Gold Leaf CareGivers

Caregiving is not just our business.  It is our passion.  In consideration of our founders’ own personal experiences caring for loved ones, we created our signature Gold Standard of Home Care™ to symbolize our commitment to providing consistent, customized and compassionate care for all our clients.  With GoldLeaf CareGivers you will find a new kind of independent home care company for Denver and the surrounding areas.  We live in a new era that demands creativity and efficiency.  While other franchise home care company chains are relying on a predictive cookie cutter business model, GoldLeaf CareGivers has a face towards the future looking for newer and more innovative ways to provide a higher quality of service for our clients, a dynamic workplace for our employees, and more resources, education and assistance for the communities where we live and work.

As a trend setter in-home care, GoldLeaf CareGivers’ principles are more than just words on a page.  The company was established as the antidote to the huge national and international home care chains that are the voiced concern of geriatric policy experts who worry that home health care businesses could put profit above quality as the demand for caregiver services throughout the industry is expected to outstrip supply.  Quoting from an article in the New York Times on March 1, 2007, “Consumers are always in jeopardy when there’s an opportunity to make a lot of money,” said Val J. Halamandaris, president of the National Association of Home Care, who 40 years ago was chief counsel to the Senate Committee on Aging.  “Sometimes it works out beautifully, and sometimes it doesn’t.  But nobody’s policing it; that’s for sure.”

GoldLeaf CareGivers focuses on our Gold Standard of Home Care™ where the health, safety and well-being of our clients is our main focus and ultimate objective, not selling more cash cow franchises.  People who connect with GoldLeaf CareGivers are looking for exceptional home care services for their loved ones, clients or themselves provided by extensively screened and well qualified caregivers that are constantly supervised and supported by the GoldLeaf CareGivers management team.  We want the people who select our services to feel confident that they are obtaining the highest quality of home care from the most innovative and socially responsible home care company in Colorado.

Care Consultation
The more we know about you, the easier it is to recommend specific caregiver services that may help with your unique needs.  During our free, no-obligation Care Consultation we can answer and all questions you have regarding GoldLeaf CareGivers and home care in general, as well as provide you with resources to ensure all your needs are addressed.  Our Consultation helps us accurately assess a client’s needs and establish that services can be safely performed in the home.

We go where you are.
Home is where you make it.  Whether you are at home, in assisted living community, in the hospital, or in a rehab facility, we are there for you.  We provide the same personalized services wherever we are needed.

Complete Caregiver Compatibility
Denver caregiver compatibility is so crucial to the experience and, when you find it, it can - and often does - change peoples' lives.  That is why we listen closely to you to determine your needs and preferences.  Then we match you with a compatible caregiver that has the necessary skills and experiences you need.  If you are ever unhappy with the selected caregiver, we will provide you with a replacement as many times as you need, until you are completely satisfied that you have found the right fit.  With our superior matchmaking abilities, GoldLeaf CareGivers promises all our clients a 100% caregiver compatibility guarantee.

Care On Call
When you need us, we’ll be there.  Whether you are calling at 10:00am or 10:00pm, our phones are answered by a live Care Support employee - never an answering service.  Our home care services are available to you 24 hours a day, 365 days a year; we can respond any time of the day and provide same day service.

Importance of Diversity
Whether your parents need assistance, you need a helping hand or your kids need care, we are there for every situation you might face.  One of the unique characteristics of GoldLeaf CareGivers is our ability to service a diverse population by providing innovative care for all generations from 1 to 100 years old.  With our experience in caregiving during all stages of life, we understand the different challenges faced by different populations needing care services.

Long Distance Liaison
Let us be a connection to your loved one.  It is common for extended family and friends to be separated by great distances.  We work with family members who are out of town to provide the peace of mind and assurance they need about their loved ones.  We can provide everything you’d do for your loved one and more, so you’ll have peace of mind knowing that your loved one is safe … whether you live across town or across the country.

Technology
We have a computerized Telephony Tracking System that tracks the exact time a Denver caregiver arrives and leaves a client’s home to ensure accuracy and accountability, and guarantee precise billing for our clients – paper timesheets are a thing of the past.  Our innovative Operations Management Software manages all aspects of our operations and automatically integrates with all peripheral software.

When a person faces a health challenge, the world seems to stop and priorities change. Everything that used to matter, no longer does, and it’s the littlest things that become the most meaningful. Learning about and making a decision about home care can be overwhelming to many who don’t know where to start looking for information, or how to determine the difference between home care companies in Denver. Understanding the basics of home care and recognizing a person’s specific needs is the first step toward finding a comfortable, safe and happy living environment for loved ones.
Significant changes are occurring in the way that health care services are organized and delivered. Same day surgery, technological advances and new drugs have made it possible to receive the type of care in the home that formerly was only available in a hospital. With the restructuring of the hospital system, increased pressures have been brought to bear on community services and family caregivers.

Denver home care is a cost-effective and efficient service, not only for individuals recuperating from a hospital stay but also for those who, because of a functional or cognitive disability, are unable to take care of themselves. By bringing health services home, a client does not generate board and room expenses. Home care is, in many cases, less expensive than other forms of care. The evidence is convincing that, for many services, home care is less expensive than other forms of care. In general, Denver home care services cost only one-tenth as much as hospitalization and only one-fourth as much as nursing home placement to deal with comparable health problems.
