About us

Where Your Family Is Ours

Extended Family Home Care opened its doors in 2007 by a social worker with a special interest in elderly care and has remained an individually, family owned agency ever since. People in Denver have entrusted us with the well-being of their loved ones for over a decade and our elite reputation amongst clients is highlighted by our ongoing support in the community.

We pride ourselves on being one of the few boutique-style agencies in the Denver/Metro area that provides individualized care to our clients as if they were our own family. We are dedicated to upholding the true meaning of our agency’s name by pairing our clients with caregivers that we would trust with our own families. We have a meticulous hiring process and compensate our care team higher than the industry standard to ensure we have premier caregivers caring for our clients.

We are excited about the opportunity of caring for you or your loved one and look forward to hearing from you!

Founded on the core values of compassion, respect, integrity and excellence; Extended Family Home Care is excited for the future with new ownership.

Extended Family Home Care was recently acquired by former employees of the agency, Brittney Blanchard and Erin Brix.

Collectively, Brittney and Erin have worked in non-medical and medical care for 24 years and are elated to bring their expertise, passion and love the for the Colorado senior community back to where they started. Their favorite part of their job is having more time with all of their clients now as administrators.
