CMS collects feedback from family caregivers through the CAHPS Hospice Survey, but no star rating, percentage recommending the hospice, or percentage rating it 9-10 has been published for Golden State Hospice Care. This is common for smaller hospices with limited patient counts and should not be read as a sign of poor quality — it simply means CMS has not yet published enough survey responses to report these figures publicly.
