How to read a CMS home health star rating
What the rating does and does not tell you.
The quality-of-patient-care star summarizes a set of CMS patient-care measures as of the last reported data. It is a useful starting point, not a verdict, and a missing rating is not a low one — it usually means CMS lacked enough data to publish a star.
Before choosing, also review each agency’s:
- Measures reported. how complete its public CMS record is
- Selected outcomes. the individual patient-care measures
- Services. whether it offers the care you need
- Ownership / type. the CMS-reported ownership
- Data availability. why any measures are unavailable
- Certification. confirm on Medicare's Care Compare
Each agency links to its full CMS record, and you can put any of them side by side in Home Health Compare. Confirm current details on Medicare’s Care Compare.

Frequently asked questions
How many top CMS-rated home health agencies are in Louisiana?
CMS rates 45 of the 159 rated Medicare-certified home health agencies in Louisiana at 4.5 or 5 stars — its highest tier (about 28%), across 33 cities.
Does a high CMS star rating mean an agency is right for me?
No. The quality-of-patient-care star summarizes past CMS measures, not current care or a fit for individual needs. SeniorCareRating.com does not independently rank or recommend providers. Review each agency's measures, services, and data availability, and confirm on Medicare's Care Compare.
Why the 4.5–5.0 threshold?
CMS home-health stars are fractional (in half-star steps). 4.5 and 5.0 are CMS's two highest values, so this page uses that band as the highest-rated tier. A missing rating is not a low rating — it usually means CMS lacked enough data.
How current is this list?
The ratings reflect the CMS data snapshot refreshed 2026-08-03. CMS updates ratings over time; confirm on Medicare's Care Compare.
