The Central Palm Beach County Chamber of Commerce Congratulates

Chamber Member, Visiting Angels, for Being Ranked Among

The Best Home Care Companies in the U.S.

Loxahatchee, FL – In a crowded industry where home care has been commoditized, Visiting Angels, located in Delray Beach, is among only three private duty home care companies in the entire state of Florida being recognized nationally for outstanding services to their clients and caregivers, and the only one in Palm Beach County to receive the honor.

Visiting Angels in Delray Beach received this year’s distinguished Best of Home Care Leader in Excellence Award from Home Care Pulse, the leading firm in quality assurance for private duty home care. The Award was given to the select few home care businesses that consistently ranked among the highest in 18 or more, out of 22 quality metrics assessed by Home Care Pulse. As a Leader in Excellence, Visiting Angels is now ranked among the best home care companies in the country.

“I congratulate Visiting Angels, their management, staff and registered nurses and nurse aides for making a difference in the lives of seniors,” says Wayne Burns, CEO, Central Palm Beach County Chamber of Commerce.  “Through the voice of the people receiving care from Visiting Angels, this small business has proven they really care about their clients and today stand above all the rest.”

This accomplishment demonstrates Visiting Angel’s long-term dedication to excellent service and quality improvement. To qualify for this award, ten percent of their clients and caregivers were interviewed each month by Home Care Pulse. Over a 12-month period, Visiting Angels has ranked among the top five percent in overall client and caregiver satisfaction ratings in areas such as compassion of caregivers, communication, scheduling, response to problems and overall quality of care. Using feedback from clients and caregivers, as well as quality benchmarks from Home Care Pulse, the Visiting Angels management team continues to set goals to reach the highest level of excellence possible.

“At Visiting Angels, we are experts at solving the difficult challenges facing families of seniors who wish to age in place with dignity,” says Lori Dahan, Director of Visiting Angels.  “The caregivers we refer provide a full range of non-medical, in-home care services and we are proud that they and our staff have been recognized for their compassion, dedication and hard work.  Clients are pleasantly surprised to find at Visiting Angels character counts and family matters.”

The Best of Home Care Leader in Excellence Award highlights the top-performing home care businesses in the nation. Home Care Pulse believes that by honoring these providers, families looking for in-home care for a loved one will be able to recognize and choose a trusted home care provider.

“Our goal at Home Care Pulse is to empower home care businesses to reach their goals and deliver the best home care possible,” says Aaron Marcum, CEO and founder of Home Care Pulse. “We are happy to recognize Visiting Angels as a Leader in Excellence. We’ve been impressed by their commitment to their clients and caregivers, as well as the quality of the overall services they provide.
