At Central Plains Home Health & Hospice, we understand that being home is quite often the best medicine available. That is why our primary focus is to assist patients to remain safe in their homes, bringing healthcare services right into the living room. Our intent at Central Plains Home Health & Hospice is to continually meet or exceed the expectations of those we serve.
Our Story
In 1971, Cozad Community Hospital leadership had the foresight to start a home care agency in Cozad. The first patients were seen in August of 1971. One RN and one home health aide comprised the entire home health staff. The Medicare & Medicaid certified Agency has since come to be known as Central Plains Home Health, covering 5 counties, employing 16 individuals who make over 7000 home visits each year. In 1986, hospice services were added, providing care to the terminally ill. Central Plains Hospice began as a volunteer organization, until 1995 when it became certified by Medicare.
