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.
100% of this agency’s patients got better at taking their medicines correctly by mouth across about 152 recent Medicare patients, against 88.07% nationally.

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. 86 patients | 81.41% | 77.71% | Same As National Rate |
| Patients readmitted to a hospital when it might have been prevented Lower is better. 20 patients | 4.15% | 4.12% | Same As National Rate |
| Patients admitted to a hospital when it might have been prevented Lower is better. 84 patients | 12.26% | 10.83% | Same As 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.
