For many of us in the United States, military service touches our lives, whether through family, friends, or our communities. Our veterans have sacrificed so much and genuinely deserve our heartfelt gratitude, compassion, and care. Sadly, many of these brave individuals feel isolated and face daily challenges with tasks most of us take for granted, like preparing meals, keeping up with household chores, or managing their own wellbeing.
As veterans grow older, it becomes more important to provide the support they need to remain independent at home. After years spent in service to our country, these individuals deserve dignity, comfort, and attentive care. By investing in the health of our senior veterans, we help them enjoy a higher quality of life and honor their commitment to us all.
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) recognizes these needs and provides veterans home care funding in Woodland Park, CO, to assist servicepeople and their loved ones. What many families don't realize is that long-term care options - including in-home care - are included in programs like ameriCARE's Veteran CARE services.
Today, many of our veterans are vulnerable to a variety of issues that can impact their quality of life. However, through our Veteran CARE services, we're able to provide customized, compassionate care that addresses those issues and provides families like yours with peace of mind. Whether they're returning from combat with new health challenges or simply need an extra hand throughout the day as they age, our team is here to help.
Our agency owners are dedicated to guiding veterans through the process of accessing their benefits and understanding their eligibility. This important service, available at many of our franchise locations, empowers veterans to overcome the often confusing world of entitlements. With empathy and expertise, we strive to honor veterans by delivering personalized care and knowledgeable guidance, supporting them in living fuller, more independent lives.
The VA offers valuable benefits that include coverage for home health aide and homemaker services to veterans who require help with daily living activities. Through collaboration with one of our care partners, we learned that, out of more than 8 million veterans in the VA healthcare system aged 65 and older, only about 150,000 are utilizing this support. This means fewer than 2 percent of eligible veterans are getting the care they've rightfully earned. In some cases, such as with "Aid and Attendance," surviving spouses of veterans may also be eligible for benefits.
ameriCARE is committed to linking veterans and seniors nationwide with compassionate, highly trained caregivers from their own communities. We're proud to say that our mission goes beyond care - in fact, we're happy to help guide veterans and their families through the complexities of the VA system, offering hands-on support during the entire approval process. Many of our franchise owners team members are veterans themselves, who are dedicated to ensuring you or your loved one receives reliable, personalized care at home.
Regardless of how long they served, many military veterans leave service with a litany of health issues - both mental and physical. Some of the most common problems that older veterans face after leaving the military include
Research from the National Center for PTSD reveals that as many as 23% of veterans will experience post-traumatic stress disorder during their lifetime. For some, symptoms may not surface until later years, often following retirement. Notably, the development or worsening of PTSD in older adults has been linked to an increased risk of dementia, suggesting a complex relationship between trauma and cognitive decline as veterans age.
A recent study featured in the National Library of Medicine examined the prevalence of malnutrition among older veterans receiving home-based primary care. The researchers discovered that 15% of these individuals were classified as malnourished, highlighting a significant health concern within this population. Malnutrition in elderly veterans can lead to a range of complications, such as weakened immune response, slower recovery from illness, and increased risk of hospitalization. These issues underscore the need for veterans home care funding in Woodland Park, CO that helps seniors with eating and nutrition challenges.
Studies show that older veterans face a 25% higher likelihood of reporting multiple chronic health issues compared to their nonveteran peers. This trend underscores the unique health challenges veterans may encounter as they age, which often stem from service-related injuries, stress, and more.
Veterans often carry the weight of their service, having endured challenging circumstances and shouldered responsibility for the security of others. As they grow older, preserving their sense of independence becomes deeply intertwined with their mental and emotional health. For many, shifting from self-reliance to accepting help with everyday activities can be a significant adjustment.
A skilled caregiver who understands veterans' unique backgrounds can make this transition smoother. Building trust through respect for personal boundaries, clear communication, and trauma-informed care is essential to fostering a strong partnership between veterans and their in-home caregivers.
Many ameriCARE locations provide their caregivers with specialized training to better support our veterans as veteran cases can be complex and deserve tailored care.
Our caregivers offer support with meal preparation, grocery shopping, and managing dietary needs. They also encourage healthy habits and lifestyle choices, ensuring you or your loved one receives personalized nutrition and wellness guidance.
Tasks like bathing, using the restroom, getting dressed, and maintaining oral hygiene can become challenging because of aging or ongoing health conditions. Our dedicated caregivers are specially trained to assist with these personal routines and always prioritize the veteran's comfort, privacy, and self-esteem.
A tidy living space does more than promote good hygiene. It fosters a sense of comfort, security, and overall wellbeing. Our caregivers help with everyday household tasks, making sure your home remains a safe, inviting, and organized environment.
When driving becomes a challenge, whether for you or a veteran family member, our caregivers step in to help. They can handle errands such as grocery shopping, picking up prescriptions, ensuring appointments are kept, and providing reliable support for many other daily needs.
In-home caregivers from ameriCARE are dedicated to supporting your loved one's mobility and safety. From accompanying them on short walks to guiding them through physical therapy routines, we help promote regular movement and keep them engaged in activities that support their health and independence.
Our caregivers foster engagement by offering gentle support and uplifting encouragement. We create opportunities for veterans to participate in enriching activities, make social connections, and develop genuine bonds with their in-home caregivers.
We can accompany you or the older veteran in your life to medical appointments. We can also help relay any information or instructions provided by doctors.
Coping with the effects of aging, disability, or recovery from injury often involves juggling multiple medications with specific timing and dosages. Our caregivers can help ensure that you or your veteran loved one receives the correct medications at the right times, providing peace of mind while supporting overall health.
