Frequently Asked Questions

Should you survey the patient or the family?

Both when possible. Patients can rate the care experience directly, while family members often observe things the patient may not report — punctuality, communication and care plan adherence.

How often should home health agencies survey?

A quick survey after every visit for real-time quality monitoring, plus a comprehensive monthly survey for overall satisfaction and NPS.

What should home healthcare surveys measure?

Caregiver skill and empathy, punctuality, care plan adherence, communication with family, scheduling reliability and NPS. Keep per-visit surveys under 4 questions.

Can surveys help with CAHPS compliance?

Yes. SurveyNinja offers CAHPS-aligned question sets that help you monitor performance on the same domains CMS evaluates — before the official survey arrives.
