WellSpring Home Health Care and Hospice

What WellSpring Home Health Care and Hospice does

WellSpring Home Health Care and Hospice is a privately held, family-owned provider of in-home and facility-based healthcare services headquartered in Lorain, Ohio. The company operates four integrated service lines: Home Health (skilled nursing, therapy, home health aides, medical social work, wound care, and medication management delivered in patients' homes, apartments, independent living, or assisted living settings); Hospice (24/7 RN-led, four-level end-of-life care including routine, respite, general inpatient, and continuous care, plus bereavement and volunteer services); Staffing (placement of RNs, LPNs, and State Tested Nursing Assistants to senior care facilities with flexible scheduling and temp-to-hire options); and Certified Nurse Practitioners (on-site medical care in skilled nursing, assisted living, rehabilitation, and addiction treatment facilities). Geographic coverage spans 13 Ohio counties: Ashland, Cuyahoga, Erie, Geauga, Huron, Lake, Lorain, Medina, Portage, Sandusky, Stark, Summit, and Wayne.

Revenue is generated primarily through fee-for-service home health and hospice care reimbursed by Medicare Part A, Medicaid, and most private insurance plans, supplemented by staffing fees charged to partner facilities and CNP service arrangements with senior care providers. Patient and family acquisition runs through a direct-to-consumer model (website, 1-888-4WELL4U, and email referrals), a referral channel from hospitals, physicians, and skilled nursing facilities, and community engagement via the "We Honor Veterans" partnership with the National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization and the Department of Veterans Affairs. No revenue, funding, ownership, or M&A information is publicly disclosed; the company is family-controlled with no identified institutional investors.

Broad incumbents

• LHC Group (Optum): LHC Group, now part of UnitedHealth's Optum, operates a national network of home health, hospice, and home-based care agencies.
