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
Acaria Inc home health assessment
Why it stands out
- The 4.5-star rating is above the 3.5-star midpoint of the agencies in this dataset, so the overall care result is meaningfully better than typical.
- Its discharge function score is 87.98, 14.85 points above the dataset midpoint. That is especially relevant to OTs because it reflects functional status at discharge.
- The agency sits in the top 10% of the national CMS-backed comparison, so its stronger measures hold up when combined rather than looking good in isolation.
Tradeoffs that matter
- 88.6% for walking improvement is 0.9 percentage points below the dataset midpoint. For an OT, that raises a concrete concern about mobility outcomes, not just a statistical footnote.
- Its 4.10 potentially preventable readmission rate is worse than the 4.07 dataset midpoint because lower is better.
What to compare next
- Compare Acaria Inc'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.

Acaria Inc ranks #337 of 3,640, placing it among the strongest CMS profiles in this comparison. Its 4.5-star rating and 100% result for patients improving in bed transfers are genuine positives. Its weakest reported percentage is still 88.6% for patients improving in walking or moving, so the CMS record is comparatively balanced rather than being carried by one exceptional measure.
