Gentiva is the largest provider of hospice, palliative care, and home health services in the United States, operating more than 500 locations across 37 states. The organisation employs over 10,000 associates and delivers services through a family of regional brands, including Gentiva Hospice, Heartland Hospice, SouthernCare, Regency SouthernCare, New Century Hospice, Hospice Plus, Emerald Coast Hospice Care, Empatia Palliative Care, Illumia Health, and Heartland Home Health.
The company's three core service lines address distinct but related patient needs. Hospice care focuses on comfort, dignity, and respect for patients at end of life, delivered by multidisciplinary teams comprising nurses, physicians, social workers, aides, chaplains, and volunteers. Palliative care extends physical, emotional, and spiritual support to patients and families managing life-limiting illnesses at any stage. Home health services provide clinical and supportive care in patients' homes to aid recovery from medical challenges.
Gentiva holds accreditation from the Accreditation Commission for Health Care (ACHC) and has received 4- and 5-star ratings from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), as well as Hospice CAHPS Honors for patient experience. Care teams work from personalised care plans that are adapted as patient needs change.
With a workforce spanning clinical, administrative, and support roles across a broad national footprint, Gentiva's scale reflects both the breadth of its geographic reach and the variety of specialisms involved in end-of-life and home-based care.
