CMS collects feedback from family caregivers through the CAHPS Hospice Survey, but Pinnacle Hospice does not currently have a published CAHPS star rating, percentage of caregivers who would definitely recommend the hospice, or percentage rating it 9-10, in the CMS data provided. This is common for hospices with smaller patient counts, and it should not be read as a sign of poor quality — it simply means CMS has not published these figures for this provider.
Similarly, CMS's composite process measure score, which compares specific care processes to the Texas state average of 94.72, is listed as "not reported" for Pinnacle Hospice in this data set. A care index score of 5 is included in the CMS data, though the underlying measures behind that figure are not detailed here.
