CommonSpirit Health at Home Agencies Earn "Best Home Health" Distinction from U.S. News & World Report

Loveland, OH - April 9, 2026 - U.S. News & World Report, the global authority in health care rankings and consumer advice, released its first-ever ratings for Best Home Health. Data on care quality measures, including timely initiation of care and outcomes such as potentially preventable hospitalizations, were combined with patient experience surveys to produce the ratings.

The ratings and underlying data for each agency, published on USNews.com, provide consumers with the trusted data and clarity they need to confidently choose, in consultation with their health care providers, the right care for a family member or themselves.

As the demand for post-acute care continues to rise, U.S. News evaluated over 12,000 Medicare-certified home health agencies across the country. The inaugural ratings highlight two key groups of providers that patients and their families should consider when navigating their care options, in consultation with their physicians:

• High Performing: 1,319 agencies earned the Best Home Health distinction for exceeding expectations in care quality and patient experience.
• As Expected: 5,288 agencies met the U.S. News standards for care quality and patient experience.

“For patients recovering from surgery or managing a chronic condition, the quality of care they receive at home can be the difference between a successful recovery and a costly rehospitalization,” said Ben Harder, chief of health analysis and managing editor at U.S. News.

How U.S. News Best Home Health agencies compare to the national average:

• Faster Start Times: Best Home Health agencies began care on time for 99% of patients, beating the national average of 94%. Prompt initiation of care can help patients manage their transition from hospital to home, getting the recovery off to a good start.
• Better Mobility: 93% of patients who received care from top-rated agencies saw an improvement in walking and moving, compared to just 83% nationwide. Recovering mobility that may have been lost during a hospitalization is often an important goal of home health.
• Daily Independence: Home health patients treated by top-rated agencies were also more likely than patients nationwide to get better at getting out of bed, bathing themselves and taking their medicines correctly. Improvement in these activities of daily living are important signs of a patient's recovery.
