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
Chi Health at Home - Grand Island home health assessment
Why it stands out
- The 4.0-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 78.78, 5.65 points above the dataset midpoint. That is especially relevant to OTs because it reflects functional status at discharge.
- The agency sits in the top 30% of the national CMS-backed comparison, so its stronger measures hold up when combined rather than looking good in isolation.
Tradeoffs that matter
- 95.7% for timely start of care is 3.3 percentage points below the dataset midpoint. For an OT, that raises a concrete concern about intake capacity and scheduling reliability, not just a statistical footnote.
- Its 4.18 potentially preventable readmission rate is worse than the 4.07 dataset midpoint because lower is better.
What to compare next
- Compare Chi Health at Home - Grand Island'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.

Its 4.0-star rating and 98.6% result for medication issues receiving timely follow-up are genuine positives. Its weakest reported percentage is still 93.5% for patients improving in bathing, so the CMS record is comparatively balanced rather than being carried by one exceptional measure.
