Visiting Angels of South Elgin was recently honored to be awarded Best of Home Care by Home Care Pulse (HCP). HCP is a national independent survey firm which conducts scientific surveys of the satisfaction level of both clients and caregivers of participating private-pay home care agencies. It is the only available source of independent verification of quality services, and Best of Home Care is HCP’s highest level of recognition. Importantly, the reports are not simply positive vs. negative responses; rather, the ratings compare participating agencies with other agencies, so that achieving Best of Homecare status means just that. The following are the areas of exceptional performance identified by the HCP surveys of our clients and caregivers:

• Work Ethic
• Knowledge of Caregivers
• Confidence Level in Management
• Effective Communication
• Service as Promised
