Things had gotten to the point where I could no longer feel confident in my own abilities to continue to provide the care needed. I believe my hand was guided from above when I selected, and made contact with, Optimal Hospice. Once engaged, a team of top professionals was dispatched and they just seemed to know instantly what to do. All the while they held the highest regard and sensitivity for me and my family. In no time I saw what I could not have done alone taking place in front of my eyes. This was a true blessing and this wonderful group of individuals kept me informed every step of the way. The outstanding performance exhibited by Optimal Hospice made all the difference in the world, and I could finally get the peace of mind I needed to truly prepare for the send off of my loved one. I cannot express enough my sincere gratitude and appreciation for the enormous contribution Optimal Hospice made to our lives. Do not hesitate to call them, you will not be sorry.

My elderly father who has dementia was not doing well in his living situation. I was at my wits'…read moreend trying to figure out how to find a new living situation for him. Every assisted living or memory care place seems almost the same and seemed to have the same sales pitch. I just couldn't sift through any more of it and feel confident on my own in finding a better situation for my dad. Sitting at the computer in tears scrolling through assisted living websites, I stumbled across Stacy's Helping Hands here on Yelp. I called the company and reached the owner, Pam Silverberg. It was probably one of the single best things that ever happened in this painful, complicated road of caring for my dad. Pam was warm, friendly, and interested in helping me. Before i even engaged her services, she gave so much of her time to me. She wasn't another one of the sales people in the assisted living business - she just seemed like a concerned friend. And she had a tremendous amount of knowledge and experience. We worked together for several months because I was so nervous about moving my dad. But she was patient and kept talking with me through good options. She was a fantastic sounding board. She got to know my dad's needs and made recommendations based on his needs and my concerns. She visited several facilities with me and became a good interface between me and the facility we finally chose. She was alongside us as we moved my dad and continued to interface with the facility and advocate for us in a couple of situations that arose when we moved my dad in. No one should navigate this road alone. Pam at Stacy's Helping Hands genuinely wants to help people navigate this arduous road. I feel like she's really become a friend in this whole process. If you're exhausted and nervous and overwhelmed - call Pam! Even if you don't engage her services, you will find a listening ear and undoubtedly a bit of sincere and valuable advice.

If I could give Stacy's Helping Hand 6 stars, I would. Pam was a tremendous help to me and my…read morefamily. The process of finding assisted living/memory care is extremely stressful and Pam's expertise and willingness to go above and beyond was greatly appreciated. The situation with my parents and their health is extremely complicated and Pam was a thoughtful and thorough advocate in helping us find a solution. My brother and I both live out of state and having access to a resource like Stacy's Helping Hand was invaluable - we literally could not have done this without Pam's help. I cannot overstate her compassion, patience, and effort to help us. I highly recommend Stacy's Helping Hand to anyone looking for help with this process!

Are used to go down and just sit and talk to Bob, he was amazing and very dedicated to this cause. This is a drug and alcohol rehab for men and there are 13 steps of sobriety that they have to go through. I am so proud of the men that check into this place because they pretty much have hit rock bottom and they are guided through help to get their lives back. We have been donating there for years. Anytime I travel I collect all those little toiletries bring them back and they are donated along with men's clothes and shoes and other things that I might purchase to help people get their lives on a good path again. If you know anybody that is serious about getting help, I WOULD RECOMMEND this place, they have to be responsible and be serious about stopping their addictions. God bless you Bob for having the vision to help people that have lost their way.

My mother died this past February. She would have been at AOH 5 years this month. I wanted to write…read morethis review to say how appreciative I have been with the loving care Mom received. There was, of course, staff turnover during those 5 years, but I never saw anyone that didn't hold Mom and the other residents in highest regard and treat them all with dignity. A beautiful example is when I let a prior staff member know Mom was near the end of her life, that person came back to visit her and give her one final hug. Times were turbulent during the pandemic, but with imaginative ideas, family members were able to continue to connect with loved ones. There were video calls, window visits, outdoor visits, and after vaccination, in person visits once again. Due to the vigilance of the people at AOH, Covid didn't find its way into Mom's house until omicron, at which time everyone was vaccinated. Mom tested positive, but was never symptomatic; her body gave up some weeks later but it wasn't due to the coronavirus. Mom was content and happy at Applewood - and I will be eternally grateful for everyone who took such good care of her.

In the past year I have seen: A woman I love become coherent one to two days per month. I came in on my day off to chat with her. The "ladies of Upham" reenact high school with all the hilarious drama. Petting zoo, visiting singer, aquarium visit, park visits, coffee shop outings, visiting guitarist/humorist, visiting pianist, high school carolers, fishing trip, and bowling alley outing for the residents, families and staff. A wonderfully sweet and kooky 92-year-old woman make a full recovery after coming down with the flu. A man go through a scare where his pulse dropped and his face turned blue, only to be perfectly fine the next day. A woman who said to me, "quick, go get the chickens before the plane lands, they can't go to Australia." There is a high turnover rate in EVERY caregiving company; this job is listed as the #1 most stressful job by msn for a reason! In other companies we are told "side hugs only" and that "no, we can't do this or that because it is too expensive." At Applewood, from the top down, they care about people. I try my best to treat my residents like close family. I feel supported and am happy to work here. Please feel free to come by and ask to speak to me if you'd like, I'm at the newest location on Garrison street in Arvada.

She visited weekly and helped my mother adjust to the end of life. As her care became more involved Ann was there each step of the way supporting my mother and our family. I have never med someone who was so kind and understanding and competent. Finally My mother had to spend her final days in-patient at their facility. She raved over how quiet and beautiful it was. Again the staff was so very kind and supportive of both my mother and our family. The Chaplin was very helpful with family dynamics. Even the chief was wonderful, providing her with warm chocolate chip cookies which gave her much enjoyment in her final days. What a gift it was to have this organization available to care for my mother and our family at this hard time. As a retired nurse I am picky and could not fina any fault, just very competent care! I can not recommend this hospice more. 100/100.
