Among the Best in the Nation
VNA of Middlesex-East provides home health and hospice services in 36 Greater Boston communities. The agency also owns and operates the 9-bed Sawtelle Family Hospice House in Reading.
VNA of Middlesex-East is proud to be among the Home Care Elite*, a compilation of the top-performing home health agencies in the United States. We place in the top 500 agencies, out of more than 12,000 nationwide, ranked by an analysis of quality outcomes, quality improvement process, and financial performance. We also perform very high on all Medicare mandated outcomes of care. These are measures that are tracked quarterly by the government and reflect on our success in improving the health of patients receiving our care. Click here to see our most current marks. Among those measures is our rehospitalization rate. This very important statistic reflects on our ability to keep our patients safe at home without repeat visits to the hospital. VNA of Middlesex-East has a consistent 13 to 14% rehospitalization rate, the lowest in Massachusetts.
Our home health services help patients stay safe and independent in their own home when recovering from illness or managing a chronic disease.
Our hospice services help those who have reached a point in a terminal illness where the focus is not on curing the illness but on providing care and comfort. This special kind of care respects a person's need for dignity and comfort during the final stages of life.
