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.

Keystone Hospice vs. Achs Hospice & Palliative Care

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.

Keystone Hospice

Hospice Care

Achs Hospice & Palliative Care

Hospice 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.

Keystone Hospice

Not established

The roster we read for this provider does not carry a licensed capacity. Not every state publishes one.

Achs Hospice & Palliative Care

Not established

The roster we read for this provider does not carry a licensed capacity. Not every state publishes one.

License status

The status word the state registry uses, reproduced exactly. We do not translate or grade it.

Not a like-for-like comparison. We hold no license status 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.

Keystone Hospice

Not established

Idaho's roster carries no status word for this license in the file we read. That is a gap in the file, not a lapsed license.

Achs Hospice & Palliative Care

Not established

Idaho's roster carries no status word for this license in the file we read. That is a gap in the file, not a lapsed license.

Published rating

Whatever the publishing regulator published, on the scale the regulator used. Nothing here is rescaled to five stars.

Fines and payment denials

Enforcement actions on record, with the total fine amount where the source publishes one.

Not a like-for-like comparison. No public system publishes fines and payment denials for either of these providers, so there is nothing to compare here for either one.

Keystone Hospice

Not comparable

CMS publishes its civil money penalty and payment denial file for certified nursing homes only. No hospice appears in it, including this one. Enforcement here runs through the state licensing agency instead.

Achs Hospice & Palliative Care

Not comparable

CMS publishes its civil money penalty and payment denial file for certified nursing homes only. No hospice appears in it, including this one. Enforcement here runs through the state licensing agency instead.

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.

Keystone Hospice

Not comparable

Staffing 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 hospices.

Achs Hospice & Palliative Care

Not comparable

Staffing 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 hospices.

Ownership and chain

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

Not a like-for-like comparison. Both providers have ownership and chain on record, but for at least one of them we cannot confirm we hold the complete file. Read the smaller number as "at least this many" rather than as a total, and the gap between the columns as unknown.

Achs Hospice & Palliative Care

Typical local cost

The published monthly median for this care type in this provider's city. A market figure, never a price quoted by this provider.

Not a like-for-like comparison. We hold no typical local cost 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.

Keystone Hospice

We have not published a monthly median for this care type in Eagle, ID yet.

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.
