According to CMS Care Compare data, family caregiver survey results (CAHPS) — including the overall star rating, the percentage of caregivers who would definitely recommend this hospice, and the percentage rating it 9 or 10 — have not been published for Absolute Hospice Services. CMS often withholds these figures when a hospice has served too few patients to report reliably; this does not indicate poor quality, only that data is unavailable.
Similarly, CMS has not published a composite process measure score for this hospice, so no direct comparison can be made to the Michigan state average composite score of 97.27. Families should not read this absence as a negative signal, but simply as missing published data.

The Medicare hospice benefit covers hospice care for eligible patients, including services related to a terminal illness, when a doctor certifies eligibility; no cost details beyond this are provided here.
