GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., Jan. 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Mary Free Bed at Home is proud to be named among America's Best Home Health Agencies for 2026 by Newsweek and Statista. Ranked fifth in the state of Michigan, and first in West Michigan, this prestigious recognition places Mary Free Bed at Home among the top 300 home health providers nationwide, selected from more than 10,000 agencies across the country.

"We are incredibly proud to receive this recognition from Newsweek," said Trey Kubizna, Vice President of Operations, Mary Free Bed at Home. "This honor is a testament to the compassion and expertise of our entire team. Every day, our care team goes above and beyond to provide the highest standard of care to our patients and we are thrilled to be counted among the best in the country."

Home health agencies play a vital role in the healthcare system, delivering skilled nursing, physical, occupational, and speech therapy, as well as medical social services, to patients in their homes, with the added support of home health aides who assist with personal care and daily living needs.

"This new ranking provides families with a trusted resource for identifying high-quality home health providers at a time when safety, independence, and reliable care matter most," said Alexis Kayser, heath care editor at Newsweek. "The agencies on this list have demonstrated excellence in clinical outcomes, patient experience, and overall service."

The America's Best Home Health Agencies 2026 list, developed by Newsweek in collaboration with Statista, recognizes 300 outstanding agencies nationwide based on four key data sources:

• Quality metrics data for home health agencies published by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS)
• Peer recommendations collected through a national online survey of home health professionals and administrators
• Results from patient experience surveys sourced through Home Health Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (HHCAHPS)
• Accreditation data from The Joint Commission (TJC), Accreditation Commission for Health Care (ACHC), and Community Health Accreditation Partner (CHAP)

Together, these four pillars reflect the highest standards in clinical outcomes, safety, patient satisfaction, and professional reputation.

"This recognition reflects the collaborative efforts of our dedicated team, from clinicians in the field to support staff in our offices," said Kubizna. "Through robust quality review processes, patient experience initiatives, and safety programs, we remain focused on delivering exceptional care in the home. This national honor underscores the professionalism, compassion, and clinical excellence that Mary Free Bed at Home brings to patients and families every day."
