ORANGE CITY AREA HOME HEALTH & HOSPICE RATED IN FIRST-EVER “BEST HOME HEALTH” BY U.S. NEWS & WORLD REPORT

Orange City Home Health recognized as a High Performing home health agency with a score of 4.25/5

U.S. News & World Report, the global authority in health care rankings and consumer advice, released its first-ever ratings for Best Home Health. This new evaluation provides a data-backed digital resource for millions of Americans seeking high-quality health care in the comfort of their own homes following a hospital stay or illness.

Orange City Home Health, a division of Orange City Area Health System, scored high in both Health Care Quality (3.5/5) and Patient Experience (5/5). An agency’s Quality of Care score measures how well they help patients achieve better health outcomes and avoid hospitalizations and other complications. The Patient Experience score is based on a national survey of patients and their family members that asks about professionalism, communication, overall satisfaction, and other aspects of care they received.

“We are incredibly grateful for the trust our communities place in us to provide compassionate, high-quality care right in the comfort of their own home, because there is truly no better place to heal,” commented Korrie Ewoldt, Home Health & Hospice Manager. “Our dedicated team is passionate about helping patients feel confident, supported, and empowered as they work toward their personal health goals.”

According to U.S. News & World Report, The Best Home Health methodology leverages two data sets from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. Data on care quality measures, including timely initiation of care and outcomes such as potentially preventable hospitalizations, were combined with patient experience surveys to produce the ratings. The ratings and underlying data for each agency, published on USNews.com, provide consumers with the trusted data and clarity they need to confidently choose, in consultation with their health care providers, the right care for a family member or themselves.

Ewoldt added, “As a proud part of the Orange City Area Health System team, our home health staff provides seamless, coordinated care, from hospital recovery, to managing chronic conditions and regaining independence at home. Our staff is honored to walk alongside our patients in every stage of their journey. We look forward to serving our patients and their families for years to come.”
