At Colorado Visiting Nurse Association (CVNA), we help seniors remain independent while healing or aging, and we believe in care that promotes self-sufficiency and dignity. Our team has been committed to providing care, comfort, and quality since 1889.
"There are no adequate words to describe how much hospice helped through the last chapter of my dad's life. Hospice staff was like having our own personal angels at our reach. Thank you so much."

Peace of Mind for You and Your Loved Ones from the Comfort of Home
We know that caring for a loved one with an illness can take an emotional toll on a family, and we believe that family members, like you, have enough to worry about. You shouldn’t have to worry about making the right choice of care provider too.
Colorado Visiting Nurse Association (CVNA) provides quality and compassionate care across Front Range communities by a tenured team of trustworthy and loving caregivers, and as a non-profit organization you can rest assured knowing we always put our patients above profits.
In 1889, a group of community volunteers founded the Denver Flower Mission to take flowers and food to the sick and poor of Denver. Recognizing the need for nursing services provided in the home, they hired their first nurse, Hattie. The organization was originally incorporated as the Visiting Nurse Association of Denver (VNA) in 1902.
Today, Colorado VNA provides a variety of services designed to foster elder independence in Colorado, including:
1) CAPABLE (Community Aging in Place-Advancing Better Living for Elders), a home visitation program for older adults developed by Johns Hopkins University School of Nursing. Over the course of 10 visits, six with an occupational therapist and four with a nurse, clients identify self-care goals such as walking to the mailbox, doing laundry, or showering that they would like to address for improved functioning, and to live safely and independently at home. Based on the client's independence goals and their living situation, Habitat for Humanity of Metro Denver also plays a role by implementing minor home modifications such as safety bar installation and floor repair. Colorado VNA's CAPABLE program seeks to demonstrate that modest investments in short-term interventions can help older adults remain in their homes longer, improve health outcomes, and decrease medical costs.
2) Medical Foot Care provided by Colorado Visiting Nurse Association allows patients to receive preventative care and discuss their health with a medical professional. Our nurses build relationships with our foot care clinic patients. These repeat visits let us look at health changes over time, and we can provide referrals for physicians or support systems.
3) Each flu season, Colorado Visiting Nurse Association hosts several flu vaccination clinics across the Denver metro area at various public and private locations.
