APRIA Healthcare Brings Joy to Patients with Revell Snap Kits - A Unique Therapeutic Initiative

Indianapolis, IN – October 26, 2023 – APRIA Healthcare LLC, a leading provider of home healthcare solutions, is making waves with an unexpected – yet incredibly impactful – addition to its patient care packages: Revell Snap Kits. While known for delivering vital medical supplies and clinical support, APRIA is now focusing on boosting patient spirits and aiding recovery through the therapeutic benefits of model building. APRIA Healthcare, headquartered in Indianapolis, has been a trusted name in home healthcare for years. We deliver everything from nutritional supplies to wound care to patients right where they need it, focusing on improving quality of life and helping people manage chronic conditions. We're all about making healthcare easier and more accessible. But we realized something was missing – a little bit of fun. “We’re dedicated to the whole patient,” explains Sarah Miller, APRIA's Director of Patient Experience. “We deliver the medical stuff, sure, but people are also battling isolation, boredom, and anxiety. We started brainstorming ways to address these emotional needs alongside the clinical ones. That’s when the idea of Revell Snap Kits came up.” So, why model kits? It sounds a little different for a healthcare company, right? Well, it turns out there's a lot of good science behind it. Building Revell Snap Kits isn’t just a hobby; it’s a fantastic form of therapy. Think about it: the act of carefully snapping pieces together, following instructions, and seeing a model come to life requires focus and concentration. For patients dealing with pain or illness, this can be a welcome distraction. It’s a way to “switch off” from worrying and concentrate on something positive and achievable. “We're seeing amazing things happen,” says David Chen, a Registered Nurse with APRIA who’s been involved in the rollout of the program. “Patients tell us it helps with their fine motor skills – which is especially helpful for those recovering from strokes or surgery. But even more, it gives them a real sense of accomplishment. They’re building something. It boosts their confidence and gives them something to be proud of.” Revell Snap Kits, known for their ease of assembly and iconic designs – everything from classic cars and airplanes to Star Wars ships and dinosaurs – are the perfect choice for this initiative. They don't require glue or paint, meaning they’re safe and accessible for patients of all ages and abilities. And the kits themselves are just cool. “We're not just handing out generic activities,” Miller emphasizes. “We work with patients to understand their interests. Do they love cars? We’ll send them a classic Mustang kit. Are they a Star Wars fan? A Millennium Falcon is on its way! Personalization is key.” The feedback from patients has been overwhelmingly positive. APRIA has been flooded with thank-you notes and phone calls from grateful patients who say the kits have made a real difference in their recovery journey. “I’ve been stuck at home for weeks after my knee surgery,” says Margaret R., a patient in Ohio. “The Revell Snap Kit was such a pleasant surprise! It kept me occupied, helped me regain some dexterity, and honestly, it just made me smile. It was a little piece of normal in a really difficult time.” John S., a veteran in Indiana recovering from a heart condition, shared a similar sentiment. “I used to build models with my dad when I was a kid. Receiving the kit brought back a lot of good memories. It was a great way to pass the time and keep my mind engaged.” APRIA isn't stopping at just sending out the kits. The company is also creating online communities where patients can share their finished models, exchange tips, and connect with others who are going through similar experiences. “We want to foster a sense of connection and support,” explains Chen. “Building these models can be a solitary activity, but it doesn't have to be. Our online forums provide a space for patients to share their creations, ask questions, and encourage each other.” The initiative is part of APRIA's broader commitment to holistic patient care. The company believes that addressing the emotional and psychological needs of patients is just as important as providing medical supplies and clinical support. “We’re not just delivering boxes; we’re delivering hope and a little bit of joy,” says Miller. “And we’re proving that sometimes, the best medicine comes in the form of a snap-together model kit.” APRIA Healthcare is currently expanding the program to reach more patients across the country. The company is also exploring partnerships with Revell to create custom kits tailored to the specific needs and interests of its patient population. “We’re always looking for new ways to improve the patient experience,” says Chen. “And if a little bit of model building can make a big difference in someone’s life, we’re all for it.” About APRIA Healthcare LLC: APRIA Healthcare LLC, located at 7353 Company Drive, Indianapolis, IN, 46237, and reachable at 717-722-1083, is a leading provider of home healthcare solutions.
