Androscoggin Home Healthcare + Hospice

What Androscoggin Home Healthcare + Hospice does

Androscoggin Home Healthcare + Hospice, now operating as Andwell Health Partners, is a nonprofit, Medicare-certified home healthcare and hospice organization founded in 1966 and headquartered at 15 Strawberry Avenue, Lewiston, Maine. The organization delivers an integrated portfolio of services across all 16 Maine counties, including skilled home healthcare, personal care, mobile wound care, hospice home care, the Gosnell Memorial Hospice House inpatient facility, palliative medicine, bereavement and emotional/spiritual support, community and behavioral health (counseling and case management), pediatric therapy, audiology, and maternal and child health services. Service delivery is hybrid: in-person home visits, outpatient clinic settings, telehealth for counseling and case management, and dedicated hospice facilities, supported by a centralized phone intake line and an online referral portal.

The business model is reimbursement-driven under a nonprofit structure. Revenue is generated primarily through Medicare and Medicaid reimbursements for home health, hospice, and palliative services, supplemented by billing to participating private insurance plans. A secondary revenue stream comes from charitable giving (one-time donations, annual giving, GivingTuesday, planned giving, gifts of stock/securities, and proceeds from a hospice thrift store). Customers are individual patients and families segmented by clinical need (home health, hospice/palliative, behavioral health, pediatric/specialty), with referrals originating from healthcare providers, community channels, and direct consumer outreach.

The organization has scaled materially through inorganic moves: the February 2022 acquisition of Care & Comfort (a Waterville, Maine-based home and behavioral health provider) brought headcount to nearly 500 employees and completed statewide county coverage. A second major move is the announced unification with Hospice of Southern Maine under a single nonprofit effective April 1, 2026. Operational posture is shaped by ACHC accreditation, We Honor Veterans partnership, and membership in the Maine Association for Home Care and NAHC; a May 2026 organizational response to a national moratorium in home health and hospice signals active engagement with regulatory headwinds.

Scale indicators2 records

Recent moves5 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Amedisys: Amedisys is one of the largest U.S. for-profit home health and hospice providers with national scale. It is a broad incumbent peer because it offers the same home health and hospice services as Andwell at much larger scale, although it does not focus narrowly on the Maine market.
• Aveanna Healthcare: Aveanna is a large national home health, hospice, and medical solutions provider with strong pediatric therapy positioning. It is a broad incumbent peer because the pediatric therapy and home health components particularly overlap with Andwell's pediatric and adult home health lines.
• Encompass Health: Encompass Health operates inpatient rehabilitation hospitals and (historically) home health/hospice via Enhabit. It is a broad incumbent peer because its home health and post-acute segments overlap with Andwell's skilled home health, wound care, and rehabilitation-adjacent services.
• LHC Group: LHC Group (now part of Optum) operates a national network of home health, hospice, and home- and community-based services agencies. It is a broad incumbent peer because LHC's service mix (skilled home health, hospice, palliative care) overlaps directly with Andwell's portfolio, although at vastly greater scale across many states.
• Gentiva: Gentiva (formerly part of Kindred at Home) is a major U.S. hospice and personal care provider with national reach. It is a broad incumbent peer because hospice and palliative care are core products at both organizations, even though Gentiva's portfolio is broader and for-profit in structure.
• BrightSpring Health Services: BrightSpring is a large home- and community-based health services provider spanning hospice, home health, behavioral health, and pharmacy services. It is a broad incumbent peer because its diverse home/community health portfolio — including behavioral and hospice — closely parallels Andwell's integrated offering.

Regional players

• Visiting Nurse Service of New York: VNSNY is a large non-profit home health, hospice, and behavioral health provider serving the New York metro region. It is a regional peer because it operates a non-profit, integrated home health/hospice/behavioral model structurally identical to Andwell's, but serves a different (New York) geography without direct Maine overlap.

Direct peers

• Help at Home: Help at Home is a large personal care and home health services provider focused on Medicaid waiver populations. It is a direct peer because Andwell's personal care/CareGivers line and chronic-condition in-home support target the same Medicaid waiver and personal-care patient segments as Help at Home.
• Bayada Home Health Care: Bayada is a large, mission-driven (formerly non-profit) home health, hospice, and pediatric therapy provider with multi-state coverage. It is a direct peer because Andwell mirrors Bayada's combined home health + hospice + pediatric therapy service mix, especially Bayada's pediatric and adult home health divisions serving similar populations.
• Hospice of Southern Maine: Hospice of Southern Maine is a Maine-based non-profit hospice agency currently merging with Andwell (Androscoggin). It is a direct peer because both organizations deliver hospice and palliative care in Maine with overlapping geographies and overlapping patient populations, making this the single most comparable entity.
