    How we rank agencies

    The same simple rule on every page, for every agency.

    Full methodology
    1. Every agency is listed

      We include every Medicare-certified home health agency in the CMS Care Compare dataset outside Florida (until January 1, 2027), whether or not it has ever heard of us.

    2. Sorted by CMS quality stars

      Highest CMS quality-of-patient-care rating first, ties alphabetical, unrated agencies last. No rating is not a bad rating.

    3. Nobody pays to move up

      No agency pays to be listed or ranked. Our owner's agency, Aspen Home Health, gets no special treatment.

Medicare Part A and Part B cover part-time or intermittent skilled home health care for homebound people, and you pay nothing for covered services.Read the guide →What does "homebound" mean for Medicare home health?Medicare's two-part homebound test: you need help or a device to leave home (or leaving is not advised), and you normally can't leave home and leaving takes a considerable and taxing effort.Read the guide →Home health vs. home care: what's the difference?Home health is skilled medical care (nursing, therapy) ordered by a doctor and often covered by Medicare. Home care is non-medical help with daily living, which Medicare doesn't pay for when it's the only care you need.Read the guide →How to choose a home health agencyStart with agencies that serve your area, compare CMS star ratings and quality measures on Care Compare, confirm they offer the services in your care plan, and ask direct questions before you decide.Read the guide →How to pay for home careMedicare doesn't pay for ongoing non-medical home care. Most families pay privately, and long-term care insurance, VA Aid and Attendance and Medicaid waivers can help people who qualify.Read the guide →Home care vs. assisted livingHome care brings a caregiver to your parent's home by the hour; assisted living is a licensed community with 24-hour staff.
