Senior Day Care and Respite Services in Salida, CO
Rooted In Faith. Built For Dignity.
Compassionate Day Care for Aging Adults in Chaffee County
Valley to Valley Senior Care Center provides medically supervised day care and respite services for aging adults in Salida, Colorado 81201, serving families throughout Salida, Chaffee County, and the Upper Arkansas Valley.
Our program is designed to give caregivers the relief they need while ensuring their loved ones receive professional, compassionate, and dignified care in a safe and nurturing environment. Many seniors do not need full-time institutional care, but they do need support during the day.
Some require assistance with Activities of Daily Living. Others need supervision, companionship, or a place to remain socially active and engaged. Our day care program offers exactly that in a clean, well-managed, loving, and home-like setting.
Caregivers often carry tremendous responsibility. Whether caring for a spouse, parent, or loved one, the demands can be exhausting. Valley to Valley exists so caregivers across Salida and the surrounding communities can work, attend appointments, rest, or simply breathe, knowing their loved one is safe, valued, and well cared for.
