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.
84.01% of this agency’s patients breathing improved across about 66 recent Medicare patients, against 91.31% nationally.
How this agency’s patients did

| Got better at walking or moving around 66 patients | 92.63% | 88.6% | too few patients to compare |
| Got better at getting in and out of bed 66 patients | 84.87% | 89.71% | too few patients to compare |
| Got better at bathing 66 patients | 91.64% | 90.63% | too few patients to compare |

| Medication problems acted on promptly by a doctor 150 patients | 95.33% | 94.45% | about the same |
| Discharge function score 66 patients | 53.03% | 71.74% | too few patients to compare |
| Checked whether the patient had a flu shot 52 patients | 75% | 64.24% | too few patients to compare |
| Developed or worsened a pressure sore 77 patients | 0% | 0.23% | too few patients to compare |
| Had a fall causing major injury 150 patients | 0.67% | 0.93% | too few patients to compare |
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. 249 patients | 77.04% | 77.71% | Same As National Rate |
| Patients readmitted to a hospital when it might have been prevented Lower is better. 167 patients | 4.27% | 4.12% | Same As National Rate |
| Patients admitted to a hospital when it might have been prevented Lower is better. 105 patients | 13.37% | 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.
