Amedisys, Inc., along with its various subsidiaries, delivers a spectrum of healthcare solutions throughout the United States. Its operations are structured across four distinct divisions: Home Health, Hospice, Personal Care, and High Acuity Care. The Home Health segment furnishes a diverse array of services provided within individuals' residences. These services support patients in their recovery from surgeries, chronic ailments, or serious illnesses, and also aim to minimize preventable hospital readmissions.

The Hospice division is dedicated to offering comfort and empathetic support to those facing a terminal illness, encompassing conditions like cancer, heart disease, pulmonary disease, or Alzheimer's. Within the Personal Care segment, patients receive assistance with their routine daily activities. Finally, the High Acuity Care segment extends crucial elements of inpatient hospital care, skilled nursing facility services, and palliative care directly to patients within their own homes. As of December 31, 2021, the company maintained a network comprising 331 home health centers, 175 hospice care centers, 14 personal-care facilities, and 8 high acuity care centers.
