Evergreen’s Healthcare Resources

November 29, 2018

If you are looking to relocate to Evergreen Colorado, you may be wondering what medical resources are available in Evergreen Colorado and what medical resources you will need to source from the Denver metro area.   I am a local resident of Evergreen and will share with you a first account of what local medical related resources exist in our community and what Evergreen has to offer for our population of residents 65 years and older. 

Evergreen as a community, has the majority of all your primary care needs covered, ranging from primary physicians, dentists, optical, physical therapy, chiropractic, nutritionists, home health care  and hospice, acupuncture, massage, and assisted living resources. 

Evergreen Primary Care & Pediatric Care

Let’s start with Evergreens primary care resources. This is not an exhaustive list but it will give you a general idea of what options exist.

St. Anthony Health Center Evergreen

St. Anthony’s is, in my opinion the most comprehensive primary medical care center in the Evergreen Area.  I personally use them for both myself and my children and have had a great experience with them.  I have received a level of care and support from the staff at St. Anthony’s that I would have never have received living in the city.   Note, they do not offer Emergency care. If you are an existing patient then you may be able to be admitted for a minor emergency but otherwise the closest emergency care facility is in Golden CO.

According to US News Rankings, Colorado is the best state for aging.  The criteria for determining this is based on available healthcare, local economic health, tax breaks, and local community involvement.  Colorado has made it a priority to support its older residents especially when the nation as a whole is aging rapidly which presents challenges to take care of the 65 and older population. 

Colorado has one of the healthiest populations of residents, 

65 and older than any other state. 

According to statistics, Colorado has some of the best Medicare and nursing home quality in the nation.  Colorado’s older population is growing at a faster rate than many other states. According to the US Census Bureau, Colorado had a population of 10.9 percent. In 2016 the percentage of residents 65 and older increased to 13.4, which is still lower than the national average of 15.2.   It is estimated that by 2030, the 65 and older population will increase to 1.27 million, a 77 percent increase from 2015.  This growth is most likely attributed to the high quality Colorado offers and as a result more residents are staying rather than migrating to other states as they age.

Mt. Evans Home Healthcare & Hospice

Mount Evans Home Health Care & Hospice serves the Colorado mountain communities of Jefferson, Clear Creek, Gilpin, and Park counties. Mount Evans has achieved 4.5 of 5 stars with the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, exceeding the Colorado average (3.5 stars) and national average (3 stars). The agency has also ranked in Home Care Elite’s Top 500 home health facilities since 2012, achieving a Top 100 rating in 2013, 2014, and 2016.

Colorado is bucking a national trend toward obesity and physical inactivity, once again earning it a spot as the nation’s 8th-healthiest state in an annual ranking released Tuesday by United Health Foundation.

The top 10 healthiest states:

  1. Massachusetts
  2. Hawaii
  3. Vermont
  4. Utah
  5. Connecticut
  6. Minnesota
  7. Colorado
  8. New Hampshire

Evergreen air quality is 92.(The US average is 58.)

This is based on new measures of hazardous air pollutants from the EPA, called the National Air Toxics Assessment. This analysis models respiratory illness and cancer risk down to the zip code level, providing better detail and insight than the previous analysis based solely on results from air monitoring stations.

Evergreen water quality is 89. (The US average is 55.)

Note that this is a measure of Watershed quality, not the water that comes from your faucet. The EPA has stated that a healthy watershed is closely related to drinking water quality. The EPA has a complex method of measuring watershed quality using 15 indicators such as pH, chemicals, metals, and bacteria.
