There is no single “best” home health or hospice agency for every patient in California. The right choice depends heavily on where in California you live, the medical condition, insurance (especially Medicare Advantage networks), staffing availability, and whether you need short-term skilled home health or hospice/end-of-life care.

A good way to compare agencies is to look at:

• CMS (Medicare) quality ratings and patient/family survey results through Medicare Care Compare. CMS uses quality measures and patient survey data; star ratings are only one part of evaluating care.
• Whether the agency is Medicare-certified (for Medicare-covered home health or hospice).
• Response time, nurse availability, communication with family, and experience with the specific diagnosis.

Some California agencies that are frequently considered during searches include:

Home health agencies (skilled nursing, PT/OT, recovery at home)

• HealthFlex Home Health & Hospice — Provides home health and hospice services in parts of Northern California and the Bay Area.
• Adventist Health Home Care Services — Listed among California agencies with high CMS quality ratings in available datasets.
• Healing Touch Home Health Care Inc — Listed among California agencies with high CMS quality ratings in available datasets.
• Select Care Home Health Services Inc — Listed among California agencies with high CMS quality ratings in available datasets.
• Compassionate Care Home Health, Hospice, and In-Home Care — Provides home health and hospice services in Central California.

Hospice agencies (comfort-focused care and family support)

• HealthFlex Home Health & Hospice — Provides hospice and home-based care services in Northern California markets.
• Crossroads| Home Health & Hospice — Offers home health and hospice services, including care coordination programs.
• Solace Healthcare, Inc. - Home Health & Hospice Care — Provides both home health and hospice services in Kern County.
• Hollywood Home Health, Hospice, and Palliative Care Services — Provides home health, hospice, and palliative care services in the Los Angeles area.

Questions to ask before choosing

1. Are you Medicare-certified?
2. What are your CMS quality ratings and patient/family survey results?
3. How quickly can a nurse visit after referral?
4. Is there a nurse available after hours?
5. How do you communicate updates to family members?
6. Do you have experience with this condition (cancer, dementia, stroke, heart failure, wound care, etc.)?
7. Which hospitals, physicians, and Medicare Advantage plans do you work with?

If you tell me the California city or county and whether you need home health (rehab/skilled nursing) or hospice, I can narrow this to agencies that actually serve that area.

If the patient is coming home after a hospital stay, I’d separate the decision into home health versus hospice, because they serve very different purposes.

• Home health is generally for recovery or management of an illness/injury at home—typically skilled nursing and/or PT, OT, speech therapy, etc., when ordered and eligibility requirements are met. Medicare's Care Compare data lets you compare agencies on outcomes such as timely starts of care, improvement in mobility, medication management, and potentially preventable hospitalizations.
• Hospice is for someone with a terminal illness when the focus has shifted toward comfort and quality of life rather than curative treatment. Medicare reports separate hospice quality and caregiver-experience information.

California agencies worth putting on your comparison list

I wouldn't call any agency universally "best" because availability, insurance/network participation, distance from the patient, staffing, and the patient's diagnosis can matter more than a statewide reputation. But these are examples I would investigate:

• 21st Century Home Health Services — Northern California; Medicare-certified and offers nursing, rehabilitation and home-based recovery services.
• HealthFlex Home Health & Hospice — Bay Area/Northern California; provides skilled nursing and PT/OT/speech services and also has hospice capabilities.
• Compassionate Care Home Health, Hospice, and In-Home Care - HQ — Fresno/Central California; offers home health, hospice and non-medical caregiving, which can be useful when a patient's needs evolve.
• Caring Cove Home Health Care, Inc — Southern California; Medicare-certified home health with nursing, rehabilitation and supportive services.
• Aura Home Health — East Bay; Medicare-certified home health serving patients recovering from illness, injury or surgery.
• Sea Coast Hospice Care — San Diego area; hospice-focused care in the home and other residential settings.
• R.C. Hospice Care, Inc — Sacramento/Rancho Cordova area; hospice and palliative-care services.

