Ambulatory Care at Penrose Home Health services a 60-mile radius from our office here in Colorado Springs. Our interdisciplinary team includes skilled nursing, physical/occupational/speech therapy, social work and CNAs. We care for a diverse population of patients, aged 18 and above and deliver skilled care in the patient's home environment. Skilled nursing addresses a wide variety of patient education such as medications and disease processes, as well as direct skills including wound care, ostomy teaching and IV/PICC infusion. We strive to deliver exceptional care and educate patients on how to manage their health conditions at home. Being a part of Penrose-St. Francis allows our clinicians to take advantage of growth opportunities within the system and access to the amazing benefits. The flexibility in home health is second to none. Our clinicians self-schedule their caseload, working around their own and the patient's schedule. Our team is very close-knit and has excellent clinical nursing skills with critical thinking that allows us to practice with autonomy.
