Provides home health, hospice, home care, geriatric primary and palliative care, and senior living services through local operating subsidiaries. Most revenue comes from home health and hospice, with growth tied to acquisitions, census and occupancy gains, reimbursement, and staffing.
Runs home health, hospice, home care, geriatric primary and palliative care, and senior living services across a U.S. operating footprint. Home health and hospice provide most revenue, while senior living adds assisted living, independent living, and memory care communities.
Operates as a holding company over independent local subsidiaries, with a central Service Center supporting accounting, payroll, human resources, IT, legal, risk, and compliance. The model relies on local leaders, cluster-level support, and acquisitions alongside census and occupancy growth.
Started public life as a 2019 Ensign Group spin-off. Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement, caregiver availability, acquisition competition, and senior-living occupancy shape the business.
