The read
A home health agency in Lowville, NY. It ran an operating loss of 55.2% in FY20 on $0.7M of operating revenue. Only a single comparable reporting year is available, so trend context is limited. On care, it carries a 2.5-star CMS quality rating and 5-star patient experience. Its within-stay preventable hospitalization runs 9.6%. These figures come from filings spanning FY20–FY24: read each by its own year rather than as one current picture.

The money
$ thousands · HCRIS cost-report basis · as filed, QA-gated
Ratios tell you how this home health agency is doing. Statements tell you what kind of organization it is, and where the money comes from. Every figure below traces to a public cost-report filing, shown as filed. A ratio renders only when every input is reported in the filing; a year missing its core lines is not shown; a year whose balance sheet does not reconcile is labeled. Not audited by Astrelis.

A condensed balance sheet is not shown for this home health agency: the public cost report does not carry substantive balance-sheet detail (assets, liabilities, and net assets that reconcile) for this provider. The income statement and ratio exhibit above are the reliable financial view here. We lead with those rather than render a hollow table.
