Home Health Compare: quality-of-care data for 12,392+ Medicare-certified agencies — field-provenance-traced to the CMS PDC source dataset.

Quality of patient care star ratings, ownership type, and Medicare certification status for every home health agency in the country, with source chips for every column. CAHPS suppression for fewer than 40 surveys is flagged, not silently omitted.

Headline figure

7,961 agencies carry a CMS-published Quality of Patient Care star rating in the current snapshot (mean 3.25 of 5 stars); the remaining 4,431 (35.8%) have no public rating because they are newly certified or excluded from the measurement window — a transparency gap Fonteum flags explicitly.

55 states + territories with Medicare-certified home health agencies

Every state with enough Medicare-certified home health agencies to report has its own page; the data is also in the snapshot and audit-pack export. The 2026 home-health agency statistics page isolates the national record count and rating-coverage totals from the named May 7 file.

Integrated, with-data, and fresh-observation counts are separate. No platform-wide source-completeness count is published. Completeness is source-specific and must be evaluated against the named source's expected scope. State coverage is a separate jurisdiction measure.

Source authority is record-specific

Use the issuer named on the record.

Fonteum spans federal, state, and global public publishers. A source page or returned record identifies its issuer and dataset where that metadata is available. A platform registry count does not assign every page to one authority or establish loaded, fresh, or complete coverage.

Reproducible by design

Inspect the evidence each published figure actually supplies.

Source and date

Research pages expose the named public file and observation date where those fields are available. Source-file SHA-256 coverage is separate; facts do not currently link deterministically to signatures.

Available derivation

Studies with a retained release and committed derivation link the SQL or method used. Other studies state the evidence and reproduction limits they actually have.

Daily observations

Dated table row-count observations can detect local drift. They do not imply that an upstream publisher released or Fonteum ingested new data that day.
