Come build a different kind of care company.

We are looking for kind, dependable people who believe support should feel personal, respectful, and deeply human. Caring Companions help seniors, adults with support needs, and families remain connected to the comfort of home.

Bring your heart, reliability, and willingness to learn. We will help you build the preparation and confidence.

Care Is More Than a List of Tasks

Families invite us into their homes during meaningful and sometimes vulnerable seasons of life. They are not simply looking for someone to complete a checklist. They are looking for a steady person who brings calm, patience, encouragement, and trust into the room.

As a Caring Companion, you may support conversation, familiar routines, meals, respite, personal care, light household needs, transportation, community activities, and the everyday moments that help someone feel comfortable and independent.

Your story matters here. We introduce the person before the profession. Your personality, interests, lived experience, and care philosophy help us make more thoughtful matches with families.
A Different Kind of Care Company

You Deserve to Feel Supported, Too

Too many caregivers are sent into unfamiliar homes with little information, limited preparation, and the expectation that they will simply figure everything out.

Colorado Homestead Care is being built differently. We believe excellent care begins with caring for the people who provide it.

We Never Send You in Unprepared

Before beginning an assignment, you will learn about the person, their routines, the household, the support plan, and what will be expected of you. When an assignment requires a particular skill or process, we show you how to do it before expecting you to perform it independently.

Assignments Are Matched Thoughtfully

We consider your availability, experience, comfort level, travel area, personality, and the needs of the family. We do not believe every available employee should automatically be sent to every available client.

You Have Someone to Call

Caring Companions are supported by a Family Advocate who helps coordinate services, communicate with the family, and respond when needs or circumstances change.

Communication Goes Both Ways

We expect honesty, professionalism, and dependability. You should also be able to ask questions, raise concerns, and receive clear information without feeling that you are on your own.

Colorado Homestead Care Institute

Training That Continues After Orientation

The Colorado Homestead Care Institute provides the preparation behind every Caring Companion assignment. Training is not something we rush through before placing your name on a schedule. It is how we help you enter each home with confidence.

Required training, meetings, care-plan briefings, and client-specific preparation are treated as paid work.

Schedules & Flexibility

Work You Can Build a Life Around

Flexibility should not mean never knowing when you are working. Our goal is to create schedules that are dependable for families and realistic for the people providing care.

Consistency

Established Schedules

Whenever possible, Caring Companions receive consistent client assignments and established days and hours. Familiarity creates greater stability for the client, the family, and the Companion.

Choice

Availability-Based Matching

We discuss your available days, desired hours, travel area, household preferences, and family commitments before proposing an assignment.

Practicality

Meaningful Work Blocks

Whenever possible, shorter visits are grouped into sensible routes and geographic areas so your workday is practical rather than a collection of scattered stops.

Flexibility Without Chaos

You will have an opportunity to consider whether a proposed assignment is a reasonable fit before being matched. Flexibility should respect your life, not require you to remain available for everything.

Family Truly Comes First

That Includes Your Family

We expect Caring Companions to be dependable, communicate honestly, and honor the schedules they accept. We also understand that children become ill, school schedules change, emergencies happen, and important family moments matter.

Our goal is to build a workplace where people communicate early, support one another, and are treated like human beings—not interchangeable names on a staffing list.

You should not have to choose between being a good Caring Companion and being present for the people who depend on you at home.
What You Can Expect From Us

Employment With Real Structure

Caring Companions are W-2 hourly employees. We are building policies that recognize the full work required to support a client—not only the minutes spent inside the home.

Paid Required Training

Required orientation, Institute coursework, meetings, supervision, care-plan briefings, and retraining are recorded as paid work.

Paid Documentation

Required notes should be completed while clocked in, not later at home as unpaid administrative work.

Travel Between Clients

Travel between scheduled clients during the workday is treated as paid work time, and approved business mileage is reimbursed under company policy.

Employee Protections

Caring Companions receive applicable paid sick leave, overtime protections, regular payroll, and clear timekeeping expectations.

Holiday Recognition

Designated holiday assignments include additional compensation, and holiday coverage will be voluntary whenever staffing allows.

Cancellation Protection

Qualifying short-notice client cancellations may include cancellation pay or route protection when another assignment cannot be provided.

A Path to Grow

Training, documented competencies, experience, and dependable performance create opportunities to qualify for personal care, memory support, higher-attention assignments, and awake overnight work.

Our Care Model

You Are Part of a Care Team

Caring Companions provide the direct support families experience at home. Family Advocates help ensure the Companion is supported while providing it.

In the Home

Caring Companion

Builds trust, follows the support plan, assists with approved daily needs, documents visits, and notices meaningful changes in routines, comfort, or wellbeing.

Together
Coordinating Support

Family Advocate

Coordinates services, communicates with the family, helps resolve concerns, updates support needs, and remains a point of contact for the Caring Companion.

You are not expected to carry every question, concern, or change in a client’s needs by yourself.
The Role & the Right Fit

Who We Hope to Meet

Professional caregiving experience can be valuable, but it is not the only kind of experience that matters. Many excellent Companions first learned to care for a parent, grandparent, child, neighbor, or friend.

The Heart of the Role

Assignments vary according to training, experience, and the approved support plan.

  • Companionship and meaningful conversation
  • Familiar routines and respite support
  • Meal preparation and light household assistance
  • Errands, transportation, and community activities
  • Personal support when trained and approved
  • Clear visit notes and communication with the care team
  • Respect for client dignity, privacy, and independence

Qualities That Matter Here

You do not have to know everything before applying. You do need to be honest, dependable, respectful, and willing to learn.

  • You notice the small things that help people feel cared for.
  • You respect routines, preferences, privacy, and personal choice.

  • You understand that arriving on time matters deeply to families.
  • You are willing to follow training and documented support plans.
  • You have reliable transportation for the assignments you accept.
  • You are comfortable completing required screening and references.
