Note: Companions and Homemakers, with locations in Enfield, Glastonbury and Farmington, chose not to participate in the list. (1) It is common in home care to have per-diem employees. These are staff who are not FTE but are a critical part of day, weekend and/or evening coverage. They receive all the orientation, precepting and quality expectations of full-time staff. It's especially appealing to nurses with young children who want to work around their family's schedule and don't need benefits, as well as to semi-retired nurses who want to keep providing care but not full time. This metric may not contain uniform comparisons among providers. (2) Includes the former VNA HealthCare and VNA East as well as five branch offices. (3) An additional 57 volunteers. (4) Part of Eastern Connecticut Health Network, which was acquired by California-based Prospect Medical Holdings Inc. in October 2016. (5) Data from 2016 survey. (6) Co-owned by Melissa Roming (Administrator & QI director), Yvette Roming (COO) and Larry Tucker (CFO). —Compiled by Stephanie R. Meagher.
