CMS collects feedback from family caregivers through the CAHPS Hospice Survey, but CMS has not published a CAHPS star rating, a percentage of caregivers who would definitely recommend the hospice, or a percentage of caregivers rating the hospice 9 or 10, for Appling Hospice Care. This often happens when a hospice has served too few patients in the survey period for CMS to report reliable results, and it should not be read as a sign of poor quality.
Similarly, CMS has not published a composite process measure score, a care index score, or a percentage of visits near the end of life for this hospice, so no comparison to the California state average composite score of 93.41 can be made at this time.
