VNA Care of Worcester has acquired Westborough’s Health Care Staffing, Inc., the nonprofit nursing agency announced midday Monday, along with plans to add long-term caregiver services to its list of provided services, as a result of the merger.
Health Care Staffing, Inc. is a division of Care Solutions, Inc., both of Westborough.
Health Care Staffing was founded by Kim Sieurin, a Worcester nurse, in 1997. As part of the acquisition, Sieurin will join VNA Care as a consultant and help run operations for Health Care Staffing, Inc., according to Monday’s announcement. Staff help provide patients with personal care, companion services and help with things like appointment scheduling, transportation and shopping.
The financial terms of the acquisition were not disclosed.
“It can be hard for our clinicians to discharge a patient with whom they’ve built strong relationships after an episode of care – especially when they know that patient could use additional supports,” said Jane Pike-Benton, chief operating officer and chief clinical officer of VNA Care, in a statement. “We will now be able to improve that necessary continuity of care at home to ensure the best experience and the best outcomes at the lowest costs.”
