MECHANICSBURG, Pa. -- (Business Wire)

Celtic Hospice & Home Health, a provider of home skilled healthcare and hospice services with branch locations across eastern Pennsylvania, is now Residential Home Health and Hospice. Celtic and Residential have been working collaboratively as subsidiaries of Graham Healthcare Group since its founding in 2016.

The Pennsylvania branches of Residential Home Health and Hospice will continue to offer superior quality services, with skilled home health care, palliative care focus and hospice care provided by the same expert clinicians. Expanded programming and specialty therapies, offered by other Residential branches, are in progress in the region. The Company is proud to retain its nationwide reputation for clinical capacity, innovative offerings and unparalleled service.

“This is truly an exciting opportunity for all of us at Celtic, as well as our patients,” said Charles McDonough, vice president of operations – Pennsylvania branches. “Residential has been a top place to work and a market leader in high quality care for many years. This opportunity to partner with Residential will allow us to further our mission, beliefs and core values to be the best employer and healthcare provider in Pennsylvania.”

Melanie Mayor, director of business development and sales, said: “Combining our talent and resources under the Residential name solidifies our shared mission to put our patients first and enhances our ability to provide the best care and support for our patients and their families. Both companies bring knowledge, experience and a commitment to serve, making us stronger together.”

“We are excited about the opportunities this name change provides in streamlining operations throughout our markets and the ability to make our service area stronger than ever,” said David Curtis and Justin DeWitte, co-CEOs of Graham Healthcare Group. “We are extremely impressed with the exceptional care and results by our Pennsylvania teams and we are thrilled to be serving those communities under the Residential name. Together we will continue to ensure that all of our patients are receiving the right care at the right time.”
