Home Care Check: the public record on care at home in St. Louis

Why it surfaced

Its sharpest finding is also its most useful warning: the public files name certified home-health agencies and 1,162 federal in-home-care registrations, but do not contain a single provider of the non-medical care many families are actually seeking. The site shows its sources, pull dates, geographic rules, and lookup methods instead of pretending the records answer more than they do.

A local records desk assembles government data on home health agencies, service areas, quality ratings, and in-home-care registrations across the St. Louis metro.
