CMS Care Compare has not published CAHPS family caregiver survey results for this hospice — a star rating, percentage of caregivers who would definitely recommend it, and percentage rating it 9 or 10 are all currently unavailable. This is often the result of too few surveyed patients to report reliable figures, and it should not be read as a sign of poor quality.
CMS has also not published this hospice's composite process measure score for comparison against the Texas state average of 94.72, so a direct 'vs. state' comparison ('not reported') cannot be made at this time. CMS does report a care index score of 8 and that 57.1% of patients received visits in the last days of life, according to the most recent Care Compare data.
Ims Home Health & Hospice Care serves 18 ZIP codes from its Weslaco office. As with all Medicare-certified hospices, the Medicare hospice benefit covers hospice care for eligible patients once a doctor certifies eligibility; this listing does not include cost figures beyond that fact.
All figures above come from CMS Care Compare data and may be updated periodically by CMS.
