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.
76.08% of this agency’s patients got better at taking their medicines correctly by mouth across about 1,916 recent Medicare patients, against 88.07% nationally. Medicare rates it better than national rate for patients who went back to living in the community after their care. 82% of the 562 families surveyed said they would definitely recommend it.
How this agency’s patients did
| Measure | This agency | National | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Started care in a timely manner 2,885 patients | 95.39% | 96.51% | about the same |
| Got better at walking or moving around 1,932 patients | 77.81% | 88.6% | worse |
| Got better at getting in and out of bed 1,930 patients | 83.62% | 89.71% | about the same |
| Got better at bathing 1,932 patients | 82.18% | 90.63% | about the same |
| Breathing improved 1,820 patients | 84.3% | 91.31% | about the same |
| Got better at taking their medicines correctly by mouth 1,916 patients | 76.08% | 88.07% | worse |
| Medication problems acted on promptly by a doctor 2,886 patients | 88.12% | 94.45% | about the same |
| Discharge function score 1,933 patients | 66.53% | 71.74% | about the same |
| Checked whether the patient had a flu shot 1,845 patients | 77.78% | 64.24% | better |
| Developed or worsened a pressure sore 2,048 patients | 0.21% | 0.23% | too few patients to compare |
| Had a fall causing major injury 2,715 patients | 0.41% | 0.93% | better |
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.
Hospital stays and getting home
| Measure | This agency | National | Medicare’s call |
|---|---|---|---|
| Patients who went back to living in the community after their care Higher is better. 2,457 patients | 87.23% | 77.71% | Better Than National Rate |
| Patients readmitted to a hospital when it might have been prevented Lower is better. 2,077 patients | 3.56% | 4.12% | Same As National Rate |
| Patients admitted to a hospital when it might have been prevented Lower is better. 1,212 patients | 13.65% | 10.83% | Worse Than National Rate |
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.
