CMS has not published CAHPS family-caregiver survey results — such as a star rating, percentage who would definitely recommend the hospice, or percentage rating it 9 or 10 out of 10 — for this hospice. This often happens 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 lists a care index score of 8 for this hospice, but the composite process measure comparison to the Arizona state average (94.29) is listed as "not reported," so no direct comparison can be made at this time.
All figures in this profile come from CMS Care Compare data as most recently published. Families are encouraged to verify current details directly on Care Compare. The Medicare hospice benefit covers hospice care for eligible patients; no cost details beyond that are provided here. This profile does not describe specific staff, facilities, or services, as that information is not part of the CMS dataset used.
