Phoenix Home Care & Hospice is a Medicare-certified hospice in Wichita, Kansas, operating under CMS Certification Number (CCN) 171585. Ownership type not reported. Average daily census: 164 patients. The hospice is required to comply with the Hospice Conditions of Participation at 42 CFR Part 418.
Local market context (Sedgwick County): Phoenix Home Care & Hospice operates in Sedgwick County alongside 19 other Medicare-certified hospices in our Kansas sample. Multi-hospice counties create direct competitive comparison on CAHPS Hospice Survey results and Hospice Care Index trends — referring physicians often shortlist 2-3 hospices for family choice based on these public signals.
Phoenix Home Care & Hospice provides: General Inpatient (Hospital). CMS requires hospices to be capable of providing all four levels of care (routine home, continuous home, general inpatient, and respite) either directly or through written contractual arrangements.
Phoenix Home Care & Hospice's diagnostic mix is balanced across multiple primary diagnoses (circulatory / heart-disease 20%, cancer 19%, plus other diagnoses). Diversified diagnostic mixes are operationally harder to staff for at the specialty level — the IDG must maintain readiness across cancer pain protocols, dementia behavioral management, and end-stage organ-failure symptom management simultaneously — but they smooth referral-volatility risk that more-concentrated hospices face.
Reported patient diagnostic mix: Cancer 19%, Dementia 14%, Circulatory/heart 20%, Respiratory 14%, Stroke 8%, Other 26%. OIG and CMS use diagnostic mix as one screening indicator when evaluating whether a hospice's patient population matches its claimed certification volume; outlier mixes attract additional medical-review scrutiny.
Phoenix Home Care & Hospice falls under HHS Region 7 — Kansas City (IA, KS, MO, NE) in CMS Provider Data. HHS / CMS Regional Office designations drive (a) which CMS Regional Office handles direct enforcement contact and survey-agency coordination for Conditions of Participation findings, and (b) which Office of Inspector General regional field office maintains jurisdiction over OIG hospice work-plan reviews. CAHPS Hospice Survey results are published at the facility level and aggregated nationally on CMS Care Compare; the 7 CAHPS Hospice composite measures (Communication, Help for Pain and Symptoms, Treating Patient with Respect, Information Continuity, Understanding the Care, Emotional Support, Rating of the Hospice) feed into the public Care Compare rating for each provider.
Hospice Care Index (HCI) score: 1.1/10 (90th percentile nationally). The HCI is a 10-indicator composite measure CMS publishes for hospices, covering items like live-discharge rate, gaps in skilled nursing visits, and burdensome care transitions. The Kansas median HCI score across same-state peers is 0.0, so Phoenix Home Care & Hospice's 1.1 score sits with no peer median yet published the state median. A score below the 25th percentile is one of the screening factors CMS uses to flag hospices for additional quality oversight.
Peer comparisons on this page use a same-state cohort of 85 Medicare-certified hospices in Kansas, pulled live from CMS Provider Data. The cohort excludes terminated and surrendered certifications, so the median reflects the currently-active peer set.
