Client Testimonials

We connected with <a href="/jill-yasskin/">Jill</a> through a referral and we were immediately impressed with her knowledge and compassion with our situation. Jill helped us through every step of the way and navigated us through what could have been a long and tedious process without her. With her help, we interviewed both in person and virtually, a number of assisted living locations for our elder brother. After narrowing it down to two, she helped us make the perfect choice. After the decision was made, she helped us with the moving process, connecting us with a company that handled the entire process of packing, moving, and donation of any unwanted items. During this entire time, Jill was very sensitive to our brother's emotions and what was going on and kept him involved, updated, and supported the whole time. Jill's years of experience was extremely helpful and beneficial for our family during this time. We would highly recommend her.

John - Denver, CO

I don't know how I would have coped without Cindy's expertise and warmth in regard to moving my mom into assisted living. I am a working mom with a teenage daughter, my time is tight. Cindy was there to take care of everything! She was always responsive and I could count on her to help me and my mom navigate the complicated waters of dealing with long term care insurance and finding a great place for my mom. I highly recommend her! The great part is, that I know I can call on her to help as we move into the future!

Gina - Denver, CO

Karen Summers has been a god-send to my family. My mother was hospitalized for 28 days in December/January 2021-2022. We were in a panic as we had been advised that she needed a level of care we couldn't provide at home. Karen was highly recommended and we contacted her forthwith. She jumped on it immediately, identifying properties and working with us through our questions, complications, etc. After Mom moved into the facility she decided it wasn't to her liking, so we were back on the horse, and Karen was right there with us. It can be a daunting task, finding just the right community for your loved one, but when you have a stalwart consultant like Karen, your chances of getting to the right spot increase drastically. I would highly recommend Aging at 5280 to anyone who needs guidance, experience, patience, and LOVE in providing a helping hand to a parent or over loved one whose in need of care!

Dawn - Denver, CO

<a href="/karen-summers/">Karen at Aging at 5280</a> is absolutely amazing and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for help finding somewhere for your loved one to live. We had a very short period of time to find a place for my mom to live and Karen found a great place for her based on her physical and financial needs. She was there every step of the way and made the transition as easy as possible. Karen was always available to talk to and answered all of the questions I had. This was a new experience for me finding a place for a loved one to live and I am so happy that I found Karen and I couldn't have gone through this experience without her.

Shanon - Denver, CO

If you don’t know where to start … start here … I was so overwhelmed with all the decisions I had to make. Cindy made the process clear and understandable. She helped place my mother into a housing community that actually fit within our budget and my mom’s care needs.

Denise - Highlands Ranch, CO

They were incredible in helping find a care home when that became necessary. Always caring, always on time and responsive, experienced caregivers, thoughtful, understanding, will always work with your needs or changes.

Brad - Englewood, CO

Thank you, Cindy! With your help I was able to move my family member from a lengthy hospital stay to a memory facility perfectly suited to her needs. Then you set me up with a team to sell her home and hold an estate sale! All while I was stuck in another state due to COVID restrictions. You were my 2020 miracle! I cannot recommend you highly enough!

Carol - Outside Colorado

I'm Sophie and I volunteer for an online fitness and health program for kids. We have been learning about health programs for seniors. We came across your web page, <a href="/elder-resources-speaking-advocacy/">Elder Resources and Advocacy</a>, and while discussing issues affecting seniors! We want to say thank you!

Ms. Brown - Learning Haven

I live in Virginia and had to sell my sister's house in Denver. Ms. Yasskin was recommended by a business associate and she turned out to be terrific. She made suggestions about sprucing the place up and then recommended a price. She predicted numerous offers and she was right, the house sold in a jiffy. I was most satisfied by Jill's professionalism and her communication skills.

A. Willis - Virginia

The team at Aging at 5280 are knowledgeable, professional and patient. A true joy to work with.

Diana - Denver, CO

This company is amazing. When I met Cindy, my mom was in acute care and we needed a lot of help. We have had nothing but wonderful people coming out to care for my parents. You will be very happy with this company if you need help caring for a loved one.

Bobette - Denver, CO

My sister and I desperately needed help navigating the complexities of assisted care living when it became overwhelming for my sister to care for mom on her own. A dear friend of my sister's highly recommended Karen Summers. Working with Karen proved to be the best decision for both of us. Though my sister is local, my being in Georgia presented a logistical hurdle when it came to narrowing down our visits. Karen spoke to my sister and I about what was important to mom and to us, found a handful of options close to my sister and arranged all of the onsite visits. We didn't know a thing when we started but with Karen's guidance, we definitely made the right choice for our mom. The icing? Our relationship did not stop the day we made that choice, thankfully. Karen took my mom a beautiful plant a few days after moving and has kept in touch with my sister and I over the past few months. It was a privilege for us to have worked with Karen and we would recommend her to any of our friends looking for expertise in assisted elder care.

Glen - Out of State

<a href="/cindy-koch/">Cindy</a> was instrumental in our process for finding the right place for my mom who has early onset dementia. She helped us navigate the multitude of confusing options, understood what the sales representatives were "really" saying and made us feel like we had a friend on our side. More than once, Cindy offered me a shoulder to cry on as I became overwhelmed with the emotion of the situation and her support ultimately helped us make a decision that at one point seemed unimaginable. I've learned how valuable it can be to lean on friends with personal experience when dealing with dementia and should any of my friends find themselves in a similar position as I was in, I would recommend Cindy in an instant.

