Those conversations are predicated on the idea of getting new hours, new clients, new patients. So during the Jefferies presentations, I was interested to learn more about the providersâ approach to growth through another avenue: filling already-authorized hours. </p> 2351 2352 2353 2354<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The <a href="https://homehealthcarenews.com/2026/09/aveanna-sees-california-as-next-growth-driver-following-long-awaited-medicaid-rate-boost/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">top-line news</a> from the Aveanna presentation, at least to me, was the new tailwind for the companyâs California business. Aveanna CEO Jeff Shaner has previously talked to me about how the company’s California operations have suffered from a seven-year-long rate-increase drought. </p> 2355 2356 2357 2358<p class="wp-block-paragraph">âThe wage dynamics are completely out of balance with the rate,â Shaner said last December. âThat wonât change until we can get California to do a significant investment in home-based nursing.â </p> 2359 2360 2361 2362<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Aveanna is an Atlanta-based provider of pediatric and adult home health, home care and medical solutions services, operating in 32 states. </p> 2363 2364 2365 2366<p class="wp-block-paragraph">At Jefferies, Shaner said that a Medicaid rate increase, slated to go into effect on Jan. 1, 2027, means that all 32 states in which the company operates now have had meaningful rate increases. The rate hike will lead to hundreds of families able to receive care in their homes, rather than in hospitals, the CEO said. </p> 2367 2368 2369 2370<p class="wp-block-paragraph">While celebrating the California news, Aveanna leadership also addressed how the company can continue to grow once that tailwind fades. </p> 2371 2372 2373 2374<p class="wp-block-paragraph">âThat was a nice step for us, but going forward, it’s not going to be the chunky 20% increase, 30% increase,â said Aveanna CFO Matt Buckhalter. âIt’s going to be 7,10 states a year that are 4%, 7%, 8%, 10%, and every once in a while you have one that comes out of left field, as we did with Wisconsin this year. [A] 38% increase that came out of nowhere. Those are great, but now we’ve gotten to a place where we can just compete consistently.â </p> 2375 2376 2377 2378<p class="wp-block-paragraph">With more sustainable rates, but without reason to anticipate another one of those “chunky” increases anytime soon, Aveanna must grow in a different way. That’s where filling already-authorized hours comes in. </p> 2379 2380 2381 2382<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Speaking about California, Shaner said that his very first priority in the state will be to improve the companyâs fill rate within the state. </p> 2383 2384 2385 2386<p class="wp-block-paragraph">âWe’ve dropped almost down to roughly 50% of our hours actually being staffed that were authorized,â he said. âThat’s very, very low for us. So the opportunity to get those nurses that are currently working paid a higher wage, even before the rate increase goes into place, is our goal and our focus for Q4. We’ll then start applying new wage rates and recruiting and starting in January to really try to pull through new patients.â  </p> 2387 2388 2389 2390<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The rate increase allows the company to raise caregiver wages; higher wages draw new nurses; and additional nurses mean a higher fill rate. In other words, without landing a single new patient, Aveanna is positioning itself for meaningful growth simply by better serving the demand it already has on the books â a reminder that in a heavily regulated, staffing-constrained industry, capacity can be as valuable a growth lever as census. </p> 2391 2392 2393 2394<h3 id="h-technology-for-the-fill-rate-win" class="wp-block-heading">Technology for the fill rate win</h3> 2395 2396 2397 2398<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Addus is taking another approach to increasing fill rates, one that relies on taps on a caregiver’s phone. </p> 2399 2400 2401 2402<p class="wp-block-paragraph">To take better advantage of authorized hours, the companyâs leadership has bet on a caregiver app called Addus Connect, as well as other measures to improve c
2402onditions for frontline workers. Iâve written about this app before; it allows caregivers to view information like upcoming shifts and completed hours. CEO Dirk Allison has already touted slightly reduced turnover that he credits to the app. </p> 2403 2404 2405 2406<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The app also lets the provider use all its authorized hours, company leadership said at Jefferies. This is especially crucial in a rate environment that is unlikely to change meaningfully, according to Addus CFO Brian Poff. </p> 2407 2408 2409 2410<p class="wp-block-paragraph">âThere’s probably not going to be a lot of impact in increasing the total rate,â Poff said. âIt’s really going to be [an] increase in hours ⦠I wouldn’t really think of it as a margin expansion opportunity, but more so just about volume potential opportunities.â </p> 2411 2412 2413 2414<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Illinois-based Addus provides primarily personal home care as well as home health and hospice services. </p> 2415 2416 2417 2418<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In Illinois, Addusâ fill rate is currently in the upper 80%, Poff said, thanks to the caregiver app. The company next rolled the app out in Texas, and has since seen fill rate improvement there, as well. </p> 2419 2420 2421 2422<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“So I think you know our hope and our, I guess, anticipation is that as we roll this out in more states, we become more efficient,â he said. âCan we get our consolidated 84%, 85% … up into that upper 80% range?