Home Care awarded a deficiency-free rating during recent State Survey

April 17th was a day of triumph for the Upland Hills Home Care team. Still mourning the loss of their treasured colleague, Diane Schaaf RN--who died a year ago to the day—the team learned that they earned deficiency-free status after a recent state survey. Deficiency-free is the highest ranking an organization can earn.

The survey results verify that the meticulous practices of Upland Hills Home Care staff are part of their daily commitment to excellence. All Home Care organizations are surveyed on an every 18 months to three year time basis—at unannounced intervals. And since Upland Hills Home Care had just been successfully surveyed 18 months prior a revisit was not expected so soon.

“I’m not surprised. Our home care team is exceptional,” shared Deanna Wilson MSN and Director of Community Care Services at Upland Hills Health. “We have highly-skilled caregivers, who really care about their patients and about each other. That’s the perfect combination for excellent care.”
