What family caregivers reported

Family caregiver survey rating: The number of cases is too small to report Star Ratings.

Care at admission and in the last days of life

Patient stays with a full assessment at admission (all 7 care processes)68%
California / U.S.93.4% / 96.2%
Patients who got visits from a registered nurse or social worker on at least 2 of their last 3 daysThe number of eligible cases is too small to report.
California / U.S.20.4% / 48.3%

The admission measure counts patient stays in which the hospice completed all applicable care processes at admission: treatment preferences, beliefs and values, pain screening and assessment, shortness-of-breath screening and treatment, and a bowel regimen for patients on opioids. The last-days measure comes from Medicare fee-for-service claims for patients who died in hospice care and counts in-person visits by a registered nurse or medical social worker. It leaves out patients enrolled fewer than 3 days and patients who got continuous home care, respite or inpatient care in their last 3 days. CMS reports each only when at least 20 patient stays are eligible. Admission measure period: October 2024 to September 2025. Last-days measure period: January 2023 to December 2024.

Hospice Care Index

Ametrine Hospice has a Hospice Care Index of 6 out of 10; the national average is 8.8 and the California average is 8.3.

CMS builds the index from ten measures in Medicare claims. A hospice earns one point for each measure that meets CMS's criterion: for measures 2 to 7 the value must be below the 90th percentile of hospices nationally, for measures 8 to 10 above the 10th percentile, and for measure 1 any such care at all. CMS reports the index only for hospices with at least 20 discharges. Period: January 2023 to December 2024.

Measure	This hospice	Percentile rank	U.S. rate
1. Continuous home care or general inpatient care provided (% of service days; a point is earned for any such care)	0.0	52	0.5
2. Gaps of more than 7 days between nursing visits (% of hospice elections of 30 days or more; a point is earned unless the value is among the highest 10% of hospices nationally)	95.3	98	52.4
3. Early live discharges (% of live discharges; a point is earned unless the value is among the highest 10% of hospices nationally)	7.0	55	7.3
4. Late live discharges (% of live discharges; a point is earned unless the value is among the highest 10% of hospices nationally)	53.5	87	37.4
5. Burdensome transitions, type 1 (% of live discharges; a point is earned unless the value is among the highest 10% of hospices nationally)	2.3	24	8.5
6. Burdensome transitions, type 2 (% of live discharges; a point is earned unless the value is among the highest 10% of hospices nationally)	2.3	67	2.1
7. Medicare spending per patient (U.S. dollars; a point is earned unless the value is among the highest 10% of hospices nationally)	$51,030	100	$19,227
8. Skilled nursing minutes per routine home care day (minutes; a point is earned unless the value is among the lowest 10% of hospices nationally)	11.2	38	19.9
9. Skilled nursing minutes on weekends (% of skilled nursing minutes; a point is earned unless the value is among the lowest 10% of hospices nationally)	18.5	93	9.6
10. Visits near death (% of patients who died; a point is earned unless the value is among the lowest 10% of hospices nationally)	62.5	5	89.3

The percentile rank is published by CMS: the percentage of hospices nationally with a lower value on that measure. The U.S. rate pools all hospices' cases; a hospice earns or misses a point by its percentile rank among hospices, not by being above or below the U.S. rate.
