Essen House Calls is now rebranded as Intention Health Care

Same team. Same care. New name.

About Intention Health Care

Founded on the belief that the best care happens at home, Intention Health Care brings physician-led clinical teams directly to patients who need it most.

Our Story

Intention Health Care, formerly known as Essen House Calls, was founded in 2005 to bring physician-led medical care directly into the homes of New York's most vulnerable patients. Vesta Healthcare was founded in 2018 to make aides and caregivers part of the care team. The Intention Health Care brand was launched in 2025 when Essen House Calls and Vesta Health Care merged, creating a comprehensive national home-based care model.

Why Intention Health Care

Unlike traditional home health, we don't just visit — we stay connected. Our physician-led teams use real-time health data, remote monitoring, and direct communication channels to intervene early, prevent crises, and coordinate across the full care team. The result: better outcomes, lower costs, and patients who stay home — where they belong.

Proven Outcomes

Our model delivers measurable results: reduced emergency department utilization, fewer inpatient admissions, improved quality scores, and higher member retention for health plans. We align incentives across providers, agencies, and payers to create shared accountability for patient outcomes.
