Columbine Health Systems:

For and About Seniors
...continued from home page

Columbine’s staff works at being tuned into the changing needs of the senior population by listening to clients/residents and their families, and by interacting frequently with other community organizations.

It’s all about community. Columbine has been part of the Larimer County community for over 35 years and has always been locally owned and operated. Because of the local ties, decisions are made locally and in relation to the clients served, the employees in the operation, and the surrounding neighborhoods.

The sense of community is also played out in Columbine’s staffing. Currently, over 1,100 local residents are employed within the facilities and there are a number of employees, nurses, dietary staff, pharmacy techs, and others who have been with Columbine Health Systems for over 25 years.

Columbine staff works in conjunction with many local education centers so that grants and collaborations can be pursued as a means to help increase the numbers of health care workers. The plan is to energize and replenish the workforce by providing more training, skill and professional development and by re-enforcing the idea of long-term care as a viable career opportunity.
