St Mary Home Health Care, INC

3460 Ocean View Blvd, Suite C, Glendale, CA 91208 · Medicare-certified home health agency

3/5
CMS quality of patient care
3 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.

0% of this agency’s patients breathing improved across about 208 recent Medicare patients, against 91.31% nationally. Medicare rates it better than national rate for patients admitted to a hospital when it might have been prevented.

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.