Colleen - Denver, CO

This dedicated team has been available and responsive in helping our patients and families navigate their changing needs for help and housing. Thank you, <a href="/">Aging at 5280</a>!

Ingrid - Denver, CO

Working with Jill was not only painless, but she made the experience looking for a suitable, yet affordable assisted living place for our parents virtually stress free. I would recommend her and this service to anyone who is faced with this very tough life situation that many of us are dealing with for our aging parents.

The Elder Care Managers at Aging at 5280 are knowledgeable and compassionate in helping to make the difficult transition for your loved ones as smooth and uncomplicated as possible.

Avery - Denver, CO

Absolutely do not hesitate to allow Jill to guide you in selling your home! As an out-of-state seller, I benefited from Jill's expertise to sell my home for $34k more than I had planned to even list it. She used her knowledge of the area to local contractors to make the repairs and upgrades I needed; she even helped me choose carpet and flooring! The home sale closed within weeks of listing. Her compassion and kindness throughout the process was so comforting, too. I have the utmost confidence in Jill and her team of professionals. You won't be disappointed if you have the opportunity to work with her.

Carol - Virginia

My 78 year old mother lived independently in her home for the last 10 years and had done quite well until she fell and broke her back. Upon her return home from rehab it became instantly clear we had to move her to a senior community with independent living. With that realization came the sheer terror of where to possibly begin. Enter Cindy Koch with Aging at 5280. What a blessing! From the moment my mother and I met her I knew we were going to be okay and we were! Cindy took her time to explain all the options. What we should consider now and in the future. She never rushed us and did not make decisions for us but instead guided us through the process. One of the things I really liked was how Cindy spoke to my Mother. She always directed her questions to my Mother to make her feel like she was a part of the process and making her own decisions. Now six months later my mother is settled in a beautiful new community. She is happy, she is thriving and I am no longer fearful of getting the call that she has fallen or worse. She is safe. Thank you to Cindy for making what seems like the impossible actually rather easy! 

Beth - Denver, CO

We have loved working with Jill in Aurora. She has gone out of her way on many occasions to help us get my brother into the living [community] that was best for him. She also has given us invaluable help in selling their home. I recommended her to some friends of ours for help with placing her mother in a Memory Care [community], and she has gone out of her way to help them also! Have no hesitation in contacting Jill at Aging at 5280!

Charlie and Loree - Aurora, CO

Anyone who has tried to help an aging friend or relative decide next steps knows that it is hard, scary and confusing. Most of us do not know what options are available, let alone how or where to head for resources. Having <a href="/karen-summers/">Karen</a> and her team at <a href="/">Aging at 5280</a> on our side was nothing short of a soothing miracle. We were faced with several looming deadlines, along with declining health of our mother - and Karen "talked us out of the trees" more than once, while calmly and steadily guiding us towards reasonable options. There were literally dozens of things I had never even heard of or considered, the industry is awash with innovation, and Karen's wonderful presence helped us get my Mom all squared away. Karen is truly an angel on the earth.

Kristin - Denver, CO

Jill and Cindy met with me and took charge right away with helping me navigate through the process of locating and setting up tours for a few [communities] / homes for me to visit for my loved one. Jill also gave me the name of a private home care agency and made the initial contact with the agency so that we could speak with them about private home care services. Their knowledge, expertise and networking contacts are truly a God send. There's no doubt in my mind that I will be contacting this great group of women again in the future to assist me.

Tina - Denver, CO

Thank you, Jill, for all of your valuable assistance with my mom! You assisted us during a most difficult time! You helped us find a beautiful [community] and we appreciate your kind attention and wonderful service!

Lynda - Colorado

From the moment I met Cindy, I have had nothing but relief with my parents as they ensure my parents are well taken care of. When we need someone in a pinch, we can trust that someone will be there and everyone is so nice and caring. Thank you!

Mike - Littleton, CO

Hi, Cindy. I just wanted to thank you for all you're doing for our mother. We appreciate you very much! Wanted to pass this along. I got an email from my mother this morning and she mentioned how wonderful you've been and also stated, "I honestly don't know what I would do without her." So thank you for everything and all your patience throughout this, as well as ensuring our mother is taken care of.

Laura - Denver, CO

Karen was incredible to work with in finding an assisted living home for my dear elderly friend, Dorothy. She took the time to get to know us, Dorothy's situation and what was important in choosing a facility. She did an amazing job in narrowing down the options and in assisting me to make a decision. I would not have been able to do it without her help. She is kind, compassionate and very professional. Even after we found a place for Dorothy, Karen has continued to keep in touch with us, which I appreciate. I highly recommend Karen and Aging at 5280.

Aaron - Denver, CO

Incomparable! Aging at 5280's care of our father was above and beyond anything we could have imagined.

Pat - Denver, CO

Very professional and helpful. Cindy did a great job of helping my Mom move from a very poor assisted living situation to one where she can be happy. She made sure that what she exposed Mom to was within her ability to pay and were places with a good reputation for care and services.

Susan - Boulder, CO

<a href="/jill-yasskin/">Jill's</a> knowledge and contacts saved us a ton of time. She made the phone calls and did all the leg work, leaving me free to concentrate on what was best for our family. We ended up spotted for choice, with two options I felt very comfortable with. Thank you, Jill!

Heather - Denver, CO

Jill is extremely knowledgeable and has been a great partner providing us the education we need and helping to navigate the right resources for our family members. Jill is extremely patient and I would highly recommend her services.
