Scale indicators4 records

Recent moves5 records

Expansion highlights3 records

Broad incumbents

• Amedisys Hospice: Amedisys is a national home health and hospice provider offering hospice services across the U.S. It is comparable because it competes for the same hospice patient population and discharge planner relationships, but as a large, publicly-traded, insurance-billed incumbent rather than a community-funded nonprofit comfort care home.
• Compassus: Compassus is a national hospice, palliative, and home health provider operating across multiple states. It competes for the same terminally ill patient population as House of John through professional hospice agency services, but lacks the free, facility-based comfort care home model that defines House of John.
• VITAS Healthcare: VITAS Healthcare is the largest hospice provider in the United States, offering hospice and palliative care services across a broad national footprint. It serves the same end-of-life care market as House of John but at vastly greater scale and through insurance-reimbursed hospice services rather than free community care.
• Bristol Hospice: Bristol Hospice is a national hospice and palliative care provider operating across multiple states. It is comparable as a hospice services provider serving terminally ill patients, but operates as a Medicare-certified agency rather than a free, community-funded comfort care home — making it a broader incumbent serving overlapping patient needs.
• Gentiva Hospice: Gentiva (formerly Kindred at Hospice) is a national hospice provider offering hospice and palliative care services across the United States. It serves overlapping end-of-life care needs as House of John through a Medicare-certified agency model rather than a free residential comfort care home.

Direct peers

• Hospice of the Finger Lakes: Hospice of the Finger Lakes is a regional hospice provider serving the same Finger Lakes region of New York as House of John. Comparable because it serves the same geography and patient population, accepts hospice referrals from the same hospital discharge planners, and operates a complementary residential hospice house model.
• Francis House: Francis House is a non-profit comfort care home in Syracuse, NY that provides free residential hospice care to terminally ill individuals. It is the closest operational analog to House of John: small staff, volunteer-driven, free-of-charge, facility-based residential hospice serving a similar Upstate New York population.

Others

• National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization: NHPCO is the national industry association for hospice and palliative care providers in the United States. It is comparable as the ecosystem body of which House of John is a stakeholder, providing advocacy, standards, and referral resources relevant to small non-profit comfort care homes.
