MARQUETTE — U.P. Home Health & Hospice announces the agency has achieved a 5 Star rating for patient surveys through the Home Health Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems and 4.5 Star Rating for quality measures.

HHCAHPS surveys patients to make it easier for families to compare home health agencies. The survey collects feedback from current or recently discharged home health agency patients (or their family) about their experiences. The quality of patient care rating is determined using each home health agency’s scores on 7 individual quality measures, which are based on home health agency patient assessments and Medicare claims. HHCAHPS conducts these surveys completely independently.

Executive Director/Administrator, Jennie Garrett-Bureau, expressed pride in her team. “What this shows us is that even during COVID and all the challenges that we were facing as a health care agency, our team went above and beyond to make sure our patients and families felt safe and supported. I’m extremely proud of the work that we do and the angels that are on the frontline, and in the office, caring for our friends and neighbors.”
