The 5-star rating system allows patients and caregivers to easily compare home health agencies in their area. According to CMS, it is the national standard for collecting information on patient experiences that enable valid comparisons among all home health agencies. Star ratings range from 1 to 5 and demonstrate how a home health agency stands up to other home health agencies.

The state and national average for home health agencies is 3.5 stars. An agency is performing better than average compared to other agencies if it receives a star rating higher than 3.5. A star rating lower than 3.5 means that an agency’s performance was below average. While the majority of home health agencies in the nation are in the 3-3.5 star category.

Quality of patient care ratings judged on seven  performance measures, are determined from patient data collected by CMS. Patient satisfaction ratings are based on patient experience with: overall care, communication between provider and patient care, provider professionalism and future recommendations.
