CMS collects family caregiver experiences through the CAHPS Hospice Survey, and it also publishes a composite process-of-care measure that is compared against the state average. For Astra Hospice Care, CMS has not published a CAHPS star rating, a percentage of caregivers who would definitely recommend the hospice, or a percentage rating the hospice 9-10 in the current data made available. This is common for smaller hospices where patient counts are too low to generate a reliable public score, and it should not be read as a reflection of poor quality. Similarly, CMS has not reported how this hospice's composite process measure compares to the Arizona state average of 94.29, nor has it published a care index score or a rate of visits in the last days of life for this listing.
