For almost two decades, Ellen Knapp has been providing exceptional care to seniors in the Boulder / Denver area. For years, Ellen owned and managed an exquisite small group home for frail elders called Temenos House. I was struck again and again by Ellen’s sensitivity, creativity and warmth. I have referred many families to Ellen, both at Temenos and in her private work since. She has a knack for befriending elders, even those whom others might describe as difficult. In my work of training and supervising care-givers, I have found Ellen to be the best of the best. I would recommend her to any family and, were my parents in need, she would be my first call.
