Warwick, RI – Care New England is proud to share that the U.S. News & World Report has ranked VNA Home Health & Hospice (formerly VNA of Care New England) as Best Home Health and High Performing.
“Home health and hospice care are essential to meeting patients where they are, whether they are recovering from surgery or illness, managing a chronic condition, or facing the end of life,” said Jane Pike-Benton, president and COO, VNA Home Health & Hospice. “Our team of visiting nurses, therapists, and other clinicians brings skilled healthcare and compassionate support directly to patients. Our mission is to help patients maintain dignity, independence, and quality of life wherever they call home. We are also there to support families during some of their most vulnerable moments, so they don’t feel like they are navigating their healthcare journeys alone. We are honored to be recognized by U.S. News for the work we do every day.”
In its inaugural review, U.S. News evaluated 12,157 Home Health Agencies across the country. It determined the ratings based on rigorous, unbiased analysis published by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). It assessed both the quality of care and patient experience through sixteen measures. Only 10% of those rated met the standard of being named U.S. News Best.
