Overview
Mission
Butte Home Health and Hospice exists to serve our community by helping individuals live safely at home with comfort, independence, and dignity. We are committed to delivering the highest standards of care, grounded in compassion, excellence, and reliability for every patient and family we serve.
What it reported doing in 2024
Butte Home Health provides compassionate, interdisciplinary hospice care across five counties in Northern California, serving more than 600 patients and their families during the fiscal year. Services include skilled nursing, home health aide support, chaplain and spiritual care, medical social services, physician oversight, rehabilitative therapies (including physical and speech therapy), and volunteer support. Care is focused on comfort, dignity, and quality of life for individuals with serious illness. Additionally, the agency expanded in-person grief and loss support groups in both Chico and Oroville, extending bereavement services to the broader community.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Other-operating. 99% of the money available for current operations came from other operating revenue.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
The verdict
SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
