Good Neighbor Lives Up to Its Name

The Minnesota Department of Health recently surveyed Good Neighbor Home Health Care and found it in full compliance with federal certifications regulations.

The state Department of Health periodically surveys home health care agencies like Good Neighbor if they want to be federally certified as a Medicaid and Medicare provider. Good Neighbor was one of the few agencies found to be in full compliance by the state during the past several years.

The survey involves a state Department of Health team that visits and interviews a sampling of patients to determine if the level of care is sufficient and the caregiver is qualified and follows proper procedures in caring for the patient. The survey also includes a review of the agency’s personnel files, training requirements and clinical records.

Based in Baxter, Good Neighbor has been serving central Minnesota for over 25 years. It provides a wide range of home health care, including medical care such as skilled and private-duty nursing, and physical and occupational therapy.
