### What this hospice quality record is — and is NOT

**INTERPRETATION.** This page presents CMS Hospice Provider Data for AVEANNA HOSPICE OF PELL CITY — HVLDL, Hospice Care Index, process measures, and CAHPS family survey results. It informs and compares; it does NOT rate, rank, or recommend AVEANNA HOSPICE OF PELL CITY for an individual's situation. The CAHPS figures are case-mix & mode adjusted (comparable across hospices); the HVLDL and process figures are not adjusted and measure what was done/documented. Talk with the hospice and your doctor; verify at https://www.medicare.gov/care-compare/ (CCN 011617).

Falsifier: occurred=FALSE (a framing, not an event) and adjudged=FALSE (an in-house reading, not an authority's verdict) — the LOWEST-warrant claim here. A flat representation would render this identically to the official facts; the four-status does not.
