In its most recent report, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services’ Five-Star Quality Rating System recognized Lifeline Health Care of Fulton with a 5-star rating in both quality and patient satisfaction. According to the data, the Fulton home health provider achieved the highest rating possible in both categories.

The CMS star ratings – issued quarterly – are highly sought after by home health providers and seen as a key differentiator and indicator of overall quality and excellence in the home health industry.

The star rating system was instituted by CMS as part of its Home Health Compare website to provide a “tool for consumers to use when choosing a home health care provider.” The system ranks providers in two categories: Quality of Patient Care and Patient Satisfaction.

The staff of Lifeline Health Care serve the residents of Fulton and the area with healthcare at their home.
