Not graded

We have not graded this agency. CMS has published no patient survey and no quality measure at all for it, usually because it is new, very small, or served too few patients for anything to be reported. We would rather say we do not know than give it a middling grade it has not earned.

Addus Healthcare, ElderGrade ungraded summary card

This is the card people see when this page is shared or linked, built from the same federal figures shown above.

What to ask about before you visit

These are findings in the public CMS record for this agency. They are not our opinion, each one comes straight from the federal home health quality file or the CMS patient survey.

  • Only 68% of patients would definitely recommend it

    The national median is around 80%.

What this costs you

If a doctor certifies the patient is homebound and needs skilled nursing or therapy, Medicare pays this agency directly and the patient pays nothing for the covered visits. Equipment is billed separately at 20% of the Medicare-approved amount. Home health does not pay for round-the-clock care, meals, or help with bathing and dressing on its own, those are the costs families are most often surprised by. Medicare spends 0.37× the national average per episode of care at this agency. That is what the federal government spends, not what a family pays, and it is not part of our grade.

What patients said

From the HHCAHPS survey, which CMS sends to the agency's own patients after care. These are not online reviews and the agency cannot select who is asked. Percentages are the share who gave the best possible answer. 30% of those asked replied.

Published, and deliberately not graded on

Before weighting anything we checked which direction each CMS measure actually runs, by comparing it against the patient survey across every agency in the country. These did not survive that check. They are here because they are part of the public record, and out of the grade because scoring them would make our letters worse, not better.

Medicare spending per episode
0.37× the national average

A cost measure with no relationship to what patients reported. Left out of the grade.
