Hospice Agencies in Iowa
70 hospice agencies in Iowa — 68 independently graded on public safety, staffing and enforcement records, 2 listed with limited data. No facility pays for placement.
How these grades work. Every grade is computed from a fixed public rubric — safety inspections, staffing, clinical outcomes, enforcement actions and financial stability — using government data. No facility can pay to change its grade or placement. Providers with under 30% rubric coverage are shown as "Listed" with no letter grade rather than pretending thin data is comparable.
