T.J. Regional Health has been named a Best Home Health agency for 2026 by U.S. News & World Report. This recognition comes as part of U.S. News’ first-ever evaluation of home health providers, identifying the top-performing agencies in the United States.
With more than three million patients turning to home health agencies each year, this debut analysis offers a much-needed, independent view of quality. T.J. Regional Home Health earned the “High Performing” designation – the highest level of recognition – for exceeding expectations in care quality and patient experience based on U.S. News’ methodology.
Shara Page, Administrator of Home Care Services at T.J. Regional Health stated, “Being recognized by U.S. News & World Report as a top home health provider is a tremendous honor and reflects the extraordinary dedication of the entire home health team. Our interdisciplinary team of clinicians, caregivers, and support professionals work together to deliver compassionate, person-centered care. We approach every patient as if we were caring for our own loved one while partnering with physicians, caregivers, and community programs to ensure coordinated, high-quality care in the home. For the T.J. home care team, it is a great privilege to help patients heal, regain independence, and experience the comfort and dignity of care at home.”
In the first edition of Best Home Health, U.S. News evaluated more than 12,000 agencies. Just 17% of the agencies U.S. News rated were awarded the Best Home Health designation from U.S. News.
“Earning the Best Home Health distinction is a significant achievement, as it is reserved only for those agencies that satisfy U.S. News’ standards of care quality and patient experience,” said Ben Harder, chief of health analysis and managing editor at U.S. News.
T.J. Home Care Services recently celebrated its 50th Anniversary of providing services to residents of southcentral Kentucky.
