"This recognition - based on feedback that was received directly from our patients - is a testament to the wonderful home care we are providing to patients throughout the region. To be recognized in the top five percent of homecare providers nationwide for two years in a row is indeed a tremendous honor, and a testament to the consistent quality of our service," said Dr. Ninfa M.

"Our staff provides home care for approximately 400 patients at any given time, averaging over 58,000 home visits per year. Our staff really love what they do and we don't have a lot of turnover, so our patients are able to work with the same clinicians and really build strong relationships with their caregivers. We are not only providing high quality care and therapy within the patient's home, but also providing compassionate support that has led to wonderful patient satisfaction," said Scott Jones, Director of Navicent Home Health.
Last year, SHP recognized Navicent Home Health as a Superior Performer, ranking in the top 20 percent.
