History of RVNA

RVNA has been in existence since August 31, 1979, when the first patient was opened to services. Prior to that time, the only home health care services available in Weld County were provided through the Weld County Health Department. A board of citizens whose function was advisory in nature gave community input into the scope of services and policies of that program. Final decisions were by the County Commissioners. Events of the two preceding years had led to a decrease in funding, fewer staff and a reduction in services. A feasibility study of health care providers, community leaders, and consumers determined such an agency would have community support. Thus, the formation of the Rehabilitation & Visiting Nurse Association. RVNA expanded into Larimer County in 1986 when the Larimer County VNA ceased operations and RVNA assumed responsibilities for their clients in the area.

RVNA Home Care Services, RVNA's sister organization, was started on March 14, 1986. This corporation was in response to the needs and requirements of the expanding RVNA. In order to continue to provide the maintenance-type services demanded by clients and still meet the Medicare requirements, it was apparent a new agency should be incorporated and devoted almost exclusively to the maintenance care of the elderly and handicapped.

With changes in Medicare requirements and payments, the two agencies merged under the auspices of RVNA Home Care Services on January 1, 2003. The combined agency was named Rehabilitation and Visiting Nurse Association.
