Safe Care Home Health INC

815 S Central Ave Suite 1a, Glendale, CA 91204 · Medicare-certified home health agency

1.5/5
CMS quality of patient care
1.5 of 5

This star is built from outcome measures across the agency’s recent Medicare patients and lags real conditions by a year or more. CMS does not publish the patient count behind it here, so a small agency’s star can rest on a thin sample. Treat it as one signal, not a verdict — the measure-by-measure record is on Care Compare below.

33.98% of this agency’s patients got better at bathing across about 115 recent Medicare patients, against 90.63% nationally. Medicare rates it better than national rate for patients who went back to living in the community after their care.

These come from the OASIS assessments the agency itself submits to Medicare, so they are self-reported and lag by a year or more. “Better” and “worse” here mean this provider differs from the national figure by more than 10% of it and by more than half a percentage point; anything closer reads “about the same”. That second test matters on the rare-event rows — a national rate of 0.2% would otherwise make almost any provider look remarkable. CMS does not publish a significance test for these measures, so where fewer than 100 patients sit behind a rate — or where the national rate is low enough that a handful of events would swing it — we print both numbers and decline to grade, rather than call a named provider worse than average on the strength of three patients.

These three are risk-adjusted by CMS for how sick each agency’s patients were, which the table above is not — so they are the fairer comparison between agencies serving different populations. The verdict in the last column is Medicare’s own, published with the rate; we have not recalculated it.

What this rating measures

Medicare rates home-health agencies on a quality of patient care star — based on how much patients improve (walking, getting in and out of bed, managing medications) and how often care follows recommended practices.
