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
Mountaineer Homecare home health assessment
Tradeoffs that matter
- 94.3% for medication follow-up is 2.8 percentage points below the dataset midpoint. For an OT, that raises a concrete concern about care coordination, not just a statistical footnote.
- The 55.75 discharge function score is below the 73.13 midpoint. That weakens the case for an agency whose rehabilitation work should translate into functional gains.
- Its 4.55 potentially preventable readmission rate is worse than the 4.07 dataset midpoint because lower is better.
What to compare next
- Compare Mountaineer 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.

Mountaineer Homecare ranks #2,332 of 3,640, below the midpoint of this CMS comparison. Its 3.5-star rating and 96.6% result for patients whose care started on time are genuine positives. Its weakest reported percentage is still 89.7% for patients improving in bed transfers, so the CMS record is comparatively balanced rather than being carried by one exceptional measure.
