About this hospice
Aegis Hospice is a Medicare-certified hospice provider located in Omaha, Nebraska, certified since March 27, 2025. Because this is a relatively new Medicare certification, CMS Care Compare has not yet published several of the quality measures that typically accompany more established hospices, including CAHPS family caregiver survey results (such as star rating, percent who would definitely recommend, and percent rating the hospice 9-10), the composite process measure score, care index score, and visits-in-the-last-days-of-life percentage. This is common for newly certified hospices and often reflects small or not-yet-available patient counts rather than any indication of quality, one way or the other.
What is known from CMS Care Compare data is that Aegis Hospice serves a broad area, covering 26 ZIP codes from its Omaha office. For comparison, the statewide average composite process score in Nebraska is 97.56, though CMS has not yet reported a comparable score for Aegis Hospice specifically.
Ownership type for this hospice has not been specified in the available CMS data. Families considering hospice care should know that the Medicare hospice benefit covers hospice care for eligible patients when a physician certifies that care is appropriate. As more data becomes available on Care Compare, families can check back for updated caregiver survey results and quality measures. All figures above reflect the most recent CMS Care Compare data available.
