Whether you’re living in the foothills of Boulder or in a Denver high-rise, Thrive at Home Network offers trusted resources for aging in place across Colorado. Families in Colorado Springs, Aurora, Fort Collins, and Greeley rely on our network for everything from home modifications to caregiver support.
Colorado’s active lifestyle and strong healthcare systems are excellent for seniors, but the state’s geography and weather present certain challenges.
Key considerations include:
Cold, snowy winters requiring slip-resistant walkways and emergency heating plans
Higher elevation living, which can affect mobility and health
Rapid urban growth creating accessible housing shortages
Rural service gaps in mountain and plains communities
Here are some of our most helpful checklists for those who want to age in place confidently:
Bathroom Safety Checklist
Ensure bathrooms are slip-resistant and accessible — important during Colorado’s icy winters.
Fall Prevention Checklist
Identify hazards in stair-heavy homes, mountain cabins, and suburban houses alike.
Emergency Preparedness Checklist
Prepare for snowstorms, wildfires, and flooding risks, especially along the Front Range.
Decluttering & Downsizing Checklist
Organize garages, basements, and mountain properties for easier, safer movement.
In-Home Care Checklist
Find and plan home care solutions for city living or remote Colorado communities.
