you with each one.

  4. You're paid for approved hours.

    You care for your loved one as an AVA caregiver, and AVA pays you for the approved hours you work.

Why families choose this

Care from someone they trust. Your loved one is cared for by family, at home and in their own routine.

We handle the paperwork. AVA takes care of payroll, timesheets and billing.

You're not on your own. Our office helps with training and questions, and a supervisor checks in regularly.

We can't promise eligibility, hours or pay before we check your situation. The call is free and there's no obligation.
