The people who decide who gets the call
In 2024, hospitals were the referral source on 37% of Medicare home health stays, physicians on 26%, clinics on 22%, and skilled nursing facilities on 11%. Every one of those started with a person choosing which agency to call. These are the people we reach, from your profile.

Who matters depends on what you sell
A Medicare home health agency and a private pay home care agency share a hallway, not a referral list. If you could only build five relationships, this is where we'd start.
- Medicare home health
- Discharge planners and case managers, physician practices, hospital social workers, SNF and rehab social services, then Medicare Advantage care managers.
- Private pay home care
- Assisted living and wellness directors, aging life care managers, elder law attorneys, hospice teams, then hospital social workers.
- Hospice
- Physicians and practice managers, discharge planners and social workers, SNF social services, then assisted living directors.
- Medicaid home care
- Provider enrollment first. Then waiver care coordinators and the county or Area Agency on Aging office that authorizes hours.
