How we calculated this
We count the agencies in the CMS Home Health Care Agencies file by state and average the two star ratings CMS publishes: the Quality of Patient Care star rating and the Patient Survey (HHCAHPS) summary star rating, each only over agencies that have one.
Data sources and dates
- Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), Home Health: “Home Health Care Agencies”, updated September 21, 2026.
Limits of the data
New and small agencies often have no rating. Averaging whole stars is our simple summary, not a CMS statistic. Agencies serve limited areas: a count for a state does not tell you who serves your address.
Every figure is a count, sum or average of values in the official files above; none is estimated. Read the about page for how this site works and data freshness for when each source was last refreshed.
