"Understanding quality ratings is the single most important step families can take when choosing a home health agency."
Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services

CMS calculates quality star ratings based on nine outcome measures from the Outcome and Assessment Information Set (OASIS). These measures include how quickly care begins after a referral, how much patients improve in walking, bathing, bed transfers, and breathing, how well medications are managed, and rates of skin integrity issues, falls with major injury, and unplanned hospitalizations.

Of the 1,116 Medicare-certified home health agencies in Florida, 738 have received quality star ratings. The statewide average rating is 3.50 stars. When comparing agencies, look for consistent 4-star or 5-star ratings as an indicator of above-average patient outcomes. You can compare up to three agencies side by side using our Agency Comparison Builder.

Whether recovering from surgery, managing a chronic condition like diabetes or heart failure, or needing physical therapy after a fall, Medicare-certified home health agencies provide the clinical support seniors need while letting them stay where they feel most comfortable.

Our directory helps families compare agencies based on CMS quality star ratings, services offered, and patient outcomes. Every listing includes direct phone numbers so you can contact agencies to ask about availability, insurance acceptance, and the specific services your loved one needs.

Common Questions

Frequently asked questions

A Medicare-certified home health agency is a healthcare provider that has met federal quality and safety standards set by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). These agencies are authorized to provide skilled nursing, therapy, and aide services in patients' homes and can bill Medicare directly for covered services. In Florida, there are 1,116 Medicare-certified home health agencies.
To qualify for Medicare home health care, you must meet four criteria: (1) you have Medicare Part A or Part B, (2) a doctor certifies that you are homebound, meaning leaving home requires considerable effort, (3) you need intermittent skilled care such as nursing, physical therapy, occupational therapy, or speech therapy, and (4) you receive care from a Medicare-certified agency. Your doctor must establish and regularly review your plan of care.
Medicare-certified home health agencies in Florida can provide six types of services: skilled nursing care (provided by registered nurses), physical therapy (for mobility and strength), occupational therapy (for daily living activities), speech-language pathology (for communication and swallowing), medical social services (for insurance and community resource navigation), and home health aide services (for personal care like bathing and grooming). The services you receive depend on your doctor's orders.
CMS rates home health agencies on a 1 to 5 star scale based on quality of patient care measures. These measures include how quickly care begins after a referral, how much patients improve in walking, bathing, and bed transfers, how well medications are managed, and rates of hospitalization and emergency visits. In Florida, 738 of 1,116 agencies have received quality star ratings, with an average rating of 3.50 stars. You can compare ratings using our Agency Comparison Builder.
In Florida, home health aide services typically cost $27–$33 per hour, or $4,752–$7,920 per month for full-time care. Skilled nursing visits range from $150–$250 per visit, and physical therapy visits cost $140–$220 per visit. For Medicare-eligible patients, most home health services are covered at no out-of-pocket cost. Use our Cost Estimator for personalized estimates based on your care needs and payment type.
Patient availability changes frequently, so the best way to confirm is to call the agency directly. Every listing in our directory includes a click-to-call phone number. When you contact an agency, ask about current availability, the services they can provide for your situation, and whether they accept your insurance. Most agencies can begin care within 24 to 48 hours of receiving a physician's referral.
