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.

80.99% of this agency’s patients got better at taking their medicines correctly by mouth across about 979 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. 90% of the 300 families surveyed said they would definitely recommend it.

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.