What I'd ask the discharge planner

For someone leaving a hospital, these questions are often more useful than simply asking for the agency with the highest online rating:

1. Can you start care within 24–48 hours of discharge?
2. Does the agency accept the patient's exact Medicare Advantage/commercial insurance plan?
3. Will an RN visit first, and how quickly?
4. Can they provide PT, OT and/or speech therapy if needed?
5. Who do we call evenings, nights and weekends if the patient's condition changes?
6. How does the agency handle medication reconciliation after discharge?
7. How frequently will the nurse initially visit?
8. If the patient's condition deteriorates, can the agency transition from home health to hospice?
9. What geographic area does the agency actually serve, and are there enough clinicians available in that area?

Medicare's current data are particularly useful here: for example, one California agency's Care Compare record reports 100% timely starts of care and 100% timely completion of physician-recommended medication actions, illustrating the kind of individual measures I'd examine rather than relying solely on a single star rating.

If you tell me the California city/ZIP code, the patient's insurance (Original Medicare vs. Medicare Advantage and the plan name), and whether they need home health or hospice, I can narrow this down to the agencies actually serving that area and compare their current Medicare quality data.

Yes. California has a large number of Medicare-certified home health agencies that provide skilled nursing (SN) and physical therapy (PT) in the patient’s home. Current directories list more than 3,000 Medicare-certified agencies statewide, although not every agency serves every ZIP code.

Here are examples by region:

• Bay Area / East Bay: Health Link Home Health Agency — Walnut Creek; provides skilled nursing and PT and serves Contra Costa County and surrounding communities.
• East Bay: Muir Home Health — Concord; provides skilled nursing, PT and other rehabilitation services.
• Fremont / South Bay: Care In Touch Home Health Agency — provides skilled nursing, PT, OT and other home-health services.
• Los Angeles / San Fernando Valley: Stat home health Inc. — Northridge; skilled nursing, PT, OT and speech therapy.
• Los Angeles: Miracle Home Health Care, Inc — skilled nursing and PT/OT/speech therapy.
• Pasadena: Med Care Plus Home Health — skilled nursing and physical therapy.
• Southern California: Empress Healthcare Inc. is Medicare-certified and serves Los Angeles, Ventura, Orange, Riverside and San Bernardino counties, with both skilled nursing and physical therapy.
• San Diego County: Seaport Home Health — Carlsbad-based agency providing skilled nursing and rehabilitation services.
• Sacramento: AHC Home Health & Hospice of Sacramento — Medicare-certified, with skilled nursing and PT/rehabilitation.
• Central Valley: California Home Health — Fresno; Medicare-certified and provides skilled nursing and physical therapy.
• Modesto: Danny's Home Health Care of Modesto — provides in-home skilled nursing and therapy.

Another example is Physicians Choice Home Health in Torrance, which explicitly lists skilled nursing, physical therapy, occupational therapy and speech therapy.

If you're choosing one

The most important issue is where the patient lives, because an agency may provide SN and PT but not cover the patient's particular ZIP code. Medicare also recommends checking that the agency is Medicare-certified, provides the specific services needed, can accommodate the physician's orders, and explains coverage and out-of-pocket costs.

If you give me the California city or ZIP code, plus the insurance (Medicare, Medi-Cal, Medicare Advantage, or private insurance), I can narrow this to agencies that serve that specific area and provide both skilled nursing and PT.

There isn’t a reliable statewide public ranking of “fastest response after hospital discharge.” CMS does publish a home-health measure for whether care was initiated in a timely manner, but that is not the same as a guaranteed response time or same-day start.

For California, agencies worth calling first—based on publicly available evidence of 24/7 intake/support, transitional-care services, or reports of prompt post-discharge scheduling—include:

• HealthFlex Home Health & Hospice — Bay Area/Peninsula. Its public information specifically describes post-hospital transitions, and reviews mention prompt scheduling after hospital/SNF discharge.
• HealthFlex Home Health & Hospice — San Jose/South Bay. Offers transitional-care support after hospitalization and has 24/7 contact availability.
• Sequoia Home Health & Hospice — Santa Clara County/East Bay. Advertises 24/7 home-health and hospice support.
• Compassionate Care Home Health, Hospice, and In-Home Care — Fresno/Central California. Advertises 24-hour availability and provides both home health and hospice.
• Hollywood Home Health, Hospice, and Palliative Care Services — Los Angeles area. Offers transitional care specifically aimed at moving patients from hospital/SNF back home.
• AMAVI Home Health and Hospice Care Services — East Contra Costa. Specifically describes service for patients returning home after hospitalization and has 24-hour availability listed.
• Solace Healthcare, Inc. — Bakersfield/Kern County. Provides both home health and hospice.

