CMS has not published a star rating for this provider yet. That usually means too few completed surveys to publish one — often a smaller or newer provider — not that quality is average or poor. It is a gap in the data, not a verdict. The full record is on Care Compare below.
Medicare rates it worse than national rate for patients who went back to living in the community after their care.
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. 33 patients | 51.35% | 77.71% | 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.
