Compare Providers
Two or three providers side by side, across the public record: licensing, ratings, inspections, penalties, staffing, ownership, and what care costs locally. Where no agency publishes a figure for a kind of provider, the cell says so rather than sitting empty next to a number and reading like a low score.
Home Instead vs. HomeWell Care Services
Care types
What each provider is licensed or certified to deliver. Different care types answer to different regulators, which is why the rows below are not always comparable.

In-Home Care
Licensed capacity
Beds or units on the license. A capacity, not an occupancy.
Not a like-for-like comparison. We hold no licensed capacity for either of these providers, and cannot yet say whether that means there is nothing to report or a file we have not read. Nothing here should be read as a difference between them.
Home Instead
Not establishedThe roster we read for this provider does not carry a licensed capacity. Not every state publishes one.

Published rating
Whatever the publishing regulator published, on the scale the regulator used. Nothing here is rescaled to five stars.
Not a like-for-like comparison. No public system publishes published rating for either of these providers, so there is nothing to compare here for either one.
Home Instead
Not comparableUtah does not publish quality ratings for home care agencies, so no agency in this state has one. Star ratings for care at home come from CMS and cover Medicare-certified home health agencies, which hold a different license.

Inspection citations
How many citations are on record, and how recent the newest one is.
Not a like-for-like comparison. We hold no inspection citations for either of these providers, and cannot yet say whether that means there is nothing to report or a file we have not read. Nothing here should be read as a difference between them.
Home Instead
Not establishedNo inspection records are in our data yet. That can mean a clean record, or that this provider's inspection history has not been ingested. Verify directly with the state licensing agency above before assuming either.

Nurse staffing hours
Payroll-based nurse hours per resident per day, against the median for the same state.
Not a like-for-like comparison. No public system publishes nurse staffing hours for either of these providers, so there is nothing to compare here for either one.
Home Instead
Not comparableStaffing hours are published for nursing homes and for no other kind of provider. Federal law requires Medicare- and Medicaid-certified nursing homes to file payroll-based nurse hours with CMS every quarter, and no agency collects the same return from home care agencies.

Ownership and chain
Who owns the provider, and who runs it when those are different companies.

Reading the blanks
A blank cell on this page is never just missing. It is one of three claims, and they mean very different things.
- None on record.
- We hold the whole published file for this measure and this provider is not in it. A real zero, and a finding in its own right.
- Not comparable.
- No agency publishes this measure for this kind of provider, so no provider of its kind has one. Shown hatched, because it is not a score at all.
- Not established.
- We cannot yet say whether the silence means a clean record or a file we have not read. We would rather tell you that than guess.
