About the company
CVHCare runs a home health agency for patients recovering from illness or surgery and people managing long-term conditions in California. Its nurses treat wounds and support recovery after hospital discharge, while physical, occupational and speech therapists work on mobility, daily activities and communication. Care takes place in the patient's home, where clinicians assess recovery needs and teach family members how to support treatment and safer everyday routines. The privately owned business serves Northern and Southern California, including the San Francisco Bay Area and Los Angeles basin, through its own clinical care teams. CVHCare was founded in 2005 and is headquartered in San Ramon, California.
