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
Bayada Home Health Care, Inc. home health assessment
Why it stands out
- The potentially preventable readmission rate is 0.44 points below the dataset midpoint. Because lower is better, that supports the case that care is translating into safer transitions.
Tradeoffs that matter
- 89.2% for bathing improvement is 2.4 percentage points below the dataset midpoint. For an OT, that raises a concrete concern about self-care outcomes, not just a statistical footnote.
- The 68.05 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 Bayada Home Health Care, 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.

Its weakest reported percentage is still 89.0% for patients improving in walking or moving, so the CMS record is comparatively balanced rather than being carried by one exceptional measure.
