Homewatch Caregivers of North Suburban Denver and Boulder County is a veteran-owned company that serves the veteran community by providing non-medical care to seniors, helping them maintain their independence and autonomy.
“We are spending a lot of time in the community educating veterans on the homecare benefits that they are entitled to which will allow them to age in place in their own home,” said Amy Ahrens, co-owner.
“We really pride ourselves in helping veterans (and all seniors!) deal with a challenging health diagnosis and turn that journey into a success story by providing them with exceptional care.”
Homewatch employees, known as care partners, ” love working with us because they can see first hand what a big difference they make in the lives of our clients.”
Ahrens said that care partners report satisfaction in their careers and are aware of how much their clients look forward to seeing them.
“It is a strong motivator to bring their A-game every day.”
Homewatch Caregivers prides itself on providing ongoing employee education and is developing specialized training programs to help veterans and clients with dementia.
Employees appreciate the specialized training, which enables the company to care for them while teaching them how to provide even better care to their clients.
While some employers may hesitate to hire recent college graduates, Homewatch welcomes them.
“We’ve found there is a place for everyone in our company,” Ahrens said.
“Some of our clients really enjoy the young energy that our recent college graduates bring. And some clients request our very oldest care partner because they want more of a peer to help with their care.”
