Franciscan Home Care and Hospice Care
Passes Inspection with Flying Colors

July 18, 2002. Meriden, CT

State of Connecticut inspectors rated Franciscan Home Care and Hospice Care "deficiency-free" following their unannounced on-site visit this week. One of the State visitors complimented the home health care agency, saying that it is "extremely rare" in this time of complex regulations to achieve "zero-deficiency" status upon inspection. Sister Suzanne Gross, FSE, Administrator, lauded the nursing and home health aide supervisors as well as the clinical and office staffs for their diligence in maintaining high standards of care.

Franciscan Home Care and Hospice Care has passed inspections in the past with the same rating, but as health care regulations have become increasingly stringent and detailed, it becomes more challenging to be rated 100%.

One of three Catholic home health care agencies in Connecticut, Franciscan Home Care and Hospice Care serves patients in 30 towns with the compassionate spirit of St. Francis and a commitment to respect the inherent dignity of each person.