â </p> 2423 2424 2425 2426<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Taken together, these two companies illustrate two distinct paths to the same destination. Aveanna is approaching its fill-rate problem with wage increases made possible by a meaningful rate bump, while Addus is tackling the same problem through technology. Neither approach requires winning a new referral source or a new client â a notable contrast to how growth conversations in this space usually unfold. </p> 2427 2428 2429 2430<h3 id="h-the-role-of-leadership-nbsp" class="wp-block-heading"><strong>The role of leadership </strong> </h3> 2431 2432 2433 2434<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Pennant did not use the same terminology as Addus and Aveanna. The concept of âauthorized hoursâ is a Medicaid term. But Pennant leadership did directly support the core underlying principle at play for Aveanna and Addus: growth is not constrained by a lack of patient demand. </p> 2435 2436 2437 2438<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Leadership framed the company’s staffing and clinical-capacity constraints not as a limitation, but as a solvable problem â one rooted in culture rather than reimbursement. </p> 2439 2440 2441 2442<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“We are a leadership company first,â said Pennant CEO Brent Guerisoli. “The reason for that is we fundamentally believe [that] if we have the right leaders in place in our local operations, they’re going to create an environment where employees want to work, and by extension, we’ll have opportunities to serve the communities in a greater way.â </p> 2443 2444 2445 2446<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Eagle, Idaho-based Pennant provides home health, hospice, senior living and home care services. </p> 2447 2448 2449 2450<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I was glad Guerisoli raised the company’s underlying approach to improving staffing. It’s easy to say that the key to solving a recruitment or retention problem is becoming an employer of choice. But his framing â that the company’s entire growth thesis starts with leadership, not with a specific tactic or technology â offers other providers a useful note to reflect on: whether their leadership is fostering the kind of environment people want to work within, whether leaders need additional support, or whether new leaders are needed. </p> 2451 2452 2453 2454<p class="wp-block-paragraph">As always, the takeaways from what these large providers discuss often serve as important tips or thought exercises for providers of a variety of sizes and services. To underscore what I heard from these panels: when rates or other important elements appear static, the real growth opportunity lies in unlocking capacity that’s already sitting on the table â capacity constrained by staffing and clinical bandwidth, rather than a lack of patient demand. </p> 2455</div><!-- .entry-content --> 2456 2457<div class="share-block-holder-bottom mobile-only"> 2458 2459<div class="share-block"> 2460 2461 <h3 class="section-title">Share</h3> 2462 2463 <ul class="share-buttons"> 2464 <li class="share-facebook"> 2465 <a href="https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fhomehealthcarenews.com%2F2026%2F09%2Fwhat-aveanna-addus-and-pennant-revealed-about-growth-beyond-new-referrals%2F"e=What%20Aveanna%2C%20Addus%20And%20Pennant%20Revealed%20About%20Growth%20Beyond%20New%20Referrals" target="_blank" title="Share on Facebook"> 2466 <span class="screen-reader-text">Facebook</span> 2467 <svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="0 0 264 512" height="16" class="icon icon-facebook"><path d="M76.7 512V283H0v-91h76.7v-71.7C76.7 42.4 124.3 0 193.8 0c33.3 0 61.9 2.5 70.2 3.6V85h-48.2c-37.8 0-45.1 18-45.1 44.3V192H256l-11.7 91h-73.6v229"/></svg> </a> 2468 </li> 2469 <li class="share-twitter"> 2470 <a href="https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?source=https%3A%2F%2Fhomehealthcarenews.com%2F2026%2F09%2Fwhat-aveanna-addus-and-pennant-revealed-about-growth-beyond-new-referrals%2F&text=What%20Aveanna%2C%20Addus%20And%20Pennant%20Revealed%20About%20Growth%20Beyond%20New%20Referrals:%20https%3A%2F%2Fhomehealthcarenews.com%2F2026%2F09%2Fwhat-aveanna-addus-and-pennant-revealed-about-growth-beyond-new-referrals%2F" target="_blank" title="Tweet"> 2471 <span class="screen-reader-text">Twitter</span> 2472 <svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="0 0 512 512" height="16" class="icon icon-twitter"><!--!Font Awesome Free 6.7.1 by @fontawesome - https://fontawesome.com License - https://fontawesome.com/license/free Copyright 2024 Fonticons, Inc.--><path d="M389.2 48h70.6L305.6 224.2 487 464H345L233.7 318.6 106.5 464H35.8L200.7 275.5 26.8 48H172.4L272.9 180.9 389.2 48zM364.4 421.8h39.1L151.1 88h-42L364.4 421.8z"/></svg> </a> 2473 </li> 2474 <li class="share-linkedin"> 2475 <a href="http://www.linkedin.com/shareArticle?mini=true&url=https%3A%2F%2Fhomehealthcarenews.com%2F2026%2F09%2Fwhat-aveanna-addus-and-pennant-revealed-about-growth-beyond-new-referrals%2F&title=What%20Aveanna%2C%20Addus%20And%20Pennant%20Revealed%20About%20Growth%20Beyond%20New%20Referrals&summary=Last%20week%2C%20several%20large%2C%20publicly%20traded%20home-based%20care%20providers%20took%20the%20stage%20at%20the%202026%20Jefferies%20Healthcare%2
