Home-Based Healing, with Heart!

Bringing healing and heart into your home is the mission of the Mount Evans Home Health Care team.  Our professionally-trained, compassionate nurses, therapists, social workers and certified nursing assistants (CNAs) design and deliver customized care to meet your specific needs and help you feel safe, capable and confident. 

We know that performing the most basic, everyday tasks can be frustrating and stressful when your health is compromised.  It’s challenging to recover from an injury, get back-on-track after surgery, or realize that, as the years pass, it takes more effort to navigate your daily routine. During these vulnerable times, you can rely on the Mount Evans team to motivate and support you along the way, providing the most advanced home-based approaches to health care and rehabilitation with respect and kindheartedness.

Nursing Services

It’s as much about relationships as recovery. Admittedly, our nurses get attached to their patients.  They become family members and our team takes their progress personally. Mount Evans’ in-home nursing services are designed to help patients heal where they live.  Our nurses combine state-of-the-art treatment protocols with a personal touch, caring for patients and while creating trusting, long-lasting relationships.

Services Include:

  • Treatment and monitoring of symptoms, wounds, and infections
  • Condition-specific care and teaching
  • Medication management and education
  • Communicating and consulting with physicians
  • Training caregivers
  • Promoting healing and wellness

"They were a team that can’t be beat. A year ago, I was in bed and not able to walk. I’m now able to walk. Without them, I would still be in my room. They mean the world to me. I love every one of them.”

“I am very pleased with my therapist. She showed me how to build up my strength again. I couldn’t have done it without her. Thank you Mount Evans for a wonderful coach.”

Physical Therapy

Our home-based physical therapy services are as distinct as the patients who are part of our family.  The Mount Evans team identifies the most effective care plan for each individual we have the privilege of serving. If you’re with us for a few weeks or for many months, we’ll walk with you every step of the way as you regain your strength, balance and self-sufficiency. 

Therapies Include:

  • Orthopedic
  • Gait analysis
  • Strengthening: post-hospital stay or related to a diagnosis
  • Specialized approaches to address vestibular, chronic pain, pelvic floor and women’s health issues
  • Applied manual therapy

Occupational Therapy

Whether your goal is to climb a fourteener or play with your grandchildren, our occupational therapists can help you get there!  We work with you to create a program that will enable you to achieve progress while healing in a safe, familiar environment in your own home. 

Here’s how we do it:

  • Assess your mobility, personal care and equipment requirements
  • Ensure that your environment is safe
  • Partner with you to establish realistic benchmarks for progress
  • Write your personal action plan and revise it based on your evolving needs
  • Review basic rules for effective healing
  • Help you accomplish routine tasks and gain confidence

“The staff from Mount Evans thought of things we never would have thought of … better ways to sleep, better ways to move around the house, better ways to do everything. The staff was a god-send.”

“Each person from Mount Evans Home Health Care was very professional. I looked forward to them coming into my home. What a blessing to have such fine health care available in our mountain area.”

Speech Therapy

It’s easy to take basic communications skills for granted.  How often do we think about the amazing link between having an idea and being able to express it through clear, articulate, understandable speech?  Losing the ability to speak can leave you feeling isolated and helpless.  Our speech therapists teach patients how to overcome challenges that can result from the impact of a stroke, brain tumor, dementia, cognitive decline or living alone.

Areas we focus on:

  • Speaking and articulation (vocal quality, volume and projection)
  • Speech cognition (problem solving)
  • Short-term and long-term memory issues
  • Ability to understand and express ideas
  • Swallowing safely

Medical Social Work

We are passionate about helping you live on your own terms.  Remaining in your home, maintaining your daily routine and engaging in your favorite activities are essential to you, and priorities for us.  Our social services team is your partner in developing a roadmap of resources that will support you on your journey.  

We also can be your sounding board when you are ready to consider longer term plans.  You can feel comfortable asking our professional staff for information about essential legal documents such as advance health care directives, living wills, and powers of attorney.  Given our vast network of health care partners, we can make referrals to assisted living communities and nursing homes, ensuring that we are listening to you and your caregivers at each critical juncture.

Throughout the course of your relationship with Mount Evans, our social workers become your personal advocates – identifying and coordinating all of the non-medical services you need to age in place easily and gracefully.

“I can only say that I could not have managed or survived without Mount Evans. I felt wholly supported.

“I have always believed that giving your heart when someone has had surgery or been sick makes all the difference. You must look around and find the needs of the client you are taking care of – not just do the 1-6 checklist your company or office give you. Every home and every person’s needs are different.”

Certified Nursing Assistants

Our certified nursing assistants (CNAs) provide extra support for your daily activities and are dedicated to helping you regain your independence. All services are part of a specific plan supervised by a nurse or therapist.

CNAs focus on:

  • Activities of daily living such as eating, bathing, grooming and dental care.
  • Care activities such as checking a patient’s pulse, respiration and blood pressure.
  • Support in completing tasks assigned by the supervising nurse or therapist to ensure that each patient’s customized care plan is achieved.
