The Visiting Nurse Associations of America (VNAA), a wholly owned subsidiary of ElevatingHOME, is excited to announce our continuing partnership with the Clorox Company to give busy families an easy way to help scare away the flu virus this fall.

Sixteen home-based care providers nationwide will vaccinate over 30,000 children through this year's affiliated events.

The Nurse Workforce Challenge in Home Health
HomeCare Magazine recently published an editorial by Danielle Pierotti, RN, PhD, CENP, Vice President of Quality and Research at ElevatingHOME and VNAA, entitled, “The Nurse Workforce Challenge in Home Health.” The editorial, available here, focuses on the RN workforce and the growing vacancy rates and recruitment challenges home-based care faces today. The HomeCare Magazine piece follows a study commissioned by ElevatingHOME and VNAA and subsequent white paper report examining the state of new graduate RNs in home-based care. The report, “New Graduates in Home-Based Care,” available here, summarizes expert opinions from nurse leaders in home-based care and nurse academics.

We have entered into an agreement with the intent to affiliate with LeadingAge. Our organizations have shared visions, similar missions, and a deep commitment to service.
