Financial anchor year: FY23. Margin and revenue are as filed for FY23. Balance-sheet measures (current ratio, equity financing, days in A/R) use FY21, the latest filing whose balance sheet reconciled as filed. Days cash on hand is FY21, the most recent year that passed the display gate. Every tile below states its own fiscal year; nothing is carried forward or estimated.
The read
A hospice in Tucumcari, NM. It ran an operating loss of 17.1% in FY23 on $0.1M of operating revenue. It held 50 days of cash on hand in FY21, its most recent reported liquidity (64th percentile among hospices on liquidity). Only a single comparable reporting year is available, so trend context is limited. It carries an average daily census of 4. These figures come from filings spanning FY21–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 hospice 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 hospice: 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.

Directional, conservative band. Arithmetic against matched-peer medians from public filings, not a projection; public data cannot fully control for patient acuity.
The free profile shows the record. The Board Briefing tells you what changed, what matters, and what your board should ask. 35+ pages, built entirely from public sources, no client data required. Delivered within 2 business days. If we cannot deliver the published scope for your facility, you pay nothing.
Where this facility is underperforming its matched peer cohort and what that gap is worth, measure by measure. Founding Edition: delivered within 30 days of eligibility confirmation, full refund if the published scope cannot be delivered.
