About

Welcome to AgeWise Colorado! We’re a free, easy-to-use hub for all things related to aging in place for you or your loved one.

Our goal is to take the stress out of finding reliable information and trusted resources that can meet the needs of seniors aging in place.

Our Vetting Process for Our Participating Providers

AgeWise Colorado was created specifically with older adults and their loved ones in mind. We know how hard it can be when you’re searching for products and services to help older adults stay in their homes. As a non-profit organization, we’re committed to helping you find what is needed quickly and easily.

We also have a stringent vetting process that all providers interested in becoming one of AgeWise Colorado’s Participating Providers must go through. Once an organization becomes a Participating Provider they are then included in our Participating Provider Directory. In addition, they will have an annual check-up to ensure they continue to meet our rigorous standards. 

How Do We Connect You With the Information and Resources You Need Around Aging in Place? 

Our approach is twofold: First, we provide reliable and up-to-date information about the many aspects and challenges impacting older adults who are aging in place, and beyond. We provide educational events and videos to help you.

Second, we connect you to the products and services you are looking for by matching you to locally based Participating Providers.  

In the near future, we will also have knowledgeable staff you can speak with for more information.
