About this hospice

According to CMS Care Compare data, Gimag Hospice & Palliative Care serves 14 ZIP codes from its Livermore office. CMS has not published CAHPS family-caregiver survey results — such as a star rating, the percentage of caregivers who would definitely recommend the hospice, or the percentage of caregivers rating the hospice 9-10 — for this provider. This is often the case when a hospice has too few surveyed patients for CMS to report reliable figures, and it should not be read as a sign of poor quality.
CMS also lists a care index score of 7 for this hospice, but the composite process measure showing how consistently core hospice care processes were delivered has not been reported by CMS for this location, so no comparison to the California state average of 93.41 can be made at this time (CMS lists the comparison as 'not reported').
The Medicare hospice benefit covers hospice care for eligible beneficiaries when a doctor certifies eligibility; no cost information is included here. All figures in this profile come from CMS Care Compare data.
