Based on a comparative analysis of agencies participating in WellSky’s national Home Health CAHPS database, Sparta Community Hospital’s At-Home Health Care ranked in the top 25% nationally for Overall Satisfaction and Likelihood to Recommend.
Agencies named National Best Practice leaders have demonstrated excellence in one of the most meaningful measures of quality in home health care — the patient experience.
Maintaining this distinction for over 15 years reflects a sustained commitment to compassionate care, strong communication, and consistency in performance.
“Being recognized year after year is truly special,” said Cheryl Adams, Administrator of At-Home Health Care. “It speaks to the heart of our team and the relationships they build with patients in their homes. When you’re invited into someone’s home, you don’t take that lightly. That kind of trust isn’t earned overnight — it’s built visit by visit.”
Adams added, “Our team shows up every day ready to listen, to help, and to treat patients the way they would want their own family treated. To see that reflected in patient feedback year after year is something we’re incredibly proud of.”
The Home Health Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (HHCAHPS) survey measures patients’ perceptions of communication, responsiveness, and overall satisfaction with their home health provider. Ranking in the top quartile nationally — especially over a span of more than 15 years — demonstrates not just excellence, but trust built over time.
At Sparta Community Hospital, Believe in Better means continually raising the standard of care — not just inside our hospital walls, but in living rooms, kitchens, and homes across our community.
