South Dakota hospices: 17 Medicare-certified, source-cited identity + ownership data.
Ownership type, certification date, and CMS region for every Medicare-certified hospice in South Dakota. CAHPS Hospice experience-of-care measures live in a separate CMS dataset and are not included in this snapshot.
Editorial note: South Dakota is a state where source-cited public-data coverage of hospice ownership is materially thinner than national averages — Fonteum prioritizes full provenance + state context here.
Ownership breakdown — South Dakota
Hospice ownership concentration is the documented quality-of-care variable in policy literature; Fonteum surfaces the breakdown explicitly.
Hospice quality measures — what this page can and cannot show
Unlike nursing homes or home health, the CMS Hospice General Information file that backs this page does notcarry star ratings or quality scores. Hospice quality is reported in the separate CAHPS Hospice Survey dataset, and CMS suppressed publicly reported hospice quality measures during the documented May 2026 → February 2028 transition to the new HOPE assessment.
Rather than fabricate a rating, Fonteum renders the fields that genuinely exist for every South Dakota hospice: CMS-certified identity, ownership type, CMS region, and Medicare certification date. When the HOPE-based measures publish, they will land here traced to their source.
