A Standard of Care You Can Trust
We are committed to delivering exceptional care, reflecting the highest standards of excellence for our patients and families.
Nationally Recognized for Outstanding Care
At Harbor Hospice, we are honored to provide the exceptional care that families trust during life’s most difficult moments. Our commitment to compassion and excellence is reflected in our patient and family satisfaction ratings, national recognition, and Joint Commission accreditation—the gold standard in healthcare quality.
What is The Joint Commission?
The Joint Commission is a nonprofit organization that accredits healthcare providers, ensuring the highest standards in patient care, safety, and service.
- Accreditation is voluntary but required by many states for licensing and Medicaid reimbursement.
- Organizations must meet strict performance standards in areas like patient care, medication safety, and infection control.
- On-site surveys occur every three years to maintain accreditation.
- The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) recognizes Joint Commission surveys as a key measure of healthcare quality.
At Harbor Hospice, our accreditation reflects our commitment to excellence, patient safety, and compassionate care.