What I'd ask the intake coordinator: “If the hospital sends the referral today, can you confirm acceptance today, and when can the RN make the first visit—today, within 24 hours, or later?” Also ask whether they have weekend admission, whether the patient's insurance is in-network, and whether they have staffing available in the patient's ZIP code.

CMS's current data can also be used to compare agencies on timely initiation of care, quality outcomes, and patient experience; CMS refreshes these data periodically.

If you give me the California ZIP code (or city) and whether you mean home health, hospice, or either, I can narrow this to agencies serving that exact area and compare their documented timely-start performance and current availability.

If by “reliable” you mean strong quality data, Medicare certification, good patient/family experience, and an established local presence, I’d start with agencies that can be verified through Medicare Care Compare, rather than relying on online reviews alone. Medicare’s current data were updated in 2026 and include quality measures and patient/family surveys.

Home health agencies worth investigating

• Miracle Home Health Care, Inc — Los Angeles; 4.7/5 from 398 local reviews.
• Only Care Home Health — Pasadena; 4.9/5 from 85 reviews.
• Top Home Care South Bay — Torrance; 5.0/5 from 25 reviews.
• WAYS Home Care & Health Agency, LLC — Inglewood; 4.7/5 from 42 reviews.
• SoCal Golden Care Home Health — Irwindale; 5.0/5, though based on only 4 reviews.

There are also numerous Southern California agencies with 5-star CMS quality ratings, including agencies in Los Angeles, Orange County, Riverside, San Diego and surrounding areas. A third-party directory aggregating CMS data currently lists, for example, Acacia Hh&P of Southern California in Irvine and 24/7 Care at Home–Home Health in Westminster among agencies with high CMS ratings.

Hospice agencies worth investigating

• Agape Hospice & Palliative Care — Torrance; 4.9/5 from 170 reviews.
• Hospice and Palliative Care of California — Pasadena; 4.8/5 from 36 reviews.
• Lakeside Hospice Care — La Habra; 4.9/5 from 34 reviews.
• Unique Hospice and Palliative Care — Arcadia; 4.9/5 from 19 reviews.
• SoCal Hospice Care Inc — North Hollywood; 5.0/5 from 19 reviews.
• RIVA Hospice of California — Riverside; 5.0/5 from 14 reviews.
• Del Rosa Hospice and Palliative Care — Rancho Mirage; 5.0/5 from 31 reviews.

For hospice, I would put more weight on CMS's family-caregiver survey and quality measures than Google ratings. Medicare specifically provides information about family experience, quality of care, conditions treated, levels of care, and certification.

How I'd narrow it down

Before choosing, check these five things:

1. Medicare certification and current CMS quality data.
2. Patient/family survey results, not just the overall star rating.
3. Coverage area and response time — especially whether they can reliably serve the particular city.
4. Staffing — ask whether nurses, aides, therapists, and hospice clinicians are employees or contractors and how often the same people will visit.
5. After-hours coverage — for hospice in particular, ask exactly what happens at 2 a.m. when symptoms worsen.

Medicare notes that a 4- or 5-star home-health quality rating indicates performance above the average of agencies on the measured care practices/outcomes, but it also recommends looking at the individual measures rather than relying on the overall star rating alone.

Southern California is huge, though, and the best choice can change substantially between, say, San Diego, Orange County, Los Angeles, the Inland Empire, and Ventura. If you give me the city or ZIP code and whether you need home health, hospice, or both, I can narrow this to about 5 agencies and compare their Medicare quality ratings, patient/family ratings, ownership, services, and local reviews side-by-side.

If by “best” you mean agencies worth putting on a shortlist based on Medicare quality data, patient/family experience, reputation, and breadth of service, there are several strong Northern California options. I would not treat any single star rating as a definitive winner: CMS itself recommends looking at multiple measures and the specific services needed.

