Capital Caring Health

What Capital Caring Health does

Capital Caring Health is a 501(c)(3) non-profit hospice and palliative care provider founded in 1977 (formerly Hospice of Northern Virginia) and headquartered in Falls Church, Virginia, serving patients with serious illness across all age groups. Its service portfolio spans home-based hospice care, inpatient hospice care at dedicated facilities, pediatric hospice and palliative care through the Capital Caring Kids program (now unified into Chapters Kids within the Chapters Health System affiliate network), specialized veteran hospice services, and a robotic companion pet program for older adults with dementia and depression delivered in partnership with Ageless Innovation. The organization operates across eight states and the District of Columbia (Virginia, Maryland, Florida, Georgia, Nevada, Oregon, California, and D.C.) through the Chapters Health System network, with reported scale of 5,000+ robotic companions distributed since 2021 and 300+ veteran long-term care centers served in 2024.

The company's revenue model is structurally bifurcated: clinical revenue flows through Medicare Hospice Benefits under Medicare Part A on a per-diem subscription-style reimbursement basis covering routine home care, continuous home care, inpatient respite care, and general inpatient care, while charitable donations, fundraising events, and Amazon Smile contributions fund non-reimbursed programs such as robotic pet distribution and pediatric services. Capital Caring Health is positioned as part of the nation's largest unified non-profit pediatric hospice network through the Chapters Kids program (April 2026) and as a community-based advanced illness care provider differentiated by 45+ years of operating history, a Centers of Excellence designation, and a research function referenced on its website. The organization operates 501 to 1,000 employees with no disclosed parent company, no funding rounds, and no public listing; ownership is independent non-profit with structural affiliation to Chapters Health System rather than corporate control.
