APRIA Healthcare & Revell Snap Kits: Bringing Comfort & Creativity to Patients' Recovery

Indianapolis, IN – October 26, 2023 – APRIA Healthcare LLC, a leading provider of home healthcare solutions, is teaming up with Revell, the iconic model kit manufacturer, to bring a touch of fun and therapeutic activity to patients undergoing long-term care. It's a bit of an unexpected pairing, right? Healthcare and model building? But it's making a real difference for people dealing with tough times. APRIA, located at 7353 Company Drive, Indianapolis, IN, 46237, and reachable at 717-722-1083, has been dedicated to improving the quality of life for patients for years. They specialize in providing medical equipment, supplies, and clinical support services directly to individuals in their homes. Basically, they help people get the care they need where they need it most - their own comfy space. They're all about making healthcare easier and more accessible. But APRIA recognizes that healthcare isn’t just about the medical stuff. It’s also about feeling good, staying mentally engaged, and having something positive to focus on. That’s where Revell Snap Kits come in. So, What Are Revell Snap Kits? For those who don't remember, or never knew, Revell Snap Kits are plastic model kits designed to be easy to assemble – without the need for glue or paint! They’re a classic hobby that's been around for generations. You get a bunch of plastic pieces, a simple instruction manual, and you snap them together to create cool models – cars, airplanes, spaceships, dinosaurs, you name it. They've got everything from vintage hotrods to futuristic spacecraft. “We started thinking about what we could do to really brighten someone’s day, especially for patients who are stuck at home for extended periods,” explains Sarah Miller, APRIA’s Director of Patient Engagement. “Being sick or recovering from surgery can be isolating and mentally draining. We wanted to offer something that wasn’t just a distraction, but something actively beneficial.” Why Model Building? The Unexpected Therapeutic Benefits It turns out, model building is a surprisingly effective therapy. It's not just about having something to do; it’s about what it does for you. Fine Motor Skills: Working with small pieces helps maintain and improve dexterity – which is super important for patients recovering from injuries or strokes, or those managing conditions like arthritis. It helps keep those hands and fingers moving. Cognitive Function: Following instructions, planning the assembly sequence, and problem-solving when things don’t quite fit all give your brain a workout. It's a great way to keep your mind sharp. Stress Relief: Focusing on a repetitive, hands-on task can be incredibly calming and meditative. It helps take your mind off pain or worries. It’s a real chance to de-stress. Sense of Accomplishment: There's a really good feeling that comes from completing a project, especially when you've faced challenges. Seeing a finished model is a visible symbol of your effort and perseverance. It's a real confidence booster. Social Interaction (Potentially): While often a solo activity, models can also spark conversations and shared interests with visitors, family members or other patients. “We’ve seen family members even helping build the kits with their loved ones,” Miller says. APRIA & Revell: A Partnership Built on Care APRIA partnered with Revell because of the quality and ease of use of their Snap Kits. “We needed something that was accessible to patients of all ages and abilities,” explains Mark Johnson, APRIA’s Supply Chain Manager. “The Snap Kits are perfect because they don’t require any special tools or skills. Anyone can do it!” APRIA is initially offering a selection of Revell Snap Kits as part of their patient care packages. These packages are customized based on the individual patient’s needs and interests, and may also include other therapeutic activities, comfort items, and educational materials. “The response has been amazing,” says Miller. “Patients are really enjoying the kits, and we’re seeing positive results. They’re more engaged, more optimistic, and more motivated to participate in their own care.” Looking Ahead: Expanding the Program APRIA is already planning to expand the program in the coming months. They are exploring partnerships with local hospitals and rehabilitation centers to offer Revell Snap Kits as part of their inpatient and outpatient programs. They’re also looking at different kit options to cater to a wider range of interests and skill levels. “We believe that everyone deserves access to activities that promote their well-being,” says Johnson. “We’re committed to finding innovative ways to improve the quality of life for our patients, and this partnership with Revell is a great example of that.” The combination of APRIA's dedication to patient care and Revell's iconic model kits is proving to be a winning formula. It’s a reminder that sometimes, the simplest things can make the biggest difference in someone's life. It’s not just about getting better physically; it’s about nurturing the mind and spirit along the way.
