Community VNA Receives Massachusetts Department of Public Health Top Designation

Posted

Community VNA, located in Attleboro has received the top designation from the Massachusetts Department of Public Health as a result of the State’s recent on-site survey, which is administered every 3 years. Following their intensive review of Community VNA’s home care services, the State inspectors have declared Community VNA to be “deficiency-free”, which is their highest description and equivalent to a perfect score of 100% on an exam. As a result of the successful survey, Community VNA is declared to be re-certified under the federal Medicare program to provide skilled care and services to patients covered by Medicare.

“We are extremely proud of our Community VNA staff for successfully undergoing the rigorous, on-site review that is conducted every 3 years by the State”, said Kathleen M. Trier, Executive Director and CEO of Community VNA. “For seven workdays, the State’s reviewers scrutinized documents they selected randomly, including scores of patient medical records, staff employment files and clinical and administrative policies and procedures. The State’s professional surveyors, including a registered nurse and a social worker, also accompanied some of our staff on patient home visits in order to observe first hand our professional caregivers in action.” Trier noted.

While this examination by the State really puts our agency and all staff under the microscope, we are proud to have demonstrated our qualifications so well, passing with flying colors”, Trier noted. “This recognition follows the distinction last winter of being designated a HomeCare Elite 500, placing Community VNA among the top 5% of agencies across the country for the quality of our care.”
