Colorado PACE Participant Spotlight: Barb Curtis
Barb Curtis may be a participant at Colorado PACE, but she’s also become one of our most enthusiastic ambassadors.
Barb began receiving services from Colorado PACE in October after growing frustrated with the support she was receiving from a previous provider. Since then, her experience has been transformative. “Colorado PACE has been a godsend,” she says. “I just can’t say enough good things about it. Every person here cares about you, listens to you, and gives you the opportunity to make your own choices.”
Many of Barb’s choices at Colorado PACE center around her love of the creative arts. She is especially skilled at diamond art, a detailed craft that uses tiny resin “diamonds” placed on a sticky canvas to create colorful, shimmering designs. Several of Barb’s pieces are proudly displayed throughout the Colorado PACE Center, including a majestic eagle she created with great care and patience.
Barb credits Colorado PACE with improving her life in meaningful ways. “I am not the same person I was before,” she shares. “Colorado PACE has helped me come out of my shell.” Anyone who knows Barb can attest to that—she’s quick to share her positive experience with friends, neighbors, and even strangers, often encouraging others to explore Colorado PACE for themselves.
Barb attends the Colorado PACE Center five days a week and says simply, “When I’m not here, I miss it.” We miss you when you’re not here too, Barb—and we’re grateful to have you as part of the Colorado PACE family and as a passionate advocate for the work we do.
