Boulder Concierge Nursing
Nursing Support for Life’s Unexpected Moments
Amy Castro BSN, RN
Transportation
Why hire a nurse for your transportation home? Our experienced nurses provide safe, reliable transportation home after outpatient surgeries and medical procedures, offering an extra level of care and peace of mind when you need it most. After any kind of sedation or anesthesia, all facilities require a responsible adult to drive you home to ensure you get there safely. We have years of experience with taking care of patients after procedures and know what to look for with possible complications. You might not feel 100% like yourself and we’re here to take care of you.
Once the medical facility lets us know you are ready, we will meet you in the recovery room and review your discharge instructions alongside you. We’ll assist you to the vehicle, drive your house, and help you get settled inside your home so you can begin your recovery with confidence and peace of mind.
Ideal for outpatient surgeries, colonoscopies, cataract procedures, and other outpatient medical procedures.
University of Colorado students
My husband, Peter, and I raised our three daughters in Boulder. They are all in their twenties now, with two currently living out of state while attending graduate school.
As a mom, there have been several times when I wished I had a nurse—and a little bit of mom—available to sit with my daughter in the ER, check on her after surgery, or stop by her dorm room when she wasn't feeling well. These are all experiences we've actually navigated as a family.
During my time working in post-operative recovery, I also cared for many CU students who had been injured during weekend ski trips, mountain biking, or other outdoor adventures. I often heard from parents who wished there were someone local they could call to check on their young adult, provide support, and help facilitate their recovery when they couldn't be there themselves.
These experiences helped inspire my concierge nursing services. My hope is to provide students and their parents with an added layer of support, compassionate care, and peace of mind during times when a little extra help can make all the difference.

How we started
Healthcare can feel overwhelming—especially after surgery, while managing a chronic condition, or worrying about your college-aged student from afar. One question I often heard in practice was: “How do I get help at home?”
As care continues to move into the outpatient setting, many people are discharged home with limited support, leaving families unsure and stretched thin. I saw a clear need for skilled, compassionate nursing care that bridges that gap.
This became personal when my 86-year-old father’s living in Ohio. As his needs changed, we needed a trusted nurse to help monitor his health, notice subtle changes, and provide consistent support to help him stay in independent living. Finding that level of care was harder than I expected. We moved him to Colorado to live with us.
That experience shaped this practice. And, as I thought about it, people of all ages need some help outside the clinical setting. Rides home, dressing changes, post-operative care (drains and tubes, oh my!)…and families are busy or live a distance away.
My goal is to provide the kind of care I wanted for my own loved ones—experienced, thoughtful nursing support that sees the whole person, not just a diagnosis, with years of nursing and life experience.
Whether recovering from surgery, supporting a loved one, or navigating a health challenge, we are here to help bring excellent care to you.
About the nurse
Amy Castro, BSN, RN
I have been a registered nurse since 1997, graduating from Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio. Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of caring for patients in a variety of settings, gaining experience with people and families during some of their most vulnerable moments.
My nursing background includes:
Adult Intensive Care Units at Cleveland Clinic and University Hospitals of Cleveland
Pediatric Intensive Care at Vanderbilt University Medical Center
Outpatient orthopedic surgery recovery at Boulder Surgery Center
After nearly three decades in nursing, I have learned that exceptional care is about more than medical expertise. It is about listening, building trust, providing reassurance, and helping people feel supported as they navigate healthcare decisions and recovery.
