Choose a hospice by what families said
When a doctor recommends hospice, families often get one name. Medicare surveys the families of every hospice's patients. We show those answers — would they recommend it, did help come on time — for all 6,669 certified hospices.

Common questions
Who can get hospice care under Medicare?
Someone with Medicare Part A whose doctor and the hospice medical director certify a terminal illness with a life expectancy of six months or less if the illness runs its normal course, and who chooses comfort care instead of treatment to cure the illness. See Medicare.gov.
Can we choose which hospice to use?
Yes. You can choose any Medicare-certified hospice that serves your area, even if a hospital or doctor suggests a different one. You can also change hospices once during each benefit period.
What is the family survey star rating?
CMS's CAHPS Hospice Survey asks family caregivers about communication, timely help, respect, emotional and spiritual support, help with pain and symptoms, and whether they would recommend the hospice. CMS turns the results into a 1–5 star summary rating for hospices with enough completed surveys.
Why do some hospices have no scores?
CMS only publishes survey results and some quality measures when a hospice has enough patients or completed surveys in the reporting period. New and small hospices often have none yet. A missing score is not a negative finding.
What is the Hospice Care Index?
A CMS score from 0 to 10 built from ten indicators in Medicare claims — such as gaps in nursing visits, whether higher levels of care were provided, and live discharges. A higher score means the hospice met more of the indicators.
Do hospices pay to be listed or ranked?
No. Every certified hospice is listed free and ordered by CMS scores. Hospices can buy a labelled featured spot for a flat monthly fee; it never changes the order and is never priced per referral or patient.
