Learning at Homeland is interactive, engaging, and focused on what matters most—keeping our residents safe and healthy.

Latashia Simmons, Infection Control specialist at Homeland, recently designed an interactive escape room experience to help staff strengthen their infection prevention skills. Teams worked together to solve challenges related to hand hygiene, proper use of personal protective equipment (PPE), cleaning and disinfecting, and recognizing and responding to potential infection risks.
Congratulations to our winning team, who completed the challenge in just 17 minutes!

Thank you to everyone who participated with such enthusiasm and teamwork—and to Latashia for her creativity and leadership. Innovative learning opportunities like this help ensure our staff remain confident, prepared, and committed to providing the highest level of care.

Trust is more than a promise at Homeland. It’s something you can feel every day in the relationships we build, the care we provide, and the moments we share together.

As Jennifer Murray, Director of Personal Care and HomeCare, reminds us, trust is personal. It’s in the gentle touch, the smiling faces, and the commitment we’ve upheld for almost 160 years. It’s who we are, and who we will always be.

We’re proud to share that Homeland HomeHealth has earned Full Accreditation from CHAP (Community Health Accreditation Partner) following our recent re-accreditation survey.

CHAP is a national, independent organization that evaluates home health providers to ensure they meet high standards for quality, safety, and patient care. After a comprehensive review of our clinical practices, patient experience, and operations, Homeland HomeHealth was found to be in compliance with CHAP’s Standards of Excellence and accredited for a three-year term through April 2029.

During the five-day review, patients and families consistently shared strong praise for the care they receive. After visiting seven patients, the surveyor shared:

“I have heard nothing but positive reviews for Homeland from each of the seven patients and families.”

At Homeland, we focus on hiring people who lead with integrity, empathy, humility, and commitment—and supporting them with leadership that helps them succeed.

Thank you to our dedicated team and to the patients and families who trust us with their care every day.

At Homeland, caring for residents is personal—and for some, it’s a family tradition.

From nursing leadership to finance to caregiving, sisters Mary Ellen Roberts and Barbara Jones-White, along with Barbara’s daughter Abby, each bring their own role and heart to Homeland Center. Together, they reflect what makes Homeland different; attention to the individual, deep teamwork, and a true sense of home.

“We’ve become so technologically savvy that we have forgotten the person,” Mary Ellen shares. “At Homeland, we see them and are hands-on. I can take care of the individual.”

We are grateful for Dr. Fetterhoff’s leadership, generosity, and deep commitment to Homeland’s mission. His support helps ensure that future residents and families continue to experience the care, respect, and sense of community that make Homeland feel like home.
