What Central Vermont Home Health & Hospice, Inc does

Central Vermont Home Health & Hospice, Inc (CVHHH) is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit Visiting Nurse Association founded in 1911 and headquartered at 600 Granger Road, Barre, Vermont. The organization delivers a full continuum of in-home health services across 23 towns in Washington and Orange Counties, Vermont, employing 119 clinicians, caregivers, and administrative staff and making 50,000+ annual visits to 2,000+ patients and families. Service lines include Adult Home Health Care (post-acute and chronic disease management), Hospice Care, Palliative Care Consultative Services, Long-Term Care (in-home personal care and case management for adults with disabilities and older Vermonters), and Maternal & Family-Child Health (including the Strong Families Vermont Home Visiting Program). The agency holds a 4-star Medicare patient satisfaction rating and a 5-star rating from Central Vermonters announced in early 2026.

CVHHH's underlying technology is a home-health delivery platform built around telemonitoring: hand-held tablets equipped with video and audio that enable remote clinical communication, vital-signs monitoring, and early detection of patient exacerbations to reduce emergency department utilization. The agency is Medicare-certified, governed by a volunteer Board of Directors, and led by President & CEO Sandy Rousse, CPA, with clinical oversight provided by medical directors affiliated with the University of Vermont Health Network-Central Vermont Medical Center. The organization is a member of VNAs of Vermont and the National Alliance for Care at Home.

The revenue model is a hybrid of clinical reimbursement and philanthropic support. Clinical services are billed primarily to Medicare (the dominant payor), with secondary coverage from Medicaid (under VT Department of Aging & Independent Living criteria) and private insurance; services are provided regardless of ability to pay. The remainder of operating support comes from donations (year-end appeals, Giving Tuesday, golf tournaments, grateful-giving and planned-giving programs), grants (Vermont Mutual Charitable Fund, North Country Credit Union, other foundations), and voter-approved municipal appropriations from the 23 towns served. Care is initiated predominantly through physician referrals and hospital discharge planning, with the Palliative Care Consultative Service accepting self-referrals. The agency is launching a paid LNA (Licensed Nursing Assistant) training program at its Barre headquarters in 2026, representing its first paid professional training product line beyond direct home care delivery.

2. Medicaid and Private Insurance: Long-term care services covered through financial criteria and clinical criteria determined by VT Department of Aging & Independent Living (DAIL).
3. Donations and Fundraising: Giving Tuesday campaigns, year-end appeals ($111,000 raised in 2025-2026), golf tournaments ($39,000+), grateful giving program, planned giving, and general donations support funding gaps.
4. Grants: Vermont Mutual Charitable Fund ($10,000), NCFCU grants, and other foundation funding support specific programs like Adult Home Health Care and hospice services.
5. Town Funding: Municipal funding requests approved by voters in Central Vermont towns support operations and address reimbursement gaps.
