Quality of Patient Care at Bronson at Home

While the quality of patient care star rating provides a summary of agency performance, you may prefer to compare agencies on the individual measures that are related to the types of services you'll need, based on your own condition.

Quality Rating

The star ratings are based on 7 measures of quality that give a general overview of performance. Measures that are included in the star ratings are identified in the results table below.

  • A 4- or 5-star rating means that the agency performed better than other agencies on the 7 measured care practices and outcomes.
  • A 1- or 2-star rating means that the agency's average performance on the 7 measured care practices and outcomes was below the averages of other agencies.
  • Across the country, most agencies fall "in the middle" with 3 or 3½ stars.
