Quality of Care Rating

This measures what percentage of care days required intensive hospice services (like continuous bedside care or inpatient care). Lower percentages are better because it means patients had their symptoms well-managed with regular home care, rather than needing costly emergency interventions.

Worse

CHC/GIP Days

Percentage of days with intensive care services

1.2%

State Avg:0.5%

National Avg:0.5%

This tracks gaps between skilled nursing visits for patients receiving routine home care. Lower numbers are better because it means patients received consistent, regular nursing care without long periods between visits that could leave medical needs unaddressed.

Worse

Nursing Visits

Consistency of skilled nursing visits

100.0%

State Avg:63.1%

National Avg:53.8%

This measures patients who were discharged from hospice care within 7 days of admission while still alive. Lower rates are better because early discharges may indicate patients weren't properly assessed for hospice eligibility or didn't receive adequate support during their initial adjustment period.

Better

Early Discharges

Avoiding premature live discharges

0.0%

State Avg:7.1%

National Avg:7.0%

This tracks patients who were discharged from hospice after 180+ days while still alive. Lower rates are better because very long stays followed by discharge may suggest the patient wasn't appropriate for hospice initially, or their condition improved but discharge was delayed.

Worse

Late Discharges

Appropriate timing of live discharges

59.6%

State Avg:40.6%

National Avg:40.1%

This measures disruptive care transitions, specifically unplanned hospitalizations that result in the patient being discharged from hospice. Lower rates are better because these transitions can be traumatic for patients and families, and may indicate inadequate symptom management at home.

Better

Transitions Type 1

Minimizing disruptive care transitions

0.0%

State Avg:11.5%

National Avg:8.1%

This tracks another type of disruptive transition - emergency department visits or hospitalizations during hospice care. Lower rates are better because hospice should be able to manage most symptoms and crises at home or in hospice facilities, avoiding stressful hospital visits.

Better

Transitions Type 2

Minimizing unnecessary hospitalizations

0.0%

State Avg:2.3%

National Avg:2.1%

This measures the average minutes of skilled nursing care provided per routine home care day. Higher numbers are better because more nursing time typically means better symptom management, medication oversight, and family support - all crucial for quality hospice care.

Worse

Skilled Nursing

Minutes of skilled nursing per routine home care day

0 min

State Avg:10.5 min

National Avg:17.0 min

This measures whether patients received nursing or social work visits in their final 2 days of life. Higher percentages are better because increased support during the dying process helps ensure comfort, dignity, and emotional support for both patient and family during this critical time.

Worse

Visits Near Death

Percentage of patients with visits in final days

0.0%

State Avg:87.8%

National Avg:89.1%

This measures the total amount Medicare spent per hospice patient at this facility. Lower spending is better because it indicates the hospice is providing efficient, cost-effective care without unnecessary expenses. However, very low spending could also mean fewer services, so this should be considered alongside other quality measures.
