Jason Schlosky
Jason Schlosky has built his career at the intersection of families and care systems, helping each side understand the other better. As a husband, father of two, and a brother to siblings with disabilities, Jason knows firsthand how overwhelming it can be to navigate care systems that weren't always designed with families in mind. That lived experience doesn't sit in the background of his work. It is his North Star.
With an extensive background in executive leadership across the Colorado home care industry, Jason has dedicated his career to reducing barriers to care and helping hundreds of Colorado families access the services they need. His work centers on Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS), Colorado Medicaid, and the evolving landscape of paid family caregiving, systems he believes should work alongside families, not around them.
Jason is a recognized voice on Community First Choice (CFC) and treating family caregivers as the professional experts they are. His approach blends professional expertise and humor, with compassionate, practical leadership, making complex systems feel more human and less bureaucratic. He is now channeling that experience into something larger. As the founder of Caregivers First Choice, Jason is building the resource he wishes had existed for many families – a place where Colorado caregivers find real answers, real support, and a community that understands what they're carrying.
