Home Health and Hospice: Essential Care for Our Community

Content provided by Northwest Colorado Health. Home Health and Hospice caregivers make a remarkable difference for the patients of all ages, families and communities they serve. Here in the Yampa Valley, we are fortunate to have had Home Health services available through Northwest Colorado Health since 1964. These services provide essential care for Yampa Valley residents, like Jeff, a long-time local, who was deeply connected with the community. As his ALS progressed, Northwest Colorado Health’s Hospice team was there for him and his wife to improve his quality of life in his final months. Prior to his death, Jeff shared: “Hospice has been so wonderful in this whole process because I never knew we’d talk about death so much, but, you know, it’s not scary like it was.” Northwest Colorado Health is the only provider of Home Health and Hospice services in Moffat and Routt counties.
