A patient survey star rating is also not provided in the available data. Similarly, figures for timely initiation of care and improvement in walking ability are not available in the current dataset.
Because CMS ratings and quality measures may be updated periodically, families and caregivers are encouraged to consult the official Medicare Care Compare website for the most current star ratings, patient survey results, and quality measures for North Shore Health before making care decisions. This profile reflects the CMS data vintage supplied for this listing and does not include cost information, as Medicare Care Compare does not publish pricing data for home health agencies.

Prospective clients should verify current ratings directly with CMS Care Compare.
