Genesis Hospice Care Receives Five-Star Quality Rating

Genesis HealthCare System’s Hospice Care program has been recognized with a Five-Star Quality Rating from the Centers of Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), the highest possible rating. CMS determines the rating based on three publicly reported sets of data: the Hospice Item Set (HIS), Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers & Systems (CAHPS®) Hospice Survey data and administrative data (Medicare claims).

“As a nonprofit hospice provider, our team is committed to providing the highest quality of compassionate, end-of-life care to our patients and their families,” said Pebbles Kieber, Director of Genesis Cancer, Palliative Medicine and Hospice Services. “The Five-Star Quality Rating from the CMS is a testament to our efforts, and we are honored that our patients’ families recognize the quality of our care.”

Genesis Hospice Care provides services to patients in their homes; in Morrison House, the area’s only inpatient hospice facility; and in nursing facilities during the end stages of a life-limiting illness. Families and caregivers are supported throughout patients’ care, and bereavement services are also available. To learn more about Genesis Hospice Care, visit genesishcs.org/hospice.
