Not graded

We have not graded this hospice. CMS has published no Hospice Care Index, no family caregiver survey and no record of visits in the last days of life for it, usually because it is new, very small, or served too few patients for measures to be reported. We would rather say we do not know than give it a middling grade it has not earned.
