Pointe Coupee

What Pointe Coupee does

Pointe Coupee Homebound Health and Hospice (PCHHH) is a parish-owned, non-profit healthcare agency headquartered at 350 Hospital Road in New Roads, Louisiana, operating under the Pointe Coupee Health Services District (formerly Pointe Coupee Hospital Service District). The organization was established in 1984 as a home health agency and expanded in 2001 to add a dedicated hospice program, giving it 40+ years of continuous service in rural south-central Louisiana. Both divisions are Medicare- and Medicaid-certified and accept private insurance, and care is delivered across Pointe Coupee Parish and parts of four adjacent parishes (Iberville, Avoyelles, West Baton Rouge, West Feliciana), covering 26 named communities; care is provided in private homes, nursing homes, assisted living facilities, and at Pointe Coupee General Hospital for inpatient hospice. Core clinical offerings include nursing care, physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, medical social work, and home health aide services on the home health side, with end-of-life medical, emotional, and spiritual support on the hospice side; a free Pointe Coupee Nutrition Program with a Registered and Licensed Nutritionist and Certified Diabetes Educator serves as a chronic-disease adjunct.

The organization differentiates through clinical specialization (VitalStim Plus electrotherapy with sEMG biofeedback for dysphagia, negative pressure wound therapy, IV therapy, vestibular rehabilitation, and Advanced Illness Management for diabetes, CHF, COPD, Alzheimer's, and Parkinson's) and through sustained quality recognition, including HHCAHPS Honors Elite awards in 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2022, and 2025 from HEALTHCAREfirst (and predecessor Deyta Analytics), plus Louisiana Home Health Capstone Quality (2010), Hospice Honors Elite (2021), and multiple LMHPCO Heart of Hospice recognitions. A separately incorporated 501(c)(3) affiliate, the Pointe Coupee Health Services Foundation (established 2008), administers five charitable funds including the Janell LaCombe Cancer Fund (over $1M distributed to local families) and medical career scholarships.

The business model is reimbursement-driven: home health and hospice visits are billed to Medicare, Medicaid, and private insurance under standard PPS/Medicare Hospice Benefit terms; the nutrition program is free to participants; charitable donations flow through the foundation. Go-to-market is sales-led and community-led, anchored by physician and facility referrals, hospital discharge planner relationships, self-referral, and word-of-mouth in a five-parish rural catchment, supported by a website, Facebook, Instagram, community events, and patient testimonials. The agency has 11-50 employees with average staff tenure above 10 years and is led by an LCSW Administrator, two Medical Directors, two RN Directors of Nursing, a Registered Dietitian, a Certified Diabetes Educator, an Office Manager, a Liaison, and a Volunteer Coordinator.

Scale indicators6 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Broad incumbents

• Amedisys: Large national home health, hospice, and high-acuity care operator (now going private under UnitedHealth Group). Directly overlaps with Pointe Coupee's home health and hospice services across Louisiana, but operates at vastly greater scale and serves urban/suburban markets primarily.
• LHC Group (Optum): National home health and hospice provider acquired by Optum. Has strong Louisiana presence and competes for the same referral channels (physicians, hospitals, discharge planners) as Pointe Coupee, but with far greater scale, technology investment, and back-office resources.
• BrightSpring Health Services: Diversified home and community health platform offering home health, hospice, pharmacy, and behavioral health services. Overlaps with Pointe Coupee in home health and hospice but with a much broader portfolio and national footprint.

Direct peers

• Aveanna Healthcare: Large home health and hospice operator with significant pediatric home health exposure. Provides adult home health and hospice services in markets overlapping with Pointe Coupee, with greater scale and capital access.
• The Pennant Group: Operates home health, hospice, and senior living agencies with a deliberate focus on small-town and rural communities — closely mirroring Pointe Coupee's rural parish-based model. Public company with active de novo and tuck-in acquisition strategy in similar markets.
• VITAS Healthcare (Chemed): Largest hospice provider in the United States, operated as a division of Chemed Corp. National hospice operator with hospice as its sole focus, directly comparable to Pointe Coupee's hospice service line.
• Addus HomeCare: Public provider of personal care, home health, and hospice services with strong presence in Medicaid-funded home and community-based services. Competes with Pointe Coupee for Medicaid and dual-eligible patients needing in-home support.
• Enhabit: Public home health and hospice operator spun off from Encompass Health in 2022. Operates a network of home health and hospice agencies across the South, including Louisiana, providing the same dual home health and hospice service model that Pointe Coupee offers.
• Help at Home: Personal care and home health services provider focused on Medicaid-funded in-home care for the elderly and disabled. Operates in similar low-acuity, Medicaid-heavy patient populations as Pointe Coupee's home health aide and personal care attendant services.

Regional players

• National HealthCare Corporation: Operates skilled nursing facilities and assisted living communities across the Southeast, with affiliated home health and hospice services. Comparable to Pointe Coupee's model of serving patients across home health, hospice, and facility-based settings within a defined regional footprint.
