Happy Tip Tuesday! Working with people in their homes, in their workplaces, on community MATTERS. We don't do life in a clinic, so do we have to do therapy in a clinic? Make sure you know if your city has a mobile outpatient practice that you can work with when needed.

And don't take it from my anecdotal advice. Follow the research and find out for yourself!

"Essentially, ecological validity is the ability of an evaluation to measure, collect and/or record behaviors or occupational performance that would be observed or required in a typical context or environment of daily life. Performance in domestic environments was significantly better.".
The Open Journal of Occupational Therapy

My patient received this at home today:
💥 Skilled assessment of body mechanics during delivery from the supermarket and preparation of small meals to reduce pain and risk of falls
💥 Training with her four-wheeled-walker outdoors across grass, on sidewalks, curb cuts, and parking lots to improve brake management, posture and pain control
💥 Guidance on options for unusual placement of grab bars in the home to help with activities of daily living

The best! Rewarding. Meaningful. Purposeful. Not only for our patients, but for us!

With mobile therapists and allied health professionals up and down the Front Range, it is a challenge but one we are grateful to take on!

Tomorrow we gather online for our monthly Ethics and Efficiency meeting with the talented and innovative Megan Butler, OTR at the healm. She has learned new ways to integrate AI into care while being safe and HIPAA compliant. We will also discuss Cybersecurity as mobile outpatient providers because everyone needs to stay diligent to protect clients and families.

Looking forward to seeing our staff and contractors tomorrow, even if it is through the screen!

If you are curious about how YOU can work with us, reach out!

Where were you when the world stopped turning? No doubt you remember. Heartbreak and trauma burns its way into our memories im a way we can not forget.

We all started our days just like a normal day. Drove to work. Poured a cup of coffee. Powered up a computer. Assessed our schedule. Checked voicemail.

Just another Tuesday.

And then it wasn't.

2,977 people died that day. Our country dropped to it's knees in disbelief and grief.

Let us not remember the number. Let us remember the names, the lives, the individuals.

Sandra Teague was a 31-year-old physical therapist from North Carolina who died aboard American Airlines Flight 77 when it crashed into the Pentagon. She worked at Georgetown University Hospital in Washington, D.C., and was embarking on her first trip abroad to Australia when the attacks occurred. Her colleagues and patients remembered her as an exceptionally dedicated and caring healer, and her university later established a physical therapy scholarship in her honor.

Touri Bolourchi was a 69-year-old retired nurse who spoke six languages. She was a passenger aboard United Airlines Flight 175.

Lydia Estelle Bravo was a 50-year-old occupational health nurse working for Marsh & McLennan Companies, Inc. on the 94th floor of the North Tower.

Ronald Bucca was a 47-year-old fire marshal for the New York City Fire Department (FDNY). He was a trained licensed practical nurse (LPN) who served as a first responder.

These are people we might have worked with. These are people just like all of us. We must remember them for their lives and not just how they senselessly died.

As we remember our country's wounds today, let us recall how we all came together on Sept 12th.

God bless New York City. God bless the USA. We will never forget.

Ok, let's be clear: What do you get better at when you walk everyday?

Oh! Walking! This is so AWESOME!

Guess what doesn't get better when you walk every day AND skip weights, stretching, dynamic movement?

🌠 Fall prevention
🌠 Pain control
🌠 Balance

We can help soooooooo many people be safer and more independent at home through PT and personal training at home.

What if bringing these services into your home meant you could live there forever? Hands down, worth it.

One of the most important things we can do when we're worried about someone is also one of the hardest:

Ask the question.

“Are you thinking about su***de?”

We sometimes avoid saying the word su***de because we're afraid we'll make things worse or put the idea in someone's head. But asking directly does not cause suicidal thoughts—and it may give someone permission to finally tell the truth about how much they're struggling.

Don't dance around it. Don't assume someone else will notice. Don't wait until you know exactly what to say next.

Ask. Listen without judgment. Take their answer seriously. Stay connected and help them get support.

You don't have to have all the right words to potentially make a difference in someone's life. ❤️

If you or someone you know is struggling or in crisis, call or text 988 to reach the Su***de & Crisis Hotline.

🇺🇸 Labor Day can feel like the unofficial last weekend of summer—a day for barbecues, lake days and one last long weekend before fall really begins.

But its history deserves to be remembered.

On September 5, 1882, approximately 10,000 workers gathered in New York City for what became the first Labor Day parade. They marched to recognize the contributions of working Americans and advocate for better working conditions. In 1894, Labor Day officially became a national holiday. And here’s a Colorado connection we love: Colorado was one of the early states to legally recognize Labor Day, doing so in 1887. 🇺🇸

At Covell Care, we believe the spirit behind this day still matters.

Our leadership team and support team spend their working days caring and coordinating for people—driving into communities, solving problems, answering calls, completing documentation, supporting families, advocating for patients and helping people live fuller, safer and more independent lives.

That work matters.

And so does rest.

That’s why Covell Care is closed today.

We want our team to observe Labor Day by stepping away from the work. Sleep in. Go outside. Have lunch with someone you love. Play with your kids. Read something that has nothing to do with healthcare. Sit on the porch. Take the hike. Eat the barbecue. Do absolutely nothing for a while.

Because Labor Day was created to honor the people behind the work—not just the work they produce.

Today, we are incredibly grateful for every person who chooses to bring their gifts, knowledge, compassion and time to Covell Care and to the people we serve.

To our team: thank you. Your work changes lives. Today, we hope you take some time to simply enjoy yours. ❤️🤍💙

Happy Labor Day from all of us at Covell Care & Rehabilitation.

For older adults, utilizing home and community-based healthcare models increases the probability of maintaining good physical health while significantly decreasing depression scores and improving overall cognitive function.

We see patients at home ON PURPOSE. It is not just for patients' convenience. It is because people perform better and have decreased episodes of falls, injury, depression, ER trips and more.

It is an honor and a calling to make healthcare, especially OT, PT, SLP, LCSW, massage and fitness available at home for ALL communities.

Home is where the heart is. And it is where people DESERVE to heal, grow, and feel loved and taken care of whenever possible. 💞
