Another 5-Star Rating for VNA Home Health
Recently, VNA Space Coast Home Health received another 5-star rating by Medicare’s ‘Home Health Compare’. The non-profit home health agency also received a five-out-of-five star rating in July 2015. Serving Brevard since 2000, the VNA is a Medicare-certified home health agency that provides nurses; physical, speech, and occupational therapists; home health aides; and in-home telemonitoring throughout Brevard County. A 501C3 non-profit, the home healthcare agency also offers community wellness clinics throughout Brevard like their “Shoo the Flu” vaccination program, and no-cost blood pressure and blood sugar screenings.
Home Health Compare provides the public information about the quality of care provided by “Medicare-certified” home health agencies throughout the nation. Using a 5-star rating system, Home Health Compare rates home health agencies on the process of care measures, and outcome of care measures. With 5 stars equaling the highest rating, Home Health Compare states that “most agencies fall ‘in the middle’ with a rating of 3 to 3.5 stars.”

Rock Paper Simple Opens 'Awesome' New Offices
Growing Melbourne web agency celebrates with event to benefit Save the Indian River Lagoon
Web agency Rock Paper Simple likes to use the adjective "awesome" to describe the results experienced by its clients, but its exponential growth over the last two years is also deserving of the word. 28-year old owner and "Head Honcho" Joshua Adams will host the Awesome Ribbon Cutting by Rock Paper Simple, opening a larger suite of offices for his innovative Melbourne web agency on Thursday, February 11. Known for his marketing-focused websites, Adams will celebrate the growth milestone with a large celebration beginning at 4:30 PM at 1360 Sarno Road, Suite G in Melbourne, 32935.
The business community is invited to network with representatives from the Melbourne, Titusville, Cocoa Beach and Palm Bay Chambers of Commerce, as well as members of B2B Brevard. Attendees can enter the prize drawing for a new iPad, by simply taking a photo of themselves with the RPS "Stay Awesome" sign and then tagging Rock Paper Simple and/or using the hashtag #stayawesome in a social media post. Food will be provided by Downtown Catering and beer and wine by Intracoastal Brewing Company. Guests can help Save the Indian River Lagoon by purchasing tickets to the 50/50 drawing; one half of the proceeds will go to the lucky winner and one half to the 501 (c) (3). The public will also be able to tour the new suite of offices and view several freshly-launched websites. Joshua Adams will be on hand to discuss his self-described "secret sauce" for web design, The Seven Steps to a Marketing-Focused WebsiteSM. For more information on the free event, visit the company Facebook page at www.Facebook.com/RockPaperSimple or call (321) 591-4879.
