Frequently asked questions

How many home health agencies are in West Des Moines, Iowa?

The current CMS Home Health Care dataset lists 7 agencies in West Des Moines, Iowa. Of these, 4 have a CMS quality-of-patient-care star rating.

What is the average CMS star rating for home health in West Des Moines?

The average CMS quality-of-patient-care star rating across rated agencies in West Des Moines is 3.38 of 5, compared with the Iowa average of 3.05. Averages exclude agencies CMS has not rated, and are calculated by this site rather than published by CMS.

Why do some West Des Moines agencies have no star rating?

CMS only publishes a star when an agency has enough Medicare episodes in the reporting window to compute one reliably. An agency that is small or newly certified may have no star and few or no measures. That is a gap in the public record, not a negative result, and it is never shown as a zero.

How do I verify a home health agency in West Des Moines?

SeniorCareRating.com organizes public CMS data and is not affiliated with CMS. Confirm current details on the official Medicare Care Compare site and with the agency directly.
