Iredell Home Health Receives ACHC Accreditation

Iredell Home Health, a part of Iredell Health System, has once again achieved accreditation through the Accreditation Commission for Health Care (ACHC).

Accreditation is a process through which healthcare organizations demonstrate compliance with national standards. Accreditation by ACHC reflects an organization’s dedication and commitment to meeting standards that facilitate a higher level of performance and patient care.

ACHC is a nonprofit organization that has stood as a symbol of quality and excellence since 1986. ACHC is ISO 9001:2015 certified and has Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) deeming authority for home health, hospice and durable medical equipment, prosthetics/orthotics and supplies.

“I’m so proud of our staff. We had a very successful survey that demonstrated our continued commitment to providing care according to the standards expected by ACHC,” said Lisa Thompson, MSN, RN, Director of Iredell Home Health. “This accreditation reflects the hard work and diligence of our staff as they strive every day to provide excellent care to the patients in their homes and in our community.”

Since 1974, Iredell Home Health has cared for homebound patients as a certified, accredited nonprofit agency. Home healthcare is an excellent alternative to nursing home care or hospitalization, allowing the patient to receive care within the familiar comforts of home. Counties of service include Alexander, Cabarrus, Catawba, Davie, Iredell, Lincoln, Mecklenburg, Rowan, Wilkes and Yadkin. The highly skilled home health team provides care seven days a week.