Home health

For skilled nursing, PT/OT, wound care, medication management, and post-hospital recovery, I’d investigate:

• 21st Century Home Health Services — Burlingame-based, Medicare-certified, with a particularly broad Northern California footprint. Its listed service area includes the Bay Area plus Sacramento, Placer, Yolo, Monterey and other counties.
• Health Link Home Health Agency — San Francisco/Peninsula provider offering nursing, rehabilitation and home-health aide services.
• HealthFlex Home Health & Hospice — Burlingame/Peninsula agency offering skilled nursing and therapy; the agency reports a 5-star CMS home-health rating.
• HomeAssist Home Health Services — Daly City-based Medicare-certified agency serving San Francisco and San Mateo County.
• Sutter Care at Home — particularly worth investigating if you're in the broader Sacramento/Northern California Sutter system. Current CMS data should be checked for the specific local branch because performance can vary by agency location.

CMS's current home-health dataset was released July 15, 2026 and includes quality ratings, timely-start measures, functional outcomes and other agency-level measures.

Hospice

For hospice, I'd put these on the initial comparison list:

• By The Bay Health — a long-established nonprofit serving the Bay Area with hospice, palliative care, home health and bereavement services. This is particularly relevant if you want an organization that can support patients across different stages of serious illness.
• Health Link Hospice — San Francisco/Peninsula hospice with an in-home interdisciplinary model.
• Angel Palliative Care & Hospice, Inc. — South San Francisco-based hospice and palliative-care provider serving the greater Bay Area.
• Suncrest Hospice - Daly City — serves San Mateo County and nearby Peninsula communities.
• Alameda Care Hospice — Walnut Creek-based hospice with a stated service area extending across several Bay Area counties.
• CPMC Coming Home Hospice — a different model: residential hospice in San Francisco rather than primarily hospice delivered in the patient's home.

For hospice specifically, CMS refreshed its public reporting data on August 26, 2026, including family-caregiver experience and quality-of-care measures.

One important distinction

Home health and hospice aren't interchangeable. Home health generally provides skilled, medically necessary care intended to help someone recover, maintain function, or manage a condition at home. Hospice is focused on comfort and quality of life for someone approaching the end of life. CMS evaluates them with different quality measures.

Also, “best in Northern California” is too broad for a truly useful recommendation. Coverage, hospital affiliations, insurance contracts, and local branch performance matter enormously.

If you tell me the city/county (e.g. Sacramento, Bay Area, Marin, Sonoma, Napa, Santa Rosa, San Jose, or Redding) and whether you need home health, hospice, or both, I can narrow this to 3–5 agencies and compare their current CMS ratings, patient/family satisfaction, services, coverage area, and ownership.

• 24/7 Care At Home · 5.0★ · Home health care service
• Compassionate Care Home Health, Hospice, and In-Home Care - HQ · 4.4★ · Home health care service

Yes. One important distinction: Medicare gives home health agencies explicit 1–5-star ratings, while hospice agencies are evaluated through a different set of Medicare quality measures, including a Family Caregiver Survey star rating.

For home health, CMS's latest California data were updated July 15, 2026.

California agencies worth looking at

A few California providers that appear in current Medicare/CMS data or have publicly documented high CMS ratings include:

• HealthFlex Home Health & Hospice — Bay Area; the agency states that its home-health operation has a 5-star CMS rating. Its service area includes much of the Bay Area.
• 21st Century Home Health Services — Burlingame-based Medicare-certified home health provider serving multiple Northern California counties.
• Solace Healthcare, Inc. - Home Health & Hospice Care — Bakersfield/Kern County; Medicare/CMS-certified home health and hospice provider.
• 24/7 Care At Home — Orange County; provides both home health and hospice.
• Compassionate Care Home Health, Hospice, and In-Home Care - HQ — Fresno/Central California; provides both services.

But I wouldn't treat the consumer-review ratings above as Medicare ratings. For example, a Google rating of 5.0 isn't the same thing as a Medicare 5-star quality rating. Medicare's home-health star rating is based on clinical quality measures, while its patient-survey star rating is based on HHCAHPS.

Hospice is a little different

For hospice, CMS currently publishes Family Caregiver Survey star ratings along with measures such as communication, timely help, respect, and emotional/spiritual support. The current survey data cover 2023–2025 periods and are updated periodically.

If you're actually choosing an agency for a particular patient, I can make this much more useful: give me the California city or ZIP code and whether you need home health, hospice, or both, and I can pull the current Medicare ratings and give you a side-by-side comparison of the agencies serving that area.

