Support Casey's Pond

This fundraiser will support Northwest Colorado Health as the new owners of Casey's Pond, to help bridge initial operating expenses as the new Casey’s Pond strives to re-populate and re-stabilize.

On Monday, September 30, the purchase of Casey’s Pond was finalized and Northwest Colorado Health assumed ownership of the senior living community. 

Most of the purchase price was raised through individual donations from over 400 generous community members, ranging in amounts from $10 to multiple millions of dollars, as well as contributions from the City of Steamboat Springs and Routt County, and the incredible leadership of the Yampa Valley Community Foundation in raising the funds necessary to close the deal. Casey’s Pond is now a part of Northwest Colorado Health, and Capella Living Solutions will continue to provide management support services to maintain the day-to-day operations, ensuring that the high quality and professional standards, as well as the dedicated staff will remain in place. The critical services available at Casey’s Pond will remain the same, including: Assisted Living, Skilled Nursing, Rehabilitation Care, Independent Living, and Adult Respite and Day services. 

“The community has really stepped up and we are honored to be a part of this effort to save much-needed services for the aging population in our region”, said Stephanie Einfeld, CEO of Northwest Colorado Health. “While we’re very excited to share the news of this important milestone, it’s not over yet. The notices of closure have resulted in a decline in the campus census, and it will take time to re-fill those vacant spots.  We are committed to working diligently to bringing stability back to those in need of our care.”

Northwest Colorado Health brings over 60 years of experience in the Yampa Valley, currently managing the regional home health and hospice program and operating The Haven Assisted Living in Hayden. The purchase of Casey's Pond ensures that the critical services offered there, including the skilled nursing facility, remain as a local service for community members needing short-term care and support after surgery or a medical incident.
