Reflections on 30 Years of Providing Home Care

7/1/2019

Picture
Columbine Caregivers has been providing home care in Mesa County for over thirty years.  To our knowledge, no other provider has been providing services longer.

Since its inception in 1989, the company has grown and evolved- as has our community and the home health care industry.  In 1989, there were few options available to people who wished to receive health care and non-medical support in their homes- instead of receiving these services in an institution.  Medical technology designed to monitor people in a home setting was limited.  People with medical conditions that required regular monitoring and intervention were almost compelled to move to a facility that provided nursing services.

In recent years, advances in medical technology available to area residents and the expansion of home care businesses in western Colorado has made staying home longer more plausible and safer.

We have been honored to serve hundreds of families over the first 30 years of our company's operation and we hope to be here- helping others- for many years to come.

​Thank you to everyone who has employed us, referred people to us or have worked for Columbine Caregivers over the years.  Everyone associated with Columbine Caregivers greatly appreciates the continued support and opportunity to serve our community!
