Senior Care of Colorado provides high-quality, personalized medical care exclusively to older adults throughout the Denver Metro area and beyond.




Our clinicians see patients in more than 250 different nursing homes and assisted living facilities.



“Our goal as clinicians is to maximize our patients’ quality of life and ability to function well. And respecting the patient’s individual wishes and desires is an important part of that process. Sometimes that even means reducing the number of medications they’re taking. Or gaining a thorough understanding of the psycho-social issues that affect their lives.”      ~ Donald J. Murphy, MD



           

"Finally, I've found a doctor who listens to me and involves me in making good, informed choices about my medical care."
      Our providers regularly write articles and give talks on topics of interest to older adults. Click here to read more.




Our dedicated doctors, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, and licensed clinical social workers are specially-trained in geriatrics and work in close cooperation with one another.




We care for our patients in the office, in their homes, at nursing and assisted living facilities. We work with specialists and hospitalists who provide expert day-to-day hospital care.



“People told us we were crazy; they said it would never work.” says Mike Wasserman, M.D. “But we remained undaunted and kept moving forward.” You see, he and partner Don Murphy, M.D., had an ambitious vision: a dream of creating a successful Medicare-only private practice to serve exclusively seniors in the Denver area. So the two board-certified geriatricians (physicians who specialize in the care of older adults) took a leap of faith in 2001 and founded Senior Care of Colorado, P.C.




We welcome and accept assignment for Medicare and other insurance plans.




Our clinics are conveniently located throughout the Denver Metro/Front Range area and in select rural and mountain communities.




We offer 24-hour/7-day telephone coverage provided by our own skilled practitioners.




New! We now offer psychological assessments, family counseling, and counseling/ therapy for loss and grief, stress, depression, anxiety, and issues of aging.




New! We provide wound care consultation services.




Senior Care of Colorado offers a unique, dynamic and collaborative working environment for physicians, physician assistants, nurse practitioners and other medical and office professionals who are passionate about caring for seniors.

"Medicine is more of an art than a science. A lot of it is simply about trying to help the patient feel better. Just listening and really understanding the problem can sometimes have more impact than a pill."

"You have to have a strong element of compassion mixed with a little bit of craziness to do this work. It's all about love for the patient--treating them with great respect as human beings. You have to be the person that patient needs in that very moment."

The Communication Triad

Physician/Provider, Patient, and Caregiver
by Carol D. Wier, MHS, RN, NP
Senior Care of Colorado, PC


It may surprise you to learn that clear and thorough communication is an essential element in diagnosing and treating medical conditions. The questions we ask and the way we listen are the most important part of any health encounter. The physician or other medical provider must gain a comprehensive picture of the patient’s history and current physical status while the patient must understand the physician’s instructions and treatment plan. Hopefully, there is also an open and caring dialog about treatment options, quality of life, and other related issues. Oftentimes, senior patients will bring their spouses, children, or other family members or caregivers into the conversation as active participants in their medical care—either by choice or by necessity. When this happens, it becomes even more important for everyone involved to communicate well.

For more than 25 years, the Alzheimer's Association Colorado Chapter has lead the fight against Alzheimer's disease and related disorders by increasing the understanding of dementia and its impact on family and community, providing information and support for those affected, and promoting the advancement of research.

Alz_CO_Logo

The Alzheimer’s Association Colorado Chapter is the premier source of information and support for the more than 72,000 Coloradoans with Alzheimer’s disease, their families and caregivers.  Through its statewide network of offices, the Alzheimer’s Association offers a broad range of programs and services, including a 24-hour Helpline, at no cost to families, and funds advancements in research to prevent, treat and eventually conquer this disease. The Alzheimer’s Association advocates for those living with Alzheimer’s and their families on related legislative issues, and with health and long-term care providers. Families throughout the state have access to support services through regional offices in Colorado Springs, Denver, Pueblo, Durango, Grand Junction, and Greeley. Senior Care of Colorado is an ardent supporter of the Alzheimer's Association; in fact, Dr. Donald Murphy is  a member of the organization's Board, and Dr. Mike Wasserman serves on its Caregiver Seminars committee. We regularly participate in Alzheimer's Association events like the Memory Walk and Memories in the Making.

Honest Medicine

"In a warmhearted, practical manner Murphy argues that most older people are overmedicated, overtested, harassed, and made needlessly anxious about health problems. . . . Honest Medicine is a gentle geriatrician's reassuring book that combines common sense with information from the most recent clinical studies."
          ~Modern Maturity
