We’ve Earned Highest Medicare Ranking in the County!

We’re pleased to announce that we’ve earned four stars – the highest of any hospice in the county – in the new Medicare Star Ratings that were just released September 1. Medicare derives this score based on eight quality measures using data over the last two years.

This ranking on Medicare’s five-star scale was calculated from a range of topics in which families were surveyed, including treating the patient with respect, communication with families, getting timely help, emotional & spiritual support and others.

Our rankings in these vital service areas exceeded the California state average in every category!

“Silverado’s philosophy revolves around treating patients and families with the utmost respect and providing care that addresses each individual’s physical and spiritual needs,” commented Administrator Doug Rakow. He added “this individualized approach to care is something that each member of our team holds near and dear to their heart.”
