ABOUT DIGNITY

A home-grown agency built around one idea: dignity isn't optional.

Dignity is the PASA program of American Trusted Nurses LLC, a Colorado agency supporting people enrolled in the HCBS-DD, HCBS-SLS and HCBS-CES waivers.

We believe the people we support should set the terms of their own lives: where they live, how they spend their day, and who they spend it with. Our role is to make that possible, not to manage it for them.

OUR SERVICES

Eight ways we show up, depending on what someone actually needs.

Every service is delivered against a person's own plan, never a one-size schedule. Here's what we offer.

Host Home
A Host Home Provider shares their residence with one to three individuals, offering daily support, habilitation, and a genuine household to belong to.
Adults
Supported Community Connections
One-on-one or small-group support to build relationships, skills, and independence through volunteering, recreation, and community life.
18+
Homemaker Services
Routine housekeeping and, where needed, extraordinary cleaning to keep a home safe and livable.
All ages
Community Connector
One-on-one support helping a young person build friendships and confidence out in the community they already live in.
12–17
Mentorship
Real-world coaching in self-advocacy, from interviewing your own providers to navigating a hard health decision.
18+
Respite
Planned, trusted relief care so a family caregiver can rest, travel, or simply take a breath.
All ages
Youth Day Services
Supervised daytime care for a young person whose disability, not just their age, means they need support while a caregiver works.
12–17
Prevocational Services
Building the everyday work-readiness habits (attendance, focus, teamwork, safety) that open the door to future paid work.
18+

HOW WE WORK

Services should fit into a life, not replace one.

We follow the federal HCBS Settings Rule because it describes what we already believe.

Choice, every day

What to eat, when to wake up, who to spend time with: these stay the person's decisions, always.

In the community, not apart from it

Our services happen in real neighborhoods, workplaces, and public spaces, never in isolation.

Ready for emergencies

Every person we support has a personal emergency plan, and every host home is checked for safety each quarter.
