According to CMS Care Compare data, this hospice's family-caregiver CAHPS survey results — including the overall star rating, percentage of caregivers who would definitely recommend the hospice, and percentage rating it 9 or 10 — have not been published by CMS. This often happens when a hospice has too few surveyed patients for CMS to report reliable figures, and it should not be read as a sign of poor quality.
CMS lists a care index score of 9 for this hospice. The composite process measure score, which shows how consistently a hospice completes recommended care processes, is also not currently reported for this hospice, so a direct comparison to the California state average composite score of 93.41 cannot be made at this time.

All figures above come from CMS Care Compare data. The Medicare hospice benefit covers hospice care for eligible patients when a doctor certifies eligibility; no cost details are provided here.

How long has this hospice been Medicare-certified?

What is the difference between hospice and palliative care?

Does choosing hospice mean giving up treatment?