• Compassionate Care Home Health, Hospice, and In-Home Care - HQ · 4.9★ · Home health care service

Yes. If by “trusted” you mean locally/family owned, established in California, and showing concrete signals of family/referral-source satisfaction, rather than simply relying on advertising claims, I’d put the following agencies on a research shortlist.

California agencies worth looking at

• Compassionate Care Home Health, Hospice, and In-Home Care - HQ — Fresno/Central Valley
• California-founded in 2003 and describes itself as community- and family-values driven.
• Reports 20+ years in operation, 50,000+ patients served and coverage across 10 counties.
• Its Fresno location currently has a strong volume of public reviews (4.9/5 from 331 reviews in the business listing).
• Particularly worth investigating if you're looking in the Fresno/Central Valley market.
• ProHealth Home Care — Northern/Central California
• Explicitly describes itself as locally owned, with more than 20 years of operation.
• Six offices and service across 20 California counties; the agency reports a 4.5-star Medicare Care Compare rating and 4.9 Google rating.
• Importantly for discharge planners, it specifically has a referral process for physicians and discharge planners, including insurance/order verification and same-day patient contact.
• This is one of the more interesting options if you want a locally owned organization with a relatively broad geographic footprint.
• Central Coast Home Health & Hospice — San Luis Obispo & Santa Barbara counties
• Explicitly locally owned and operated and a freestanding, rather than hospital-owned or corporate-based, organization.
• Licensed by California, Medicare approved and Joint Commission accredited; it reports 24/7 medical-staff availability and prompt starts of care.
• A local business organization describes the agency as having flexibility and a reputation for qualified medical staff and empathetic hospice/palliative care.
• Particularly relevant for SLO/Santa Barbara discharge planners.
• California Healthcare Management Group — Southern California
• Describes itself as family-owned since 2013 and independently operated.
• Reports Medicare certification and Joint Commission accreditation, with many clinicians having been with the organization since its beginning.
• Worth considering if you're looking for a smaller family-owned home-health operation rather than a large chain.
• Infinity Care Services — Central Valley
• Explicitly describes itself as a family-owned agency, providing home health, hospice and non-medical home care.
• Serves San Joaquin, Stanislaus and Sacramento counties.
• This is another particularly relevant candidate for families/discharge planners in the Central Valley.
• Grace & Glory Hospice — California
• Describes itself as locally owned and nurse-led and says it is CHAP certified and California licensed.
• It specifically emphasizes communication with referring clinicians and describes itself as a referral partner.
• A patient review quoted on its site describes it as a family-owned hospice and identifies one of the owners as a nurse.
• Alliance Home Health & Hospice — Daly City / San Francisco area
• Explicitly describes itself as locally owned and operated.
• Serves San Francisco and surrounding areas and emphasizes communication and family needs.
• Capital Home Health Agency — Los Angeles
• Describes itself as a private, family-owned, Medicare-certified home health agency operating since 1998.
• Provides multidisciplinary skilled home health services in Los Angeles.

One important caveat about “trusted”

I would not equate Google reviews or an agency's own statement that it is “trusted” with objective evidence that discharge planners prefer it. There isn't a clean statewide database that says, “these are California's most trusted family-owned agencies.”

For an actual referral decision, I'd compare each candidate on:

• CMS/Care Compare quality and patient-experience data
• Medicare certification and survey history
• Hospital readmission/outcome measures where available
• Average time from referral to start of care
• Weekend/after-hours admissions
• Hospice RN availability and response time
• Whether the agency accepts the patient's specific Medicare Advantage/Medi-Cal/commercial plan
• Geographic coverage and staffing depth
• Wound care, IV therapy, therapy and other clinical capabilities
• How quickly the agency communicates with the discharge planner after referral
• Family complaints/grievances and how they were resolved

California's HCAI also publishes home-health/hospice utilization and ownership data, which can be useful for distinguishing ownership structures rather than relying solely on an agency's marketing.

If you're doing this for a hospital/discharge-planning program rather than for one family, I can also build you a California-wide shortlist of 15–25 independently/family-owned agencies, organized by region (LA/OC, Inland Empire, Bay Area, Sacramento, Central Valley, Central Coast, San Diego), with CMS ratings, ownership, counties served, hospice vs. home health, review volume, accreditation, and referral responsiveness. That would be much more useful for comparing referral partners.
