Centennial Home Care named to magazine list

Centennial Home Care, which provides home nursing care, was recently named to Success in Home Care magazine's top 25 percent of nation home health agencies list.

"We were very excited because we're just a small company and to be recognized in that way is pretty exciting," office manager Mardi Oliver said.

Centennial Home Care's sole office is in Centennial Mall at 1111 W. Victory Way.

The company provides home nursing assistance for those who were recently released from hospitals. Employees help clients with medications, IVs and dressing changes.

"Little things people can't always do for themselves when they first get out of the hospital," Oliver said.

Companies named to the magazine's list were selected on the basis of quality of care, quality improvement and financial performance, Oliver said. The list was published in the May/June issue of the magazine.

Safeway's Easter Seals fund drive nears goal

Thanks to their customers, Safeway stores across the Rocky Mountain region are nearing their goal of raising $300,000 for Easter Seals during the month of April.
