CMS often does not publish these figures when a hospice has too few surveyed patients for a reliable result; this is not an indication of poor quality, simply that the data is unavailable.

How long has this hospice been Medicare-certified?

Does choosing hospice mean giving up treatment?
No. Hospice means shifting the focus of care to comfort, symptom relief, and quality of life rather than curing the underlying illness; patients can still receive medical attention for comfort and can leave hospice if their situation changes.
