Project Details
About the project
The inaugural edition of America’s Best Home Health Agencies 2026 was developed to increase transparency in the industry and to recognize agencies committed to providing outstanding care. The ranking combines quality metrics and patient experience survey results published by CMS with our specialist knowledge and feedback from medical professionals in the industry, as well as relevant accreditations, to form a comprehensive evaluation of U.S. home health agencies.
Home health agencies deliver skilled nursing care, occupational, speech, or physical therapy, and medical social services to older adults and other vulnerable populations in their private environment.
This project focuses on agencies in the 25 states with the highest number of agencies as defined by CMS. Out of the 10,875 home health agencies evaluated, the final rankings recognize the top 300 home health agencies nationwide, ranked based on our scoring model and presented across 25 state-based rankings.
METHODOLOGY
How we work
Learn about our general approach to creating healthcare rankings. Further details about how the ranking was created can be found in the America's Best Home Health Agencies 2026.
01 Concept
For our healthcare projects, we provide comprehensive insights into the quality of healthcare providers and facilities through our rankings. These rankings help patients make informed, data-driven decisions about their medical needs. They also give healthcare facilities a composite benchmark to understand their position relative to their peers. Integrating data from diverse performance indicators and expert knowledge, we deliver rankings that recognize excellence and promote high standards in healthcare.
02 Data Collection
Our team of analysts employs a range of data sources including questionnaires collecting insights from professionals and data submitted directly by hospitals through the Statista PROMS Implementation and Smart Hospitals Maturity surveys. Publicly available data on quality metrics and patient experience are also assessed. In collaboration with a global board of experts, we are continuously advancing our methodologies to compile the most trusted healthcare rankings.
03 Evaluation
Healthcare analysts at Statista Rankings apply advanced scoring models comprising numerous data pillars to ensure robust and reliable results. Evaluation relies largely on diverse quality indicators and survey results, with pillar weightings adjusted per project based on data availability. These tailored models are used to calculate scores for each facility and determine the final rankings.
04 Quality Assurance
As we are committed to quality, every ranking undergoes a thorough verification process to validate the data used and ensure that the top healthcare providers are recognized. Our experienced team of analysts conducts extensive research on a range of healthcare topics and facilities—including hospitals, nursing homes, and doctors—guaranteeing the utmost reliability in Statista's rankings.
