Care Services Program
The South Central Council of Governments (SCCOG) Care Services Program is licensed by the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment to provide non-medical, in-home support in Huerfano County, Las Animas County, and limited areas of Southern Pueblo County.
Our goal is simple: to ensure every resident of Las Animas and Huerfano Counties has access to a safe, sanitary home environment that supports independent living. We do this by offering personalized care that helps individuals remain safely and comfortably in their homes while promoting independence and well-being.
What We Offer
Unlike skilled home health care, which requires a physician’s order and clinical oversight, our services are flexible, and client centered.
Our services include:
- Personal care assistance
- Daily living support
- Companionship and social interaction
- Customized care planning
Each client receives a home assessment by our Case Management team, followed by a tailored care plan developed in collaboration with the client and their family.
What Sets SCCOG Care Services Apart
- Compassionate, trained personal care providers
- Services available in both urban and rural areas
- Emphasis on emotional well-being and social connection
- Peace of mind for families and caregivers
Payment and Funding Options
We work with a variety of funding sources to make care accessible:
- Medicaid Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS)
- Private Pay
- Grant assistance (when available through the Huerfano Las Animas Area Agency on Aging)
Our Locations
We operate two administrative offices to serve our region, and our provider staff are available throughout both counties, including the most remote communities.
