Hospice quality measures — what this page can and cannot show

Unlike nursing homes or home health, the CMS Hospice General Information file that backs this page does notcarry star ratings or quality scores. Hospice quality is reported in the separate CAHPS Hospice Survey dataset, and CMS suppressed publicly reported hospice quality measures during the documented May 2026 → February 2028 transition to the new HOPE assessment.

Rather than fabricate a rating, Fonteum renders the fields that genuinely exist for every Washington hospice: CMS-certified identity, ownership type, CMS region, and Medicare certification date. When the HOPE-based measures publish, they will land here traced to their source.
