By: Sherry Netherland, Director of Special Projects for Assisted Healthcare Services

The Assisted family of companies has been named to the 2011 HomeCare Elite^™ for the third year in a row.  HomeCare Elite^™ status represents a compilation of the top-performing home health agencies in the United States.  The annual HomeCare Elite^™ review identifies the top 25 percent of agencies and further highlights the top 100 and top 500 agencies overall. Winners are ranked by an analysis of performance measures in quality outcomes, quality improvement, and financial performance.

Assisted Healthcare Services was deemed “Top 500 Agency” for its Scottsdale, Glendale, and Santa Barbara offices. Our West Covina branch garnered the highest award, “Top Agency.”  The Ventura Office for Assisted Home Care also shared in the “Top 500 Agency” honors.

“The 2011 HomeCare Elite winners demonstrate a commitment to providing their patients with the best possible care while performing at the highest level,” said Nancy Buller, senior director of marketing communications at OCS HomeCare. “We congratulate Assisted Healthcare Services on being one of the top home care agencies in the country.”

Assisted credits the benchmarks of improved pain control, improved functioning for patients in activities of daily living, and judicious use of rehabilitation therapies as contributing factors for the company’s ability to rank as one of the HomeCare Elite.

“DecisionHealth would like to congratulate the top HomeCare Elite agencies that achieved excellent clinical and financial outcomes by providing quality care to their patients,” adds Marci Heydt, executive editor of DecisionHealth’s Home Health Line.

The HomeCare Elite is the only performance recognition of its kind in the home health industry. The HomeCare Elite is brought to the industry by OCS HomeCare, the leading provider of homecare information, and DecisionHealth, publisher of homecare’s most respected independent newsletter Home Health Line. The data used for this analysis was compiled from publicly available information.
