CMS's CAHPS family caregiver survey results — including a star rating, percentage of caregivers who would definitely recommend the hospice, and percentage rating it 9 or 10 — have not been published for Sunrise Hospice Care Inc. in the data reviewed. This is often the case for hospices with smaller patient counts, and it does not indicate poor quality of care; it simply means CMS has not released enough survey responses to report the measure reliably.
Similarly, CMS's composite process measure score, which is used to compare hospices against the state average, has not been reported for this hospice, so no comparison to the California state average of 93.41 can be made at this time. A related quality figure, the care index score, is listed at 7. Sunrise Hospice Care Inc. serves a service area covering 25 ZIP codes from its San Jose office.
Because this hospice is Medicare-certified, the Medicare hospice benefit covers hospice care for eligible patients whose doctor certifies a terminal prognosis; no additional cost details are provided here. All figures above come from CMS Care Compare data as supplied.

Does choosing hospice mean giving up treatment?
