What is Home Care?

Navigating the health care system can be complicated.  Understanding which services are available can make your journey back home more successful. Columbine Health Systems strives to coordinate smooth transitions and can help if you have had a recent hospitalization, are recovering from a surgery, or have had a change in health condition and leaving your home is not practical.   

Columbine Poudre Home Care offers in-home medical/skilled services in Larimer and Weld County including: RN care for disease and medication management, physical, occupational and speech therapy, certified nursing assistants to help with bathing, as well as community case managers to aid with long term planning.

Typically, insurance will pay for skilled nursing or therapy services short term if you are “homebound”, meaning it takes considerable and taxing effort to leave your home. If you and your doctor agree it is difficult for you to leave your home, our 4.5 star home care team is ready to create a personalized care plan to help you regain functional abilities such as; strength, balance, dressing, bathing, and walking safely.

On average, our clients receive services a few times a week for about two to three weeks; however we also offer private duty nursing and therapy services.

Columbine Poudre Home Care also offers non-medical services through Bloom at Home; providing personal care givers to assist with medication reminders, companionship, pet care, light housekeeping, and meal preparation from your customized care plan. Our trained care providers strive to meet personal and homemaking needs and assist in daily activities which may have become challenging. 

Columbine Poudre Home Care’s goal is to support people to be healthy and safe in the comfort of their home. Please contact us to learn more about how Columbine Poudre Home Care and our Bloom at Home can help you or your family!
