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.

Am I Losing My Mind?

An Accurate Diagnosis is Key to Treating Symptoms of Memory Loss
by Gale B. Nichter, LCSW
Senior Care of Colorado, PC

Memory loss is a condition that people experience as a result of many complex inter-related dynamics: medical conditions, mental health issues, environmental factors, and other contributors. What is “normal” aging, and when do you need to be concerned? In my experience, ageism can sometimes get in the way of a correct diagnosis. Busy physicians may not take the time to look beyond the obvious to investigate the true underlying causes. If you are experiencing memory loss, it is important to have your symptoms diagnosed accurately and early, to understand what’s really going on and get the best treatment possible for your specific condition.

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."
