CMS surveys family caregivers of hospice patients through the CAHPS Hospice Survey to learn about their experience, and it also publishes a composite process measure comparing hospices to their state average. For this hospice, CMS's Care Compare data does not currently show a published CAHPS star rating, percentage of caregivers who would definitely recommend the hospice, or percentage who rated the hospice 9 or 10. This is common for smaller or newer hospices, often because too few surveys were completed to report results reliably — it does not indicate poor quality. Likewise, CMS has not published a composite process score for this hospice to compare against the Texas state average of 94.72, and no care index or visits-in-last-days-of-life figures are available in the data provided.
According to CMS data, this hospice's service area currently spans 1 ZIP code from its Richmond, Texas office. Families should confirm current coverage directly with the hospice.
