Staying in Summit, SIS, is a countywide not-for-profit organization working on addressing the housing and supportive services needs for the rapidly growing senior population in Summit County, Colorado.
Our Mission
With nearly 1 in 6 people over 65 in Summit County, and projections showing this will grow to 1 in 5 by 2029, the need for solutions is urgent. 70% of seniors will require some form of long-term care during their lifetime, including help with housekeeping, meals, medical care, transportation and personal care.
Staying In Summit is committed to raising awareness of these critical needs and fostering community support for bringing comprehensive senior care solutions to Summit County.
Right now, Summit County is missing essential support for our aging population. We're working to change that by:
Advocating for a full range of senior housing options, including independent living, assisted living, skilled nursing, memory care, and end-of-life care.
Raising Awareness about the lack of crucial medical services such as geriatricians, hospice care (both at-home and inpatient), inpatient post-acute rehabilitation, and long-term nursing home care.
Advancing the process to raise funds to cover the costs in the pre-development phase of the Lake Hill Workforce Housing Development.
Promoting the availability of respite support services to provide relief for family caregivers.
With Summit County's senior population rapidly expanding, it's crucial that we take action. Join us in creating a community where our seniors can thrive.
Creating a place for Seniors to live in Summit County
This film features locals discussing the importance and reasons why we need community support to create an assisted living, rehab, independent and memory care multi-generational campus. We have no choices in Summit County, Colorado for our Senior population or any type of rehab facility. This is a major problem as most people that have any needs that require help are forced to move and go to Denver or other areas. We need land to build and are requesting help from our local officials. This is a cry for help to create awareness and the need.
