Patients Have A Choice In Their Home Health Providers

When it comes to you or your family’s health, you always want the best care possible. If you or a loved one is in need of home health care or hospice care, it can be difficult to know which providers you are eligible to work with. Unfortunately, many people have felt restricted from choosing their home health providers in the past. However, we are here to tell you that you do have a choice!

Whether you suffered a stroke, heart attack, or another major medical event, it is important to have a home health care provider who will help you get back to doing what you

love. If you or your parents are experiencing problems with the ability to keep up with your daily activities, home health therapy might be an answer.

Medicare and Medicaid have what is known as Conditions of Participation, or CoP’s. Health providers that wish to accept Medicare and Medicaid must adhere to these strict policies in order to retain their certification and continue to receive payments from Medicare and Medicaid. This helps to protect patients like you or your loved ones from predatory health care practices. This gives you greater freedom in choosing home health or hospice care provider.

Many people believe that they do not have a choice when it comes to their home health care or hospice care provider, and have to go with who their doctor recommends. With more and more health providers accepting Medicare, Medicaid, and even private insurance, you may be surprised to see how many choices you actually have. A hospital is required to give you a list of options in your area, and disclose any partnerships they have with the providers that would directly benefit them. Be sure to choose a provider that will help keep you or your loved ones’ quality of life high and do not settle for a home health service just because you think it is your only option.

Contact your insurance provider today to see the many options you have in your area for home health care and hospice. Your insurance provider will work with you to find a home health care agency that helps to improve the quality of life. You or your loved ones shouldn’t have to suffer.

Why Ownership Matters:

At Haven Home Health and Hospice, we are proud to be the last locally-owned, independent, and clinician-led provider of home-based care in our region. While that may sound like a simple fact, it’s actually a defining difference—one that matters deeply to the quality of care our patients receive every day. In recent years, private equity firms and large corporate healthcare chains have rapidly bought out home health and hospice providers across the country, including right here in our community. What we’ve seen in the aftermath is troubling: rapid turnover of staff, shrinking time spent with patients, and decisions driven more by profit margins than by compassion, dignity, and clinical excellence. 

When ownership shifts from caregivers to corporations, priorities shift too. 

We believe healthcare should never be treated like a commodity. That’s why we’ve remained committed to local, clinician-led ownership—because we answer to patients, not shareholders. Our leadership is hands-on, involved, and invested in every life we touch. We believe that meaningful care takes time, intention, and heart—and it starts with the people who make the decisions. As owners who are also licensed clinicians, we understand the weight of the responsibility we carry. Our patients are not numbers in a spreadsheet. They are parents, grandparents, neighbors, and friends. And we believe they deserve the kind of care we’d want for our own families. We will continue to stand against the corporatization of healthcare, and we invite you to stand with us. Whether you’re a patient, a referral partner, or a member of the community, your trust makes it possible for us to preserve something rare and essential in today’s healthcare system: personalized, human-centered care. Because in the end, ownership isn’t just about who signs the papers—it’s about who shows up when it matters most.
