How to choose

  1. Call to confirm the agency serves your street, has openings and can start when you need it.
  2. Look at both star scores: how patients' health changed, and what patients said.
  3. Check the services you need are offered, such as physical therapy or an aide.
  4. Medicare pays when a doctor orders part-time skilled care and the person is homebound.

Questions to ask when you call

  • How soon can your first visit be?
  • Who will visit, and how often?
  • Do you take my Medicare plan or insurance?
  • Who do I call after hours or on weekends?

Independent and free

PlanScout is not paid by any agency, and the order is never sold. Missing data says “Not rated” or “Not reported”, never zero.

Compare side by side

Quality star rating

How patients’ health changed under the agency’s care, from CMS Care Compare. 1 to 5 stars.

Patient survey stars

What patients said about communication, care and the agency overall (the HHCAHPS survey).

Not the same as home care

Help with bathing, meals or companionship without skilled care is home care, and Medicare doesn’t cover it. See help-at-home options →

Local pay and Medicare payment figures for ZIP 50115

What aides are paid near you

Typical hourly wage for home health and personal care aides near you
$17.48 an hour
Des Moines-West Des Moines, IA metro area, May 2025
Middle half of aides earn $16.85 to $18.17 an hour

This is what aides are paid, from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. It is not what an agency charges. Agencies charge more than the wage to cover payroll taxes, insurance, training, scheduling and their own costs, so ask any agency for its rates.

What Medicare paid

What Medicare paid, on average, per 30-day home health period in Iowa
$1,749
CY 2024
Based on 39,686 stays

This is the average amount Medicare paid providers in 2024 for people on Original Medicare. It is not a price list and not what you would owe. What you pay depends on your coverage, how long you stay and whether Medicare covers the care.

Agencies choose which ZIP codes they serve, and that list can change. Call to confirm they have openings, take your insurance and can start when you need them. Star ratings are Medicare measures, not a recommendation.

PlanScout is independent and not paid by any agency.
