CHARLOTTE, N.C. (PRWEB)
December 08, 2020
To help seniors and their families research high quality in-home care options, Caring.com — a leading senior care referral service and the nation’s top site for senior care reviews — today announced its annual list of the best home care agencies. The Caring Stars of 2021 include 504 agencies in 46 states and Puerto Rico, with California, Florida, and Texas as the states with the most winners.
Caring Stars started in 2012 as the first award of its kind in the senior living industry, and expanded to include home care agencies in 2017. Caring Stars is an important go-to guide for consumers, recognizing service excellence at agencies providing home care, home health, hospice or geriatric care management. The Caring Stars badge of honor signals to seniors and their families that the agency has earned high praise in online consumer ratings and reviews.
“With more than a decade of senior care expertise, we know that seniors and their families have a range of questions, concerns, and pressing needs when researching in-home care options,” said Caring.com’s CEO Jim Rosenthal. “Our high-integrity consumer reviews program and the Caring Stars annual guide are among the ways we provide relevant information and empathetic guidance. This important information saves seniors and their families time, relieves feelings of stress, and instills confidence in decision-making, particularly if the need is urgent.”
To be considered for this distinguished list, Caring Stars 2021 agencies meet a rigorous set of criteria, including: having 10 or more reviews, an average rating of 4.5 stars or higher, and 3 or more new reviews within the qualification time frame (at least one of those being a 5-star review and at least one published in 2020), as well as no unresolved negative reviews. All qualifying consumer reviews are fully visible to anyone on the web via the Caring.com listing on which they’re featured. In determining Caring Stars winners, Caring.com also conducts a reviews-integrity audit and takes other quality-assurance measures.
