| How do we Compare? |
Home health care agencies eligible for Medicare funding are monitored by the agency and measured for the quality of services performed.
Available for public viewing at www.medicare.gov/HHCompare/, these measures provide information about patients’ physical and mental health, and whether their ability to perform basic daily activities is maintained or improved.
Every patient is different and there are several factors to consider before choosing the right agency.
