Cherished Companions Receives Award for Top Ohio Home Care Agencies

Cherished Companions Home Care Agency is proud to announce that we are the recipient of the Home Care Pulse 2018 Leader in Excellence, Provider of Choice, and Employer of Choice awards for home care agencies in the United States. Only a select few home care agencies receive this honor each year. This year only 130 agencies nationwide and four in Ohio were recipients of the prestigious Leader in Excellence Award. To qualify, an agency must meet rigorous criteria that assess quality of care and satisfaction with both clients and employees. This is the second year in a row that Cherished Companions has won the Leader in Excellence award.

We view these awards as a high honor and we want to share with our community why they matter to us and to our clients.

Why Home Care Agency Awards Matter For Your Loved One

Home care agency awards aren’t just about prestige. They’re about assessing quality of care and value, and they communicate that value to the families we serve. Awards may be earned on the basis of safety, trustworthiness, quality of care, client satisfaction, and caregiver satisfaction. Earning one demonstrates that an agency provides excellent care so you can have peace of mind about your loved one’s health and happiness.

“The Home Care Pulse Award demonstrates our commitment to providing the highest quality care for each and every one of our clients,” said Douglas Wilber, founder and president of Cherished Companions Home Care. “We’re grateful for the award, but we’re even more grateful that our clients and their families trust us to provide compassionate, professional care and companionship for their loved ones.”

Who Provides Valid Home Care Agency Awards?

Agencies may receive awards from a number of different organizations including local business groups and city organizations.

The Home Care Pulse awards are presented by the industry’s leading satisfaction management firm. As a third-party firm, Home Care Pulse provides unbiased, high-quality assessments with no conflicts of interest. These assessments include:

• Interviews with clients

What Qualifies an Agency for Consideration?

To be considered for an award, an agency must become a Trusted Provider and maintain that status over a specified time period, agree to a certain number of client and/or caregiver interviews, and achieve top percentile rankings or Best of Home Care status in specified categories.

Types of Awards

Home Care Pulse offers three categories of awards in addition to its Trusted Provider status. Each award has unique requirements that must be met for an agency to qualify. The three award categories are:

• Provider of Choice—The agency must be a Home Care Pulse Certified Trusted Provider for at least six months, have at least 10% of clients interviewed monthly, and rank in the top 50th percentile in at least two client satisfaction categories in the region.

• Employer of Choice—The agency must be a Home Care Pulse Certified Trusted Provider for at least six months, have at least 10% of caregivers interviewed monthly, and rank in the top 50th percentile in at least two caregiver satisfaction categories in the region.

• Leader in Excellence–The agency must be a Home Care Pulse Certified business for at least twelve months, complete at least two client and two caregiver satisfaction interviews per month for twelve months, and achieve Best of Home Care in at least ten of the fourteen client and caregiver satisfaction categories over the past twelve months. This is the highest award granted by the Home Care Pulse organization.

Home Care Pulse uses the client and caregiver satisfaction surveys to assess an agency based on what clients and caregivers have to say about their experiences there.
