Coming Home Connection
Description:
Through the Coming Home Connection, low-income children and adults with severe chronic or terminal illness receive free, in-home, long-term care provided by trained volunteers. Up to 24 hours per day personal and bedside care provides respite for family members and fills gaps when no coverage is available from Medicaid, Medicare, insurance and hospice. Program expansion from Santa Fe to additional rural northern New Mexico counties includes outreach to veterans who may become volunteers or clients. Half of the volunteers in the pilot project were health professionals including nurses, nursing students, physical therapists, massage therapists and personal trainers.
