Most older adults will tell you the same thing: they want to stay home as they age. Surveys show that more than 90 percent of seniors prefer “aging in place,” remaining in their own homes and communities rather than moving to institutional care. The reasons are simple: comfort, familiarity, independence, and dignity.
At Biscochito, aging in place is our philosophy. Our caregivers call it a “custom recipe for living sweetly,” a reminder that the right ingredients — presence, kindness, and respect — make all the difference. With services available in Santa Fe, Boulder, and Houston, Biscochito offers seniors and families a relationship-based model of care that honors both individuality and community.
Biscochito’s Approach to Aging in Place
What makes Biscochito distinct is not only what services are offered, but how they are delivered. Unlike traditional agencies built on rigid hierarchies, Biscochito is a nonprofit cooperative where caregivers lead the way. That structure creates consistency and accountability: clients see the same faces, form genuine bonds, and know their caregivers are empowered to act with compassion and judgment.
Care is never one-size-fits-all. Instead, plans evolve with each person’s changing needs. Some may need only companionship and occasional help around the house, while others may require more consistent daily support. In every case, the focus is on holistic well-being: physical health, emotional connection, and honoring each person’s values and routines.
Santa Fe Home Care
Santa Fe, New Mexico, has its own pace, shaped by art, history, and community life. Biscochito’s caregivers live within that culture and understand what matters most to local seniors. For some, independence means attending gallery openings or chamber concerts. For others, it’s tending a garden or visiting friends at a community center. Our caregivers make those moments possible, with flexible scheduling that adjusts to the seasons — snowy winters, bright summers, and everything in between.
Boulder Home Care
Wellness and outdoor living shape daily life in Boulder, Colorado, and many seniors want to stay active as they age, keeping up with routines they’ve built over decades. That might mean a morning hike, a visit to the farmers market, an evening lecture at the university, or meeting friends downtown. Biscochito caregivers help make those routines easier, offering companionship, safe transportation, and support as needs shift with the seasons.
Boulder’s strong healthcare networks and community organizations also play an important role. Our caregivers coordinate with those resources so seniors remain connected, supported, and able to thrive in the community they call home.
Houston Senior Care
Houston, Texas, is one of the most diverse cities in the country, and Biscochito’s approach reflects that reality. Our caregivers come from many cultural backgrounds and are attuned to the traditions, languages, and multigenerational dynamics of Houston families.
Life in a city this large also brings practical challenges. Seniors may need help navigating transportation across the metro area, coordinating with specialists at the Texas Medical Center, or making time for family and cultural gatherings. Biscochito’s caregivers provide steady support so elders can remain at home while staying connected to the people, places, and traditions that matter most.

What Makes Biscochito Different
The heart of aging in place is the relationships that sustain it. Biscochito’s nonprofit model creates a sustainable environment where caregivers are valued, supported, and consistent. That means families can rely on long-term, trusted connections rather than a revolving door of new faces.
Caregivers live in the same communities as the people they serve. They know the neighborhoods, the local resources, and the culture. Most importantly, they lead with presence — sitting with, listening to, and honoring the stories and traditions of each person they care for.
Getting Started with Biscochito
Planning for aging in place begins with a conversation. A care advisor meets with seniors and their families to understand needs, preferences, and values. From there, a personalized plan is designed, caregivers are carefully introduced, and adjustments are made as circumstances evolve.
Pricing is transparent, with clear hourly rates and guidance on private pay or long-term care insurance options. There are no hidden fees or complicated contracts, just honest information to help families plan with confidence.
