DENVER - NOVEMBER 09: (BEST OF YEAR PACKAGE) Carlos Granillo, 31, is embraced by his sons in his bed at home on November 9, 2009 in Denver, Colorado. Granillo, an immigrant from Mexico, suffered severe brain damage in a jet ski accident in July and received emergency medical care at a hospital emergency room. He was working as a construction worker without health insurance when the accident occurred. He receives home health care visits from Dominican Sisters Home Health Agency, a non-profit that performs some 25,000 home visits each year in the Denver area. The agency provides free home nursing care to patients with chronic diseases, helps them to better manage their disabling illnesses and provides custodial services with the aim of keeping patients in their homes and out of more expensive nursing home care.
