Free · Medicare Care Compare data

Check a home health agency against Medicare's own ratings.

Enter a ZIP and we pull Medicare.gov's quality ratings and outcome measures for Medicare-certified home health agencies near you (how often patients got better at walking, took medications correctly, and started care on time), in plain English.

Honest scope: This checks Medicare-certified home health agencies, the skilled/medical kind (nursing, physical therapy, wound care) Medicare tracks. Many private-pay, non-medical caregiver agencies (the ones that help with bathing, meals, and companionship) aren't Medicare-certified and so aren't in this data. For that kind of help, use our in-home agency vetting checklist instead.

Data: Medicare.gov Care Compare (Home Health) via the CMS Provider Data Catalog (data.cms.gov), keyless public data. We translate the public record; the ratings and figures are Medicare's own. Note: this dataset covers agency quality measures, not the separate patient-experience (HHCAHPS) survey.
