# Home-health agencies in Maine

All **19** Medicare-certified agencies (19 CMS-rated). Home health is about recovery — will the agency get your parent walking, breathing, and managing on their own again after a hospital stay.

## How to choose, in two steps

1. **Use the CMS quality star to find the strong agencies.** It is risk-adjusted and only assigned to agencies with enough patients to judge fairly — the trustworthy ranking.
2. **Then read the recovery rate that matches your situation:** a fall / joint surgery → *mobility*; a heart or lung condition → *breathing*; a complex medication regimen → *meds*; general post-hospital recovery → *self-care*.

Read the rates as a signal, not a verdict: they are risk-adjusted, but a single rate can swing for a smaller agency, and this public data has no patient-count. The star already accounts for volume. National medians for reference: mobility 87.47%, breathing 90.46%, meds 86.3%, self-care 90.07%.
