Guardian Angel Home Care

What Guardian Angel Home Care does

Guardian Angel Home Care and Hospice, Inc. is a privately held, CMS-certified and CHAP-accredited home health and hospice provider founded in 1994 by Sam Kassab in Michigan. The company delivers in-home skilled medical services — including skilled nursing, physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech-language pathology, medical social work, and home health aide support — to Medicare-eligible seniors, Veterans, hospice patients, and individuals with chronic or dementia-related conditions across California, Illinois, Michigan, Nevada, and Ohio. Its service portfolio is anchored by core Home Health Care and Hospice Care lines, supplemented by specialty programs for Veterans, Dementia & Alzheimer's, and Chronic Disease Management.

The company operates a 20+ branch office network and runs a HIPAA-compliant physician and agency portal for care coordination, a hospital direct-submission electronic referral portal, and operates on HCHB (Homecare Homebase) for scheduling and case management. Distribution is primarily referral-driven through hospitals, physicians, case managers, and discharge planners, supplemented by a 24/7 phone intake line, a website-based self-referral channel, and community partnerships with AARP, the Alzheimer's Association, the American Heart Association, and the American Diabetes Association.

Guardian Angel is reimbursed primarily through Medicare Part A home health benefits, with secondary revenue from Medicaid, Veterans Administration benefits, long-term care insurance, and major commercial payors including Blue Cross Blue Shield, Aetna, United Healthcare, and Humana, plus limited private-pay arrangements. The company has no disclosed funding rounds, M&A activity, or institutional ownership in available materials, and reports no app, public API, or proprietary AI/ML capabilities; technology is limited to standard operational tooling (HCHB, ADP, Rackspace) plus the proprietary HIPAA-compliant portal.
