All figures above come from CMS's Care Compare hospice data set. Where a measure is not listed here, CMS has not published it for this hospice, which is often the result of a small number of surveyed patients rather than any indication of quality. The Medicare hospice benefit covers hospice care for eligible beneficiaries; no cost information is provided here. This profile does not describe staffing, facilities, or specific services, as that information is not part of the CMS data set used to build it. Families should contact the hospice directly or consult Medicare Care Compare for further details.
