Care Matters Registry Launches Caregiver Matching Service

WESTMINSTER, Colorado—Care Matters Registry, a nurse-led home health referral agency, has launched a service in Colorado that connects individuals and families with thoroughly vetted, independent caregivers. The business said the personalized matching model aims to improve access to high-quality, compassionate care while also honoring the autonomy and well-being of caregivers.

Founded by Kimberly Diaz, a dementia specialist and certified death doula, Care Matters Registry was founded with the idea of matching patients with the best fit of caregiver for the patient’s specific needs.

“We go beyond availability and logistics,” said Diaz. “We listen, we learn and we thoughtfully match families with caregivers who can meet their needs and honor their values.”

Caregivers in the registry provide a wide range of non-medical homecare services, including: bathing, dressing and toileting assistance, meal preparation and light housekeeping, companionship and social engagement, transportation to appointments and medication reminders.

Diaz said special consideration is given to individuals living with Alzheimer’s or dementia. The registry offers access to caregivers who have memory care training and possess relevant experience, ensuring placements that prioritize safety, patience and understanding.

“We want every client—especially those with cognitive decline—to feel seen and safe,” said Diaz. “And we want their families to feel confident and supported.”

All caregivers are independent contractors, enabling them to select clients and schedules that best suit their personal lives. Each caregiver is vetted through background checks, reference reviews and credential verification before being added to the registry.

“Working with Care Matters reminded me why I became a caregiver in the first place,” said Sharla Olin, an independent caregiver. “I’m not just filling a shift—I’m building relationships with families who value what I do.”

The registry is also designed to benefit families, providing everything from short-term recovery support to part-time companionship and full-time homecare. 

One local family shared, “We were overwhelmed trying to care for our mom with dementia. Care Matters found us someone who truly understands her, and now we finally have peace at home.”
