CarePartners Home Health

What CarePartners Home Health does

CarePartners Home Health, Inc. is a privately held, nurse-owned home health care agency founded in 1995 (originally as Cardinal Home Care, Inc. and rebranded in 2017) and headquartered in Columbus, Ohio. The company delivers Medicare-certified skilled nursing, physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, medical social services, and home health aide assistance directly in patients' homes across Franklin County and the surrounding central Ohio region, with supplemental services to residents of partnered assisted living facilities. Operating with 11-50 employees, the firm combines seven integrated clinical services under physician-authorized individualized care plans, maintaining OASIS scores above the national average and a 24-hour registered nurse on-call response within 15 minutes.

The company's revenue model is reimbursement-driven across four payer channels: Medicare (full coverage for eligible homebound patients), private health insurance, the Ohio Bureau of Workers' Compensation for injured worker claims, and direct private pay billed monthly after service delivery. The go-to-market motion is sales-led and referral-anchored, requiring a physician's order to initiate service and supplemented by direct family inquiries, hospital discharge planner referrals, and assisted living facility partnerships. The firm markets itself through an educational website, a quarterly patient newsletter, physician relationship management, and consultative work with assisted living operators.

CarePartners operates as an independent, single-location entity with no disclosed subsidiaries, parent company, private equity involvement, funding rounds, M&A activity, or geographic expansion beyond its central Ohio service area. Leadership is concentrated, with Elizabeth (Bonnie) Maxwell, MS, RN serving as President and CEO. The competitive posture emphasizes quality of care and clinical outcomes over scale, with regulatory certifications (Medicare, Ohio BWC, HIPAA-compliant since 2003) and Ohio Council for Home Care membership anchoring its operating credentials.
