Of course, we recognize that everyone’s idea of “quality of life” is different, which is why it’s so important to us to make you an active part of your own care plan. We want you to be in the driver’s seat regardless of any limitations or challenges you’re facing.

Patti Walter, Owner
Right at Home Fort Collins
Serving Seniors and Adults with Disabilities Across Northern Colorado's Communities
Patti Walter and Pat McCann have owned Right at Home of Northern Colorado since April 2013. As the Agency Manager, Patti is responsible for overseeing the day-to-day operations of the agency. With a deep commitment to caring for others, Patti's passion for service is evident in everything she does. Her empathy and compassion have only grown stronger after her own accident where she fell and shattered her left leg, which deepened her understanding of the challenges individuals face and further fueled her dedication to home care.
Patti’s diverse career journey has equipped her with a broad skill set, making her well-prepared for her role in home care. She began at the Humane Society for Larimer County, where she worked as a Humane Educator and started a Pet Therapy program in nursing homes. She then transitioned to the General Nutrition Center, opening two stores in Montana, before returning to Fort Collins to work as an employment counselor and later as an office manager at Mountain States Personnel. After earning her medical assistant certification from IBMC, she worked in pain management. These experiences have shaped Patti’s deep passion and ability to provide exceptional care in Northern Colorado.
Patti is thrilled to bring all of her skills, life experiences, energy, and passion to support individuals in maintaining their independence and improving their quality of life through “ability-driven, person-centered care.” Her journey has shaped her into a leader who is deeply invested in making a meaningful difference in the lives of those she serves.

A Local Pioneer
Patti was on the leading edge locally in the use of Pet Therapy, also known as Animal-Assisted Therapy. Animal-assisted therapy is a growing field that uses dogs or other animals to help people recover from or better cope with health problems, such as heart disease, cancer and mental health disorders. Patti developed programs and therapy encounters, bringing the comfort and joy of therapy dogs to local and regional nursing homes.


Our Philanthropy
Globally, an estimated 70 million people with disabilities have no access to a wheelchair. Those who cannot walk must crawl or be carried to their destination. In collaboration with a network of like-minded partners, Free Wheelchair Mission has distributed more than 1 million wheelchairs to people with disabilities in 93 developing countries around the world, providing renewed dignity, independence and hope through the gift of mobility, at no cost to the recipient.
As an organization, our work with Free Wheelchair Mission began in 2016 as we looked for a partner that would help us further our mission of improving lives worldwide. To date, our team’s efforts have raised more than $400,000 that has funded over 5,000 wheelchairs, which were distributed through life-changing Vision Trips to Vietnam, Ecuador and Costa Rica.
