This star comes only from bereaved families who returned a survey — it measures communication and support, not clinical quality, and it lags by a year or more. CMS does not publish the number of completed surveys here, so a smaller hospice’s star can rest on a thin sample. Treat it as one signal, not a verdict.
This hospice cared for an average of 48 patients a day. 71% of its care was delivered in a private home. Its Hospice Care Index score is 10 out of 10, against 8.8 nationally. 87% of surveyed families said they would definitely recommend it.

The Care Index is ten separate checks on how a hospice actually operates — whether nurses visit near the end, whether patients are discharged alive unusually often, how much care is delivered at weekends. The score is how many of the ten it passes. The percentile says where this hospice sits among all hospices on that row, and for rows where a lower number is better a low percentile is the good end.

What this rating measures
This star reflects the family caregiver survey (CAHPS Hospice) — how families rate the hospice’s communication, timeliness, help with symptoms, and emotional support. Learn more in our guides to hospice vs. palliative care and hospice and end-of-life care — the second explains the four levels of care Medicare covers (including continuous home care during a crisis and inpatient care), which families are routinely never told about.
