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
Uvmhn Home Health and Hospice home health assessment
Why it stands out
- Its discharge function score is 86.58, 13.45 points above the dataset midpoint. That is especially relevant to OTs because it reflects functional status at discharge.
Tradeoffs that matter
- 78.0% for timely start of care is 21.0 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 4.55 potentially preventable readmission rate is worse than the 4.07 dataset midpoint because lower is better.
What to compare next
- Compare Uvmhn Home Health and Hospice'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.

Uvmhn Home Health and Hospice ranks #2,894 of 3,640, below the midpoint of this CMS comparison. Its 3.0-star rating and 94.4% result for medication issues receiving timely follow-up are genuine positives. The record is uneven, though: 78.0% for timely start of care trails the national middle of this dataset by 21.0 percentage points, pointing to a possible weakness in intake capacity and scheduling reliability.
