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
St Joseph Homecare home health assessment
Why it stands out
- Its discharge function score is 76.52, 3.39 points above the dataset midpoint. That is especially relevant to OTs because it reflects functional status at discharge.
Tradeoffs that matter
- 81.4% for walking improvement is 8.1 percentage points below the dataset midpoint. For an OT, that raises a concrete concern about mobility outcomes, not just a statistical footnote.
- Its 4.57 potentially preventable readmission rate is worse than the 4.07 dataset midpoint because lower is better.
What to compare next
- Compare St Joseph Homecare'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.

St Joseph Homecare ranks #2,610 of 3,640, below the midpoint of this CMS comparison. Its 3.0-star rating and 99.1% result for patients whose care started on time are genuine positives. The record is uneven, though: 81.4% for walking improvement trails the national middle of this dataset by 8.1 percentage points, pointing to a possible weakness in mobility outcomes.
