Tender Care Pediatric Services

What Tender Care Pediatric Services does

Tender Care Pediatric Services Inc. is a privately held, family- and clinician-owned skilled pediatric home health care agency headquartered in Fort Collins, Colorado. Founded in 2005 by Kevin and Debbie Hogfeldt, the company provides in-home health care and medical supplies to children with medical needs across Northern Colorado. It operates as the only privately owned skilled pediatric home care agency in the region and describes itself as the largest and best known in the area.

The core service offering is delivered through four programs: Private Duty Nursing (RN/LPN extended-hour skilled care), Skilled Nursing Visits (RN/LPN episodic physician-ordered care), In-Home Support Services (family-directed attendant care covering personal care, homemaking, and health maintenance), and the CNA Parent/Child Partnership (enabling parents to become Certified Nursing Assistants and deliver compensated in-home care to their own children). A wholly-owned subsidiary division, Tender Care Medical Supply, provides home medical equipment and supplies. The platform is a labor-driven clinical service delivery model rather than a software product; clinical management claims over 250 years of combined pediatric nursing experience.

Revenue is generated through managed services (skilled nursing, CNA, and home support delivered on an hourly/visit basis, typically reimbursed through Medicaid and private payers) and hardware sales of medical equipment via Tender Care Medical Supply. Go-to-market is sales-led and direct-to-family, with each client partnered with an RN Case Manager who coordinates individualized care plans. Publicly disclosed wage data ($22/hr base, $33/hr overtime for CNA Parent/CNA family caregivers) is competitive for the region. Marketing is primarily organic through the company website and Glassdoor employer branding.
