Amedisys is a leader in high-quality in-home care. We measure our success by the quality of care we provide and the satisfaction of our patients and families.
HIGH-QUALITY HOME HEALTH
Our Star Ratings reflect our commitment to high-quality home health care. Amedisys leads the home health care industry with an average rating of 4.41 stars out of 5 for quality of patient care.
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) publishes Star Ratings for Medicare-certified home health agencies on its Care Compare website. According to CMS, most home health agencies receive a rating of 3-3.5 stars, which means they are performing at a level similar to most agencies across the country.

More than 110,000 physicians nationwide have chosen Amedisys as a post-acute partner.
HOSPICE QUALITY
Amedisys hospice agencies exceed the national average in all (nine out of nine) Hospice Item Set scores that CMS uses to measure hospice quality. These measures evaluate whether patients receive timely assessments and treatment, screenings for pain and shortness of breath, and other indicators of high-quality hospice care.
