Adena Home Health and Hospice receive accreditation

By
-

Adena Home Health and Adena Hospice have each earned a three-year accreditation from the Accreditation Commission for Health Care, Inc. (ACHC).

Accreditation is the result of a professional peer review administered by a private nonprofit organization. It is the most commonly accepted means of assuring quality care and products. Adena Home Infusion, DME and Respiratory was accredited by ACHC in late 2011.

“The quality of home care can vary from one organization to another,” said Mark Shuter, Adena’s president and CEO. “Accreditation by one of the country’s most stringent surveyors assures our patients that Adena’s home health and hospice services are among the best in the nation.”

Accreditation is a means of measuring organizational management, internal processes, patient safety practices and service outcomes. In general, organizations that have earned ACHC accreditation are most serious about maintaining the quality of services and products they provide.

Adena’s Home Health and Hospice provides healthcare services and support to families and patients in Ross, Pickaway, Hocking, Vinton, Jackson, Pike, Highland and Fayette counties. To request services, please call (740) 779-4692 or (800) 799-7710.
