Hospice Agencies in South Dakota
17 hospice agencies in South Dakota — 17 independently graded on public safety, staffing and enforcement records. No facility pays for placement.
How these grades work. Every grade is computed from a fixed public rubric — safety inspections, staffing, clinical outcomes, enforcement actions and financial stability — using government data. No facility can pay to change its grade or placement. Providers with under 30% rubric coverage are shown as "Listed" with no letter grade rather than pretending thin data is comparable. Read the full methodology.
What this costs. Hospice is covered by the Medicare hospice benefit for eligible patients — typically no out-of-pocket cost for the care itself (room and board excluded). Medicare sets the rates, so there's no market price to compare and we don't show one.
