South County Health Home Health has been recognized among the best home health agencies in the nation in the inaugural U.S. News & World Report Best Home Health Agencies rankings — earning a “High-Performing” designation for quality and patient outcomes.

• Began care on time for 99% of patients, outperforming the national average of 94%
• Demonstrated stronger patient improvement in mobility and daily independence

The inaugural U.S. News Best Home Health evaluation assessed more than 12,000 Medicare-certified home health agencies across the United States based on clinical quality measures and patient experience data sourced from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, offering patients and families trusted insights into post-acute care options.

Only a select number of agencies in each state earned the High Performing designation, awarded to providers that exceed expectations for timely care, positive outcomes, and patient satisfaction — pivotal factors for patients transitioning from hospital care to home settings.
