Sta-Home Health & Hospice

Jackson, Mississippi, US • 500 - 999 Employees
Hospital/Clinic

Sta-Home was born out of compassion, from the heart of Joyce Caracci, a nurse whose vision was to bring expert medical care into the home. Joyce's nursing career led her through hospitals, then nursing homes, and even to employment with the Mississippi State Board of Health. Through it all, she was struck by the number of sick or elderly Mississippians who needed medical assistance at home, whether they were recovering from surgeries or simply managing daily life with disability or illness. Their need became her cause. And it remains our cause today. Joyce Caracci's vision became a reality in 1976. In that year, she and her husband, Vic, founded Sta-home Health Agency. A sister company, Sta-home Hospice, was formed in 1992 and eventually merged with Sta-home Health Agency to form Sta-home Health & Hospice. Today we are simply known as Sta-Home. Through the years, the company's leadership transitioned to the next generation of the Caracci family. In 2014, Sta-Home formed an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP), and the Caracci family transferred 100% of the company stock to Sta-Home employees. Today, Sta-Home has nearly 1,000 proud employee owners, serving thousands of Mississippians every day.
