Frequently asked questions about home health agencies
What is a home health agency?
A home health agency is a Medicare-certified organization that provides skilled nursing and therapy services in a patient's home, typically for people recovering from illness, surgery, or injury.
How are home health agencies rated?
CMS publishes a quality-of-patient-care star rating for home health agencies based on measures such as how often patients get better at walking, moving, and performing daily activities. Ratings come from the public-domain Home Health dataset.
Who qualifies for home health care?
Medicare covers home health care when a doctor certifies that you need intermittent skilled care and you are homebound. Coverage rules can vary, so it is best to confirm eligibility with your doctor and insurer.
What services do home health agencies provide?
Common services include skilled nursing, physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, medical social services, and home health aide assistance. The specific services each agency offers are shown on its profile.
These answers are informational and based on the public-domain CMS Care Compare — Home Health dataset and CMS program rules. They are not medical advice.
How to choose a home health agency
Confirm the agency is Medicare-certified and check its quality-of-patient-care star rating. The rating reflects how often patients improve in areas like walking, moving, and daily activities.
Ask what services the agency actually provides — skilled nursing, physical, occupational, or speech therapy, and home health aide support — and whether those match what your doctor has ordered.
Ask about the care team, how often visits happen, and how the agency coordinates with your doctor. Coverage and eligibility depend on your insurance, so confirm details with your insurer.

Ratings summarize government-reported measures — they don't capture your personal needs. Visit the facility, ask about staffing and services, and use CMS checklists. This profile is informational only and is not a recommendation.
