A home health agency in Cherokee, NC. It ran an operating loss of 327.3% in FY25 on $0.6M of operating revenue. 6 reporting years are on file, but revenue scale shifts too much between them for a like-for-like trend, so trend context is limited. Including nonoperating items, the all-in result was positive at 5.7%. On care, it carries a 1.5-star CMS quality rating. Its within-stay preventable hospitalization runs 15.9%. On the filed record it is running at an operating loss with lower measured quality. Source-reported context, not a recommendation.

How it operates
quality & operational context · CMS public reporting

Each is labeled by provenance class and public source; descriptive context only, never a ranking or adequacy claim.
