Home Health & Hospice: AI Visibility Ranking

Agency software for home health and hospice providers covering scheduling, clinical documentation, and billing. Right now, WellSky is the brand AI assistants recommend most, with a Visibility Score of 63 and the #1 spot in 28% of answers. Head-to-head: WellSky vs Homecare Homebase →

These rankings are measured from what the three models know from training, not a live web search. When the models DO search the web, see which sources they cite. Methodology.

WellSky and Homecare Homebase are virtually tied at the top.

With scores of 53.6 and 52.4, WellSky and Homecare Homebase are separated by barely a point, and both get mentioned in exactly 61% of answers, making this as close a race as the data can produce. Axxess is the interesting third player: Gemini ranks it first 76% of the time while ChatGPT gives it only a 20, a split that shows how differently each model has absorbed this category. MatrixCare and AlayaCare trail with under 40% mention rates and almost no first-pick selections, leaving the real contest concentrated at the top.

The ± under each score is the reliability band: how much the number would move if we re-ran the identical measurement. It is tight because each prompt is sampled multiple times. It is not the same as how much the ranking depends on which prompts we ask — a separate, wider figure shown on hover.

Just below the cutoff: Axxess Home Health (5.8), Brightree (5.8), Microsoft Entra ID (5.3), Okta (4.7), HHAeXchange (4.2). 62 brands were scored in this category; the leaderboard shows the top 15.

Visibility Score: position-weighted presence across all measured answers, 0 to 100. A score of 100 means the brand was the first recommendation in every answer. Every point in a trend line is a live monthly measurement; there is no modeled or backfilled history. Full methodology.
