VNS of Connecticut is a Top Agency

Visiting Nurse Services of Connecticut has been named a Top Agency of the 2014 HomeCare Elite, a recognition of the top-performing home health agencies in the United States. Now in its ninth year, the HomeCare Elite identifies the top 25 percent of Medicare-certified agencies and highlights the top 100 and top 500 agencies overall.

Winners are ranked by an analysis of publicly available performance measures in quality outcomes, best practice (process measure) implementation, patient experience, quality improvement and consistency, and financial performance. In order to be considered, an agency must be Medicare-certified and have data for at least one outcome in Home Health Compare.

Out of 9,994 agencies considered, 2,501 are elite.

This is the fifth consecutive year that VNS of Connecticut, which serves patients in Fairfield, New Haven and Litchfield counties, has been named a HomeCare Elite agency. VNS is one of only two Connecticut home health agencies that has been named to the elite list six times over the programs history.

The agency has a clinical practice branch at 65 Commercial Drive in Torrington.

There is no doubt that the willingness of our employees to embrace changes required by our evolving health care delivery system, while all the while ensuring the finest in patient care services, is the number one reason that our agency continues to recognized as an elite provider, said VNS Administrator Jeanne Bodyk. We are extremely proud of the work our staff do each day in service to our patients.
