Care Management

What Care Management does

Americare, operating under The Americare Companies and affiliated legal entity Americare Certified Special Services, Inc., is a privately held home healthcare services organization founded in 1982 and headquartered in Brooklyn, New York. The company provides in-home skilled nursing (CHHA), home health aide (LCHSA) personal care, rehabilitation therapy (physical, occupational, speech), behavioral health, pediatric home care for children with developmental disabilities (Amerikids, under OPWDD waiver funding), pharmaceutical services through MedPack Pharmacy, ABA therapy via United Care ABA, and a private-pay offering under the Attencia brand. Care is delivered directly to patients' residences across all five NYC boroughs, Long Island, and seven Hudson Valley counties, supported by 11 office and community outreach locations and a multilingual workforce speaking 15+ languages. The company serves over 10,000 patients annually, holds the highest 5-Star Quality Rating from CMS and Joint Commission National Quality Approval, and was recognized in Newsweek's 2026 ranking of best home health agencies.

The business model is overwhelmingly government-payor driven: the majority of revenue is generated through Medicaid and Medicare fee-for-service and waiver reimbursements (including OPWDD for pediatric care and NYC Health Home / CAMBA Health Link programs for high-needs Medicaid enrollees), with secondary private-pay revenue from Attencia. Services are initiated after an in-home care assessment, with skilled nurses typically assigned within 24 hours of first contact, and the company advertises 24/7 availability across many of its service lines. There is no proprietary software platform disclosed; operations rely on standard clinical and administrative tooling rather than a distinct technology stack.

Go-to-market is a hybrid direct-to-consumer and referral-driven motion, combining provider referrals (hospitals, physicians, specialists), multilingual website presence in English, Chinese, Hindi, Russian, and Spanish, community outreach centers serving as local intake hubs, employee referral programs, content marketing through a company blog, and partnerships with NYC municipal agencies. The company maintains 9 wholly owned subsidiaries organized around specific clinical and administrative service lines, supporting cross-referral and operational scale across the New York metro service area.

Revenue model

1. Government-funded home healthcare services: Americare generates the majority of its revenue through Medicaid and Medicare reimbursements for skilled nursing, home health aide, and therapy services. These are recurring, usage-based revenue tied to patient care hours and clinical service delivery.
2. Private Pay (Attencia): The company offers private-pay services under the Attencia brand, allowing patients to self-fund personalized homecare beyond what government insurance covers. This is a direct-to-consumer revenue stream based on hourly or scheduled care services.
3. Pediatric home healthcare (Amerikids / OPWDD): Specialized services for children with developmental disabilities aged 3-18, funded through the Office for People With Developmental Disabilities (OPWDD) waiver programs.
