Homeland HomeHealth Achieves Five-Star Quality Rating from Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services
Homeland HomeHealth, a service of Homeland Center’s community outreach program Homeland at Home, has earned a five-star quality rating from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), the federal agency that works in partnership with the nation’s healthcare community to improve quality, equity and outcomes in the health care system.
CMS created the Five-Star Quality Rating System to help consumers, their families and caregivers compare Medicare-certified home health agencies and other health care service providers. The system gives each service provider a rating of between one and five stars, five being the highest quality.
Homeland HomeHealth is currently the only home health agency in its region with a full five-star rating.
“Homeland HomeHealth’s five-star quality rating is a testament to our team’s dedication to quality care,” said Director of Homeland HomeHealth Lora Bierce, RN, WCC. “Quality is our number one focus every single day. Our patients count on it. They count on us. We are committed to earning their trust through the individualized care and treatment we provide in the comfort of their own home.”
Homeland HomeHealth’s five-star rating comes on the heels of Homeland Center, Homeland’s Continuing Care Retirement Community in uptown Harrisburg, being named a Best Nursing Home by U.S. News & World Report in its 2025 nursing home ratings.
Homeland Center is the only facility in Dauphin County that U.S. News awarded high-performing ratings for both long-term care and short-term rehabilitation and an overall rating of 5 out of 5. Ratings were determined by nurse staffing, patient outcomes and whether steps known to be effective in avoiding harm and improving health were built into nursing home routines.
Occupying a full block in uptown Harrisburg, Homeland Center is a licensed not-for-profit Continuing Care Retirement Community offering personal care, skilled nursing care, memory care, and short-term rehabilitation. Homeland at Home, a community outreach program of Homeland Center, provides hospice care (compassionate end-of-life care), home health services (in-home physician-ordered medical treatment), home care services (in-home non-medical daily living assistance) and palliative care (comfort and relief from the symptoms and stress of serious illness).
