U.S. News & World Report will release its first Best Home Health rating on Feb. 24, 2026.
  
The organization’s system averages an agency’s star ratings and patient satisfaction scores to create a composite score, according to details released during a webinar Feb. 10, 2026. Providers are then assigned a ranking such as “high performing” or “expected.” 
 
Agencies included in the ratings list can be filtered by: 
  • Zip code 
  • Available services 
  • Quality scores 
  • HHCAHPS patient satisfaction scores 
Agencies that do not have a CMS certification number will be listed in the report but will not receive a rating. 
 
Other U.S. News lists include Best Nursing Homes and Best Hospitals for Rehabilitation.
