Awarded the Senior Approved Certification

OH: For more than 100 years, the Visiting Nurse Association has been at the heart of quality home healthcare. The Visiting Nurse Association provides comprehensive services to a vast array of patients. From pre-natal assistance to hospice and palliative care. From the human touch of a therapist to the personal one-on-one service of a home visit by a physician.

In keeping with their mission to deliver quality service, the VNA recently contracted with Senior Approved Services, an independent company that performs a confidential consumer-driven survey process. Senior Approved Services surveyed clients that are currently receiving services from each division within the Ohio VNA.

The VNA has successfully received the Senior Approved Certification, a distinction not all home care services have been successful in obtaining. The VNA far surpassed the basic requirement of a 90% approval rating.

"The survey is voluntary and business providers pay for this survey, which should tell you how very dedicated these elder care services are to providing the very best service possible for our senior citizens," offers founder and president of Senior Approved Services, Barbara Mascio.

Clients and their family members completing the survey offered unsolicited comments that confirm how well the VNA serves their clients. One family wrote, "I have been overwhelmed by the service, I know they have a lot people to care for, they treat me like I was their only one." Another commented on the team of VNA Hospice, "They have been a life-line, not just for dad, but for each of us in the family."

An elderly couple, current clients of the VNA House Calls Division (featuring home visits by a physician), wrote, "We love this service, we can't park the car and walk a mile to an office like we used to, thank god these folks are here."

"Our goal is to help seniors connect with safe reliable companies that we can verify a history of quality care. We cannot hope to accomplish this lofty goal without services such as The Visiting Nurse Association of Ohio," states Barbara Mascio. " We are quite pleased to include this service within our exclusive network of other Certified Senior Approved Services."
