Advanced Health Care

What Advanced Health Care does

Advanced Health Care is a licensed, family-owned home health care agency headquartered in Tacoma, Washington, founded in 1984 by Ron and Pat Bode to provide private-duty in-home care to residents of the South Puget Sound region. The company operates two physical offices — in Tacoma (9116 Gravelly Lake Dr SW) and Olympia (3773-A Martin Way East) — and delivers services across Pierce, Thurston, and King counties, including Lakewood, Puyallup, and Federal Way. It has served as a continuously operating regional provider for over 40 years, completing a generational ownership transition in 2021 to an all-female trio (Julie Ferguson, Sharla Bode, and Lynessa Stone) while founder Ron Bode retains a Board/President role.

The company's core service portfolio spans Home Care Caregivers (personal care, companionship, meal prep, medication reminders), Home Care Skilled Nursing (RN/LPN clinical services including wound care, diabetic care, infusion therapies), Post-Surgery and Recovery Care, and a dedicated Memory Care line for Alzheimer's and dementia patients. All services are delivered under direct registered nurse supervision, beginning with a complimentary initial RN assessment and continuing with follow-up nursing visits every 30–60 days. A wholly-owned subsidiary, ProCare Academy of Washington (founded 2010), operates as a CNA training school and supplies the agency with a captive pipeline of credentialed caregivers, with discounted or free tuition offered to AHC employees.

Revenue is generated primarily through private-pay hourly and per-visit billing (ranging from a 2-hour minimum to continuous 24-hour care), with partial reimbursement from long-term care insurance, state workers' compensation, VA benefit programs, and third-party payors such as trusts and guardians. The go-to-market motion is direct-to-consumer, supported by a 24/7 phone intake line (1-800-690-3330), an educational blog and Facebook presence, healthcare provider referral networks, and community event sponsorships (Alzheimer's Walk, Parkinson's APDA Northwest events). The company has accumulated multiple Best of Home Care awards from Home Care Pulse between 2018 and 2026 across Employer of Choice, Provider of Choice, and Leader in Experience categories, as well as a BBB A+ rating. Specific pricing is not publicly disclosed and is quoted upon request based on location, time of service, and care specialty.
