What to ask about before you visit
These are findings in the public CMS record for this hospice. They are not our opinion, each one comes straight from the federal hospice quality file or the CMS family caregiver survey.
Flagged by CMS on 4 of 10 care indicators
The Hospice Care Index scores this provider 6 out of 10. Each missing point means CMS placed it in the worst-performing group in the country on that indicator.
Only 18% of patients were visited in their final days
CMS measures how often a registered nurse or social worker visited in the last three days of life. Ask who will come, how quickly, and what happens at night and at the weekend.
What this costs you
If the patient has Medicare Part A and a doctor certifies a life expectancy of six months or less, the Medicare Hospice Benefit pays this provider directly. The family pays nothing for hospice visits, nursing, medicines related to the terminal illness, or equipment. No hospice may charge you for those and none may ask for a deposit. Medicare paid this provider an average of $16,025 per patient over the measurement period. That is what the federal government spent, not what a family pays, we publish it because it is the number the provider is paid on.
