Essen House Calls is now rebranded as Intention Health Care
Same team. Same care. New name.
Intention Health Care delivers physician-led clinical teams — in collaboration with care already in place — directly to the homes of patients who can't easily get to a doctor's office, improving outcomes and keeping people at home.
24/7 clinical support. Real-time monitoring. One coordinated team. Contact us to learn how we can help.
We built Intention Health Care to solve the biggest challenges in home-based care.
In available markets, our physicians and nurse practitioners visit patients at home — conducting full clinical evaluations, ordering labs, adjusting medications, and creating care plans. No waiting rooms. No transportation. Real medicine, where you live. In all markets, 24x7 personalized virtual is available.
We work directly with your existing home health aides, agencies and caregivers — sharing care plans, looping them into clinical updates, and training them to recognize warning signs early. Your aide becomes a clinical partner, not a bystander.
FDA-cleared devices track blood pressure, oxygen, glucose, and weight continuously — sending live data to our clinical team. We detect changes before they become crises, so we intervene early instead of reacting to emergencies.
When your condition changes, we come to you. IV fluids, antibiotics, acute evaluations, wound care — delivered at home by our clinical team, 24/7. For many patients, this means avoiding an ER visit or hospital stay entirely. Available in select service areas.

Patient NPS
“Intention has been excellent in caring for my dad who is homebound. I highly recommend them.”
“Intention Health helped me get through some of the toughest forms and medical records that I needed urgently for my insurance and my doctors. Their exams were thorough and got me processed as quickly as I needed it and I appreciate that.”
Care that meets you where you are — at home
A patient is referred by their provider, family, health plan, or agency. We assess their needs and build a personalized care plan that includes their caregivers. Or call us directly at 844-262-5700 to schedule an appointment.
A dedicated physician-led team is assigned — including a nurse, care coordinator, and home health partners — tailored to the patient's clinical needs.
We install remote monitoring devices, connect with health information exchanges, and establish communication channels with the patient, caregivers, and existing providers — allowing us to understand what is happening at home and avoid health events.
Our team provides 24/7 clinical support — proactively checking in, responding to health changes, adjusting care plans, and coordinating with the full care ecosystem.
We track outcomes in real time and coordinate with providers and health plans to assure care needs are met and the highest quality care is delivered.
Every step is designed to keep patients safe at home, reduce avoidable utilization, and improve clinical outcomes.
Intention Health Care provides a comprehensive suite of home-based clinical services — all coordinated by a physician-led team.
We can serve as your primary care provider, or work alongside your existing doctor to fill the gaps. Regular visits, prescriptions, lab work, and care planning — all in your home or via telehealth.
Going home after a hospitalization can be overwhelming. We visit in collaboration with your home care within days of discharge — making sure you have everything you need, reviewing your medications, checking in on your recovery, and making sure nothing falls through the cracks.
Blood draws, urinalysis, EKGs, x-rays, and ultrasounds can all be arranged in your home or nearby (in select markets).
When something changes — a fall, a fever, worsening symptoms — our team responds. IV fluids, antibiotics, acute evaluations, and wound care can all be delivered at home, helping you avoid an unnecessary ER visit (in select markets).
Depression, anxiety, and emotional health are part of overall wellness. Our behavioral health team screens for mental health needs and provides support via telehealth — coordinated directly with your medical care plan.
Specialized care for patients living with dementia and their families, through the CMS GUIDE program. Includes regular home visits, a dedicated care navigator, caregiver education, and access to respite services.
FDA-cleared devices track your vitals continuously — blood pressure, oxygen, glucose, and weight — sending live data to our team. We catch warning signs early and reach out before small changes become serious problems.
We work directly with your home health aides and family caregivers — sharing updates, providing guidance, and making sure everyone caring for you is working from the same plan.
All services are delivered in the home, coordinated by a physician-led team, and designed to keep patients safe, healthy, and out of the hospital.
Intention Health Care works across the care ecosystem — connecting patients, caregivers, providers, agencies, and health plans.
