ARLINGTON, Virginia—Ennoble Care, a home-based primary, palliative and hospice care provider, published its 2026 Quality and Outcomes Report, highlighting reductions in hospitalizations, improved quality of life and lower costs.
Key findings from the 2026 Quality and Outcomes Report include:
- Ennoble Care patients had 25% fewer hospitalizations in year one after enrollment.
- Ennoble Care patients had 63% fewer hospitalizations in year two after enrollment.
- Ennoble Care patients' Medicare hospital spend is approximately $500 per member per month by year two, compared to nearly double that figure for comparable homebound Medicare patients.
- Ennoble Care patients have an average risk score of approximately 2.2, versus the national Medicare average of 1.0.
- 29% of Ennoble Care patients are dually eligible for Medicaid versus 14% nationally.
Despite this higher acuity patient population, 90% of Ennoble Care patients maintain blood sugar control (A1c less than 9%). - Further, 72% of Ennoble Care patients avoid high blood pressure readings, matching national fee-for-service averages.
In the report, Ennoble Care Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Kush Das and Chief Operating Officer Molly Viscardi described seeing the same failure early in their careers from opposite ends of an ambulance ride—Das as an emergency medical services provider bringing frail, elderly patients to the emergency room, and Viscardi meeting those same patients when they arrived at the hospital, first as a rehabilitation facility nursing assistant and later as an emergency room nurse.
"We ran the same calls again and again from frail older patients, often living alone, going to the emergency room for problems that had been building for weeks," said Das. "By the time the ambulance arrived, the window for a better answer had closed. Ennoble Care was built to be present before the crisis."
"I met those same patients on the other side of that ambulance ride, admitting people who needed a home visit, not a lengthy hospital stay," said Viscardi. "Our clinicians are in patients' homes many times a year and sometimes multiple times a month. That proximity, combined with care coordination, remote monitoring and a team that follows patients across primary care, palliative care and hospice, is how we catch problems while they're still manageable."
"Our mission is to provide individualized care that goes beyond medical treatment," added Das. "We pride ourselves in being a support system for our patients and their loved ones during a vulnerable time in their lives."
