Moments Hospice

What Moments Hospice does

Moments Hospice, operating under the legal entity Guardian Hospice, is a Medicare-certified hospice agency headquartered in Golden Valley, Minnesota. Founded in 2016, the company delivers end-of-life care across 24+ office locations in eight U.S. states (Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Florida, South Dakota), covering 53 counties in Minnesota and 69 counties in Wisconsin plus the Hiawatha, Iowa metro area. Its service portfolio comprises the four federally defined hospice levels of care (Routine Home Care, Continuous Home Care, General Inpatient Care, and Respite Care) plus bereavement and grief counseling services, delivered through home-based and facility-based visits by multidisciplinary teams of nurses, social workers, chaplains, and aides. Specialty programs include We Honor Vets (veteran-focused care via partnership with the National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization and the VA), AwareCare (advanced illness), Synapse (neurological), and Enduring Hearts (cardiac). A 24/7 phone line (1-833-HOSPICE) and an aggressive sub-two-hour referral response standard operationalize rapid intake.

The business model is fee-for-service reimbursement under Medicare Part A hospice benefit, with Medicaid and private/military insurance as secondary payors; patients receive covered services without out-of-pocket costs, which makes the entity fundamentally a clinical services operator rather than a software or technology company. A 24/7 phone infrastructure, a website-driven inbound channel, and a Moments Foundation charitable arm round out the operating stack. Go-to-market is referral-led: hospitals, skilled nursing facilities, assisted living communities, physicians, and family/caregiver inquiries feed a sales-led pipeline, with the company explicitly positioning itself as a 'guest' inside partner facilities collaborating on joint care plans. The Moments Palliative Care sub-brand, launched as a distinct offering ([email protected]), extends upstream into pre-hospice serious-illness care.

CHAP Center of Excellence accreditation on the Miami location and Medicare certification across the service area constitute the company's principal regulatory positioning; no funding rounds, M&A activity, or institutional investor relationships are disclosed. The company reports 251-500 employees, has not been linked to a parent organization, and exhibits the profile of an independently operated, organically scaling regional hospice operator expanding through de novo office additions.

Direct peers

• Compassus: Compassus is a privately held, multi-state hospice, palliative, and home health operator directly comparable in service mix (routine, continuous, inpatient, respite), Medicare certification, and geographic breadth. Both target referral-driven GTM with hospital and facility partnerships.
• Enhabit Inc. Enhabit operates a home health and hospice platform across 30+ states. Its hospice service line is directly comparable to Moments Hospice in patient population, Medicare reimbursement model, and referral-based GTM with hospitals and SNFs.
• ProMedica (Heartland Hospice): ProMedica's Heartland Hospice operates a multi-state hospice network with the same four levels of care and Medicare reimbursement structure. Directly competes with Moments Hospice for facility referrals in the Midwest.
• VITAS Healthcare (Chemed Corporation): VITAS Healthcare is the largest U.S. hospice provider, operating across multiple states with all four levels of care. It is a direct competitor to Moments Hospice in overlapping Midwest/Florida geographies, with similar Medicare-anchored economics and a multi-state facility footprint.
• Gentiva: Gentiva (formerly Kindred at Home's hospice segment, backed by CD&R) is a large hospice and palliative care operator with multi-state presence. It competes head-to-head for hospital and facility referrals and offers the same Medicare-reimbursed four-level hospice service mix.

Broad incumbents

• Aveanna Healthcare: Aveanna is a publicly traded, multi-state home health and hospice operator competing for the same Medicare-eligible patient population and hospital/facility referral channels. Comparable in payor mix and operational model, but with broader pediatric and adult home health services.
• BrightSpring Health Services: BrightSpring (KKR-backed) is a diversified home and community-based services platform with hospice among its offerings. Comparable business model for the hospice segment and similar PE-backed multi-state expansion strategy targeting fragmented markets.
• Amedisys: Amedisys (now part of UnitedHealth Group/Optum) operates one of the largest U.S. home health and hospice networks. Its hospice segment mirrors Moments Hospice's full four-level care model and Medicare-anchored referral economics across overlapping geographies including the Midwest.
• LHC Group: LHC Group (acquired by UnitedHealth/Optum) operates home health, hospice, and facility-based care across dozens of states. Its hospice service line directly parallels Moments Hospice in scope, with the added strength of Optum's value-based-care contracting leverage.

Emerging players

Comparable in multi-state hospice model, referral-driven GTM, and Medicare-anchored revenue mix—often mentioned alongside Moments Hospice in industry roll-up discussions.
