Review.Care uses an overall quality of home health care star rating to illustrate how the performance of Mercer Care compares to other agencies. Home health care providers get a rating from 1 to 5 stars, with 1 being the lowest score and 5 representing the highest overall score. Home health care agencies get more stars when they follow recommended care practices for more patients, and when more of their patients show improvement.