Our comprehensive care extends to beloved pets as well. We can assist with daily dog walks, feeding routines, arranging transportation for vet visits, and maintaining pet hygiene. By helping with day-to-day chores like pet care, we help enhance the wellbeing of senior veterans and their animal companions.
While many veterans have a primary care physician or a home health care professional, they may still need a real human connection beyond medical care. Veteran-funded home care can help you or your loved one maintain a more balanced life, one visit at a time. That's where ameriCARE comes in. We work tirelessly to connect dedicated, welltrained, and dependable caregivers to veterans across the United States.

Do not make public agendas vague or bury controversial items under generic labels, or you risk violating Colorado’s Open Meetings Law and paying attorney’s fees.
That was the message to public bodies in a judge’s ruling last week after a years-long transparency battle.
District Court Judge William H. Moller awarded parent Erin O’Connell $144,822 in attorney fees and court costs after she successfully proved the Woodland Park School District board violated the state’s open meetings law.
The award followed a 2025 Colorado Supreme Court ruling that she was entitled to fees after proving a violation of the Colorado Open Meetings Law (COML).
Moller concluded that O’Connell’s suit “forced the school board to comply with the COML and to give the public the right to participate in policy-making decisions.” He said the case had “statewide implications,” underscoring that public bodies can be required to pay fees when they violate the open meetings law.
“It’s imperative that someone like Erin O’Connell, who successfully proves a violation, can recover their attorney fees and court costs or else no one would ever challenge a government that appears to have broken the law,” said Jeffery Roberts, executive director of the Colorado Freedom of Information Coalition.
The Woodland Park School District did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
The open meetings law requires that boards post “full and timely notice” of meetings, including specific agenda items when available, at least 24 hours in advance.
O’Connell filed suit after a January 2022 meeting in which the board approved a controversial charter school, Merit Academy, under a vague agenda item labeled “BOARD HOUSEKEEPING.” O’Connell argued the description failed to provide the "full and timely notice" required by law.
A Teller County district judge ruled that the board’s use of “BOARD HOUSEKEEPING” was a “conscious decision to hide a controversial issue” from the public. He found later meetings did not “cure” the violation because the board simply rubber-stamped its earlier decision.
The combined Supreme Court and district court rulings put school districts and other public bodies on alert that vague agendas and attempts to bury controversial items under generic labels can constitute violations of the law.
The order highlights two messages from the Supreme Court’s earlier ruling: The open meetings law focuses on whether a violation occurred, not on whether it was intentional and a public body cannot simply re-vote on an item later to avoid consequences.
The district’s lawyer argued the award should be around $40,000, contending much of the litigation was “fruitless.” But the judge rejected that position, finding O’Connell’s billing records detailed and reasonable.
"The position argued by the School Board would... have allowed this school board, and other public bodies, to violate the COML with relative impunity," Moller wrote in his order.
The court noted that the school district should bear the expense of what he called aggressive litigation.
The judge concluded that O’Connell’s case forced accountability on the Woodland Park School District board and reaffirmed the public’s right to participate.
“It’s not difficult – it’s actually very easy – for a school board or a city council or a county commission to tell the public ahead of time what a meeting is going to be about,” said Roberts. “The whole point of the notice provision in the open meetings law is to make sure the community knows that. No public body should purposely hide the topic of a discussion because it’s going to be controversial.”
The judgment will accrue interest unless the district appeals.
Several other Colorado school boards and local governments have been found in violation of the Colorado Open Meetings Law in recent years.
In the Elizabeth school district, a judge ruled in 2025 that the district violated the law by amending an agenda at the last minute to add a controversial policy that opposed mask and vaccine mandates. The item was added to the agenda just hours before a September 2023 meeting, missing the 24-hour legal deadline.
There have also been several high-profile cases of improper use of executive sessions labeled as personnel or legal matters but used for broader political or controversial discussions.
In 2023, a judge ordered Denver Public Schools to release the recording of a five-hour secret meeting. The court found the board used the session to engage in substantial discussion about returning armed resource officers to schools — a matter that should have been properly noticed.
In Douglas County, a judge ruled in 2022 that four members of the Douglas County school board violated the law by conducting a series of one-on-one private discussions to discuss firing then-Superintendent Corey Wise. The district was eventually ordered to pay more than $103,000 in legal fees and costs.

Eric Owen, the superintendent of schools for Hayden since 2023, has been named as a finalist for the superintendency in Woodland Park.
According to a news release from the Woodland Park school board, Owen is one of three candidates being considered for the position.
Owen was a graduate of the Woodland Park schools and taught elementary education for five years at Summit Elementary in the Woodland Park School District before serving as the assistant principal for Woodland Park High School and later Jordahl Elementary in the Fountain-Fort Carson School District.
Owen received his undergraduate degree in business administration from Fort Lewis College in Durango and possesses a license in elementary teaching from the University of New Mexico, a master’s in curriculum instruction and educational leadership from the University of Colorado along with doctoral work from Liberty University.
During Owen’s tenure in Hayden, he faced the difficulty of hiring teachers and in 2024, appealed to the community for assistance in providing housing. His efforts resulted in the hiring of teachers from the Phillipines and Thailand to fill vacant teaching positions.
When contacted by the newspaper, Owen said, “I absolutely love Hayden and I looked at this job (Woodland Park) because it is my hometown, it is near my parents which is very important to me at this time and it is where I began my career. I am honored to be selected as a finalist.”
Other finalists for the position include Woodland Park interim superintendent Ginger Slocum and Chris Selle, superintendent of the Meeker School District.
Interviews for the position will be held on March 12. The candidates will be interviewed by a stakeholder team and the board of education. The board hopes to reach a decision “shortly after the formal interviews.”
The Woodland Park board of education utilized the national search firm of Grundmeyer Leader Services which is based in Iowa.
