Agency snapshot
What CMS patient-care data says about this agency
The OT Index profile keeps CMS patient-care quality data visible and separate from employer-fit questions that CMS does not measure, such as OT staffing, mileage policy, visit pay, caseload design, and documentation burden.
Our take
South Peninsula Hospital Hha home health assessment
Why it stands out
- The potentially preventable readmission rate is 0.64 points below the dataset midpoint. Because lower is better, that supports the case that care is translating into safer transitions.
Tradeoffs that matter
- 79.1% for walking improvement is 10.4 percentage points below the dataset midpoint. For an OT, that raises a concrete concern about mobility outcomes, not just a statistical footnote.
- The 61.29 discharge function score is below the 73.13 midpoint. That weakens the case for an agency whose rehabilitation work should translate into functional gains.
What to compare next
- Compare South Peninsula Hospital Hha's weakest CMS measure with nearby agencies first; that is more revealing than comparing star ratings alone.
- Convert any per-visit offer into an effective hourly rate after drive time, cancellations, meetings, and documentation before comparing it with salaried work.
- Put territory size, daily visit expectations, weekend rotation, and documentation support beside the same terms from another branch; those operating details determine whether the clinical quality is sustainable for staff.

South Peninsula Hospital Hha ranks #3,316 of 3,640, below the midpoint of this CMS comparison. Its 2.5-star rating and 99.0% result for patients whose care started on time are genuine positives. The record is uneven, though: 79.1% for walking improvement trails the national middle of this dataset by 10.4 percentage points, pointing to a possible weakness in mobility outcomes.
