Serenity Hospice and Home, a five-star-rated non-profit hospice and palliative care organization, has earned accreditation from the Joint Commission, an independent, evidence-based standards-setting organization that sets the benchmark for safe, high-quality patient care through healthcare accreditation. This accomplishment formally recognizes Serenity’s ongoing commitment to meeting rigorous performance standards and delivering the safest, highest-quality care to its patients.

Serenity underwent a rigorous, unannounced onsite survey the week of September 15, 2025. During the visit, Joint Commission surveyors assessed compliance across key areas, including the environment of care, infection prevention and control, leadership, medication management, performance improvement, and other relevant areas.

Joint Commission surveyors conducted on-site observations and interviews to identify performance strengths and opportunities for continued improvement. With decades of expertise and a data-driven accreditation process, The Joint Commission helps ensure that healthcare organizations adhere to leading quality and safety practices, fostering a culture of continuous improvement and a commitment to better patient care.

“Joint Commission congratulates Serenity for achieving accreditation by demonstrating its focus on delivering safe and effective care of the highest quality and value,” says Ken Grubbs, DNP, MBA, RN, executive vice president of Accreditation and Certification Operations and chief nursing officer, Joint Commission. “Through the accreditation process, we worked closely with Serenity to enable and affirm the highest standards of healthcare quality and patient safety. Together, we are elevating care for all patients, and we appreciate Serenity’s collaboration throughout this process.”
