What Are Care Points?
Care Points are a simple way to price only the services your loved one actually receives. Each service — like medication management, bathing assistance, or mobility support — is assigned a small point value. You're never pushed into a broad "tier" that includes services you don't need. Your plan can move up or down with your loved one's needs — and you'll always see exactly why.
Not Nickel-and-Diming — Here's How We Prevent It
We know families worry that a points-based system could lead to constant small increases. Here are four safeguards we've built in: • Published Menu — every service and its point value in writing • Clear Triggers — changes only happen when care truly changes, not for one-off favors • Right-Sizing — we round down small fluctuations to avoid back-and-forth • Advance Notice — we discuss any change before it shows up on your bill
How Your Plan Is Built
During a complimentary nurse-led assessment, our care team evaluates your loved one's daily needs — bathing, dressing, mobility, medication, and more. Each need is mapped to specific services with published point values. The result is a personalized care plan that's transparent, adjustable, and always tied to real needs. Points go down when needs decrease, and for short-term changes like post-hospital recovery, we can set temporary plans and revisit.
My mom has been in assisted living at Golden Pond for almost 2 years. It has been the best experience we have both had with this transition in her life. I could not get through this difficult phase without the leadership and staff at Golden Pond. I HIGHLY recommend Golden Pond.
We toured and interviewed many facilities around the Denver area that gave us a rather “empty and cold” feeling. That was until we found Golden Pond. The staff is so welcoming, energetic and kind, but more importantly, WARM. The facility is beautiful and inviting, the grounds are well kept and the level and amount of fun activities provided to the residents is unparalleled. My family and I are forever grateful for the care and attention my mother receives every single day and for making her so happy and comfortable.
