What to look for

Which numbers matter most when choosing — in plain language

  • The quality-of-patient-care star rating summarizes how well patients recover and stay out of the hospital.
  • Patient-survey ratings reflect real experiences with communication and reliability.
  • Confirm the agency offers the specific services you need (nursing, physical therapy, etc.) — they vary by agency.
