CMS Home Health Care Compare · South Dakota
Home-health agencies in South Dakota
All 23 Medicare-certified agencies in South Dakota — 20 rated by CMS — with the recovery outcomes that decide whether your parent gets better at home, not just a star.
How to choose, in two steps
Home health is about recovery — will the agency get your parent walking, breathing, and managing on their own again after a hospital stay. CMS publishes two things: a quality star (its risk-adjusted summary, only given to agencies with enough patients to judge fairly — use it to find the strong agencies) and the specific recovery rates (then read the one that matches your situation). This page puts both in front of you.
CMS-rated agencies in South Dakota (20)
Ordered by CMS quality star (the risk-adjusted, volume-aware spine). Each rate is banded against all U.S. agencies: ▲ top 25% · · typical · ▼ bottom 25% · ⚠ 99%+ (unsized — no patient count, treat as small-sample, not best). Picking a situation above re-ranks agencies within each star tier by that outcome.

Not yet rated by CMS (3)
CMS hasn't assigned these a quality star — usually too new, or too few patients to rate reliably. They may be fine; CMS just can't summarize them yet. Open any to see whatever measures it has reported.
What these figures mean
- MODELED — the quality star is CMS's risk-adjusted, volume-aware composite; the trustworthy way to rank.
- RECORDED — each recovery rate is a CMS-published, risk-adjusted OASIS outcome (the share of patients who improved), banded by national quartile (top 25% / typical / bottom 25%). A rate of 99%+ is flagged unsized, never rewarded, because CMS publishes no patient count to size it.
- NOT HERE — this dataset has no hospital-readmission or ER-visit rate (the other half of the home-health story); check that directly at Care Compare.

What this is — and is not
This is published CMS Home Health Care Compare data — the same facts CMS shows the public, arranged so you can compare. It informs and compares; it does not rate, rank, or recommend an agency for your relative's specific needs, and no rate here is a guarantee. Shortlist a few strong-starred agencies, then ask each how they handle your situation, and confirm at medicare.gov/care-compare.
