In-Home 
Elder Care

With over 15 years of senior care experience, we specialize in empowering your aging loved one to live independently at home. Our in-home care and care coordination services are designed to support strength, safety, and peace of mind, whether your loved one needs daily care or occasional check-ins.

Are you unsure if in-home care or assisted living is the right fit for your family? Schedule a free consultation, and we’ll help you explore the best option.

Personalized Care Plans

At Blue Skies Nursing, we build personalized care coordination plans that fit your loved one's specific needs. Their care team may include a combination of experienced nurses, caregivers, physical therapists, and occupational therapists, helping your loved one stay safe and independent at home.

Our Approach

Our approach is about building strength and confidence, not dependence. If we can help decrease the number of hours a patient needs us over time, that’s a win. But every situation is different, and we’ll adjust as needed. Our goal is always the same: to support your loved one in living at home with dignity, respect, and the highest quality of care. 

Care Coordination and Support

Medication Management
To prevent missed doses, overdoses, and polypharmacy, our team can organize and coordinate medications, ensuring everything stays on track for your loved one’s health


Caregiver Respite
We understand that caregiving is both rewarding and exhausting. Taking time to rest and recharge helps you show up as your best self for your loved one. Our team is here to provide relief, offering peace of mind while you take a well-deserved break, knowing your loved one is in great hands.

 

Patient Advocacy
We treat our clients like family, understanding that busy schedules and distance can make it hard for adult children to stay updated on their parents’ medical needs. That’s why we advocate on their behalf, helping coordinate communication with their providers to ensure their needs and preferences are clearly understood.

We provide in-home support and coordination following procedures to help your loved one recover comfortably at home. Learn more about our Post-Op Care services here.

Light Cleaning
A peaceful space fosters strength, healing, and well-being. Plus, clutter can pose a fall hazard! Our team is happy to assist with light cleaning during our visits, helping maintain a safe and comfortable home.

Community Gatherings
We believe that connection is key to aging in place happily. Our team is happy to bring your loved one to any community activity they enjoy, whether it’s the farmer’s market, the library, fishing, or simply getting out of the house. We provide companionship and support for any activity that brings joy and connection.

"Shani’s services have helped our family immensely. Since I live 700 miles away and only get to Steamboat every other month, Shani is our “eyes and ears.” She takes wonderful care of my 90-year-old mother. She checks my mother out physically from head to toe twice weekly, applies lotion to her dry skin every visit, walks her to provide some physical therapy, and so forth. She even took my mom to the doctor for me when I couldn’t. Now that we have hired Shani, I truly have peace of mind."
