Home Support for Seniors in Colorado: Help With the Heavy Lifting
Quick answer: home support for seniors in Colorado comes in two kinds. For personal care, like bathing, medication or companionship, you need a licensed home care agency, and your local Area Agency on Aging or 211 Colorado can point you to one. For the physical work around the house, like moving furniture, clearing a garage or basement, or downsizing, an hourly labor crew like Rocket Services can help, from $99/hr, and seniors can ask about our discount.
Two kinds of home support
Care: personal care, nursing, companionship and help with daily activities. This comes from licensed home care agencies.
Household labor: moving, lifting, carrying and clearing out. This is what our crew does.
Many families need both. A care agency helps with the person, and a labor crew helps with the house.
What our crew helps seniors with
Moving a bed or dresser from an upstairs bedroom to a main-floor room.
Rearranging furniture to open up wider, clearer walkways.
Clearing a garage, basement or spare room into a dumpster or curbside pickup you order.
Downsizing: packing what is moving, setting aside what goes to family, and carrying out the rest.
Loading and unloading a rental truck or storage unit for a move to a smaller home or senior community.
Taking apart and putting together beds, dressers and other furniture.
What we don't do
We don't provide personal care or medical help, and we don't clean, repair, install grab bars or haul anything away. We are labor only: moving, lifting, packing and loading.
Senior discount
Seniors can ask about our discount. Call (720) 336-1661 before you book, then show your ID when you book or on the day of the job. One discount per job, on hourly labor only.
What it costs
1 helper $99/hr, 2 helpers $149/hr, with a 2-hour minimum, then 15-minute increments.
$1 per round-trip mile from our Aurora base (80017).
Stairs: the first flight is included, then $20 per flight.
Example: moving a bedroom set from upstairs to a main-floor room usually takes 2 helpers about 2 hours, about $298 plus mileage, before any discount.
For family members who live out of town
You can book and ask questions by phone. Someone should be on site on the day to confirm the details and sign the paperwork, whether that is your parent, a neighbor or another family member. Our crews are insured W-2 employees, and every crew member is background-checked.
