Delivers home health and hospice care services across the United States.
Amedisys, Inc., along with its subsidiaries, delivers comprehensive healthcare services across the United States. The company operates through four key segments: Home Health, Hospice, Personal Care, and High Acuity Care. The Home Health segment provides a variety of services directly in patients' homes, assisting with recovery from surgery, chronic disabilities, or terminal illnesses, and helping to prevent unnecessary hospital readmissions. This segment includes skilled nurses, rehabilitation therapists specializing in physical, speech, and occupational therapy, as well as social workers and aides who offer essential support to patients.
The Hospice segment focuses on providing comfort and support for individuals facing terminal illnesses, such as cancer, heart disease, pulmonary disease, or Alzheimer's. This segment is dedicated to improving the quality of life for patients in their final stages, ensuring they receive compassionate care tailored to their needs. Hospice services are designed to offer both medical and emotional support to patients and their families during challenging times.
In the Personal Care segment, Amedisys offers assistance with daily living activities for patients who require extra support. These services include help with bathing, dresing, meal preparation, and other essential tasks, enabling patients to maintain a higher level of independence in their own homes. This segment is crucial for individuals who need ongoing care to manage their daily routines safely and comfortably.
The High Acuity Care segment delivers essential inpatient hospital, skilled nursing facility care, and palliative care directly to patients' homes. This innovative approach allows patients with complex medical needs to receive high-quality care without the need to visit a hospital or long-term care facility. Amedisys, Inc., incorporated in 1982 and headquartered in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, continues to expand its services and adapt to the evolving needs of its patients, striving to provide the highest standard of care in the comfort of their homes.
