Caring For Families, Day or Night.
We know this is a hard time, and you probably have a lot of questions. Here are some of the ones families ask us most. Please click a question below to see the answer. If yours isn’t here, please call us at (806) 236-4689. We’re happy to talk.
We provide caring, a QMAP-trained caregiver for people receiving hospice and end-of-life care at home. We help with comfort, daily personal care and medication reminders, so your loved one can rest peacefully in the place they know best and your family can focus on being together.
QMAP is a state training credential, not a license. Colorado allows QMAPs to give medications in certain licensed settings, such as assisted living residences and adult day programs. In your home, our caregivers remind your loved one when medications are due and keep a log for your hospice nurse. Your hospice team stays in charge of all medications.

No. Denver Private Care is not a licensed hospice and does not provide medical care. I work alongside your hospice provider. Your hospice team (nurses, doctors, social workers and chaplains) manages the medical care plan. We provide the hands-on, day-to-day caregiving between their visits, so your loved one is never without support.

We know things can change fast near the end of life. In many cases we can start within 24–48 hours. Call us, and we’ll do our best to meet your timeline.
We’ll listen. We’ll ask about your loved one, their needs, their hospice provider, and what kind of help your family is looking for. There’s no pressure and no obligation.
Yes. We’re glad to coordinate with your hospice team so everyone follows the same care plan and your loved one gets consistent care.
Yes, we offer overnight and around-the-clock care. Many families need extra support at night or as needs increase, and we can adjust the schedule as things change.
Care needs often change, sometimes daily. Just let us know, and we’ll adjust the schedule with you.
Yes. You’ll have the same caregiver each visit.
In most cases, hospice benefits cover visits from the hospice team but not full-time, in-home caregivers like ours. Families usually pay privately or use long-term care insurance. Your hospice social worker can also help you look at your options.
We don’t bill insurance companies directly, so payment for care is due up front. But we’re happy to help: we’ll fill out the paperwork your long-term care insurance company needs, so you can get reimbursed. If you’re not sure what your policy covers, we can talk through it with you.
