Community Health Accreditation Partner, Inc., (CHAP) announced today that Pulse Homecare has been awarded CHAP Accreditation under the CHAP Home Health Standards of Excellence.
CHAP Accreditation demonstrates that Pulse Homecare meets the industry’s highest nationally recognized standards.

Simply stated, adherence to CHAP’s standards leads to better quality care.
“By achieving CHAP Accreditation, Pulse Homecare has shown a commitment to excellence,” said Nathan DeGodt, CHAP President & CEO. “We are excited to begin our partnership with Pulse Homecare by offering support in its commitment to providing quality care and continuous improvement.”
Pulse Homecare provides the full scope of Medicare-certified home health services to patients in the Texas Golden Triangle region. With Medicare paying 100% for most of their services, Pulse Homecare sends nurses and therapists to the homes of patients for skilled nursing and rehabilitation. For two decades, Pulse Homecare has provided in-home nursing, physical therapy, speech therapy, occupational therapy, and more – while consistently achieving the highest patient-satisfaction ratings Medicare publishes.
CHAP is an independent, not-for-profit, accrediting body for community-based health care organizations. Created in 1965, CHAP was the first to recognize the need and value for accreditation in community-based care. CHAP is the oldest national, community-based accrediting body with more than 9,000 agencies currently accredited nationwide. Through “deeming authority” granted by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), CHAP has the regulatory authority to survey agencies providing home health, hospice and home medical equipment services, to determine if they meet the Medicare Conditions of Participation and CMS Quality Standards. CHAP’s purpose is to define and advance the highest standards of community-based care.
