Press Release from Casey’s Pond; Oct. 1, 2024.

Casey’s Pond has officially been saved! On Monday, September 30, the purchase of Casey’s Pond was finalized and Northwest Colorado Health assumed ownership of the senior living community.

Most of the purchase price was raised through individual donations from over 400 generous community members, ranging in amounts from $10 to multiple millions of dollars, as well as contributions from the City of Steamboat Springs and Routt County, and the incredible leadership of the Yampa Valley Community Foundation in raising the funds necessary to close the deal.

Casey’s Pond is now a part of Northwest Colorado Health, and Capella Living Solutions will continue to provide management support services to maintain the day-to-day operations, ensuring that the high quality and professional standards, as well as the dedicated staff will remain in place.
