Home Care Advisory Committee Accepting Applications for Consumer Representatives

The Home Care Advisory Committee is now accepting membership applications from members of the disabled community who are home care consumers, seniors or representatives of seniors who are home care consumers. 

Per statutory requirements (C.R.S. 25-27.5-101), the Home Care Advisory Committee is to consist of representatives from agencies as well as members of the disabled community who are home care consumers, seniors or representatives of seniors who are home care consumers. Members serve on a voluntary basis and are appointed by the Executive Director of the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment. 

The Home Care Advisory Committee members meet once a month to review and discuss the rules that govern the licensing of home care agencies in the State of Colorado. They consider the impact of the program and the effectiveness of enforcement and make recommendations to both the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment and the State Board of Health. 

The guidance and contributions of consumers of home care and their representatives is invaluable to the committee and the Department. 

If you are aware of a consumer or representative that may be interested in joining the committee, please share the attached Home Care Advisory Committee membership application with them. Please direct any questions to Matt Shadle, Home Care Services Section Manager at matt.shadle@state.co.us or at (303)692-2981

Thank you in advance for helping make interested consumers aware of the opportunity and for assisting the committee with the search.
