A survey recently released by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services reveals St. Rita’s Home Health/LVNA is among the best in the state of Ohio.
The government organization evaluated every home care agency in the country on 11 quality measures. The survey says St. Rita’s Home Health/LVNA ranked well above the state average in every category and well above the national average in the majority of categories.
Ron Drees, sales manager, St. Rita’s Home Health/LVNA services says, "There are many factors that go into making a decision about selecting a home care provider. This is one more tool to assist residents and healthcare professionals in determining the home health care agency that can best meet their needs."
The 11 areas that were ranked pertained to patient mobility, meeting basic daily needs, medical emergencies and mental health status. For example, the survey says St. Rita’s Home Health/LVNA was among the best in helping its patients improve their ability to walk, get in and out of bed, bathe, get dressed and decreased their level of pain and confusion.
The results, Home Health Compare, are available both on-line and over the phone. Residents can click on www.medicare.gov and clicking on the link to Home Care Compare. They can also call toll-free 1-800-MEDICAR.
