Chapel Home Health today announced that it has been named to the 2007 HomeCare Elite, a compilation of the most successful Medicare-certified home health care providers in the United States. This annual review identifies the top 25% of agencies, ranked by an analysis of performance measures in quality outcomes, quality improvement and financial performance.
The 2007 HomeCare Elite also indicates those providers who are included in the Top 100 and Top 500 of providers nationwide. The data used for this analysis was compiled from publicly available information.
“We applaud the success of all the providers named to the 2007 HomeCare Elite,” said Bill Bassett, Senior Director of Market Strategy at OCS, Inc. “Being noted as one of the top performers in the nation in this very competitive environment shows that Chapel Home Health is dedicated to quality and performance.”
Cindy Higgins, Director of Chapel Home Health, “I credit the company’s success to the skills and dedication of the caring employees. We try to treat our patients as if they were our parents or grandparents. This means going the extra mile to make sure all patients’ needs are covered. Even though we are a young company we have over 100 years of experience among us. We picked the elite employees to make up our team.” The attitude of putting the patient first is what helps the company’s ability to rank as one of the HomeCare Elite. She said, “Helping patients by being their advocate with their doctors and insurance companies can also be a challenge. We are dedicated to helping patients live as healthy and independently as possible.”
"Making the 2007 HomeCare Elite is commendable in today’s highly competitive home health care industry," said Jonathan Stern, Group Publisher of DecisionHealth’s Home Health Group. "We congratulate Chapel Home Health on being one of the top 25% best performing home care agencies in the country."
