CMS Care Compare does not currently publish CAHPS family caregiver survey results (star rating, percent who would definitely recommend, or percent rating the hospice 9-10) for Red Cross Hospice Inc. This is often the case for hospices with smaller patient counts, and it should not be read as a sign of poor quality — it simply means CMS has not yet published or released enough survey responses to report these figures publicly.
CMS lists a care index score of 8 for this hospice. A composite process measure comparison to the California state average (93.41) is also not reported at this time, so no direct comparison can be made using CMS data as it currently stands.
