Product
Comprehensive Hospice and Palliative Care
VITAS delivers end-of-life care—medical, emotional, spiritual—via interdisciplinary teams of physicians, nurses, and social workers, treating roughly 60,000 patients annually across Chemed; revenue from hospice rose 4.2% in FY2024, driven by high-acuity cases. By late 2025 the strategy stays on high-acuity care and sustaining CMS quality scores (VITAS reported a 4.6/5 net promoter–style rating in 2024) to protect patient dignity and payer contracts.
Residential and Commercial Plumbing Services
Roto-Rooter provides plumbing services from leak fixes to sewer replacements, serving homeowners and commercial clients across North America; in 2024 the Chemed segment reported about $1.2 billion in service revenue, up ~3% year-over-year. The mix of residential and commercial jobs yields high recurring demand—industry repair spend ~ $110 billion annually in the US (2023 BEA-related estimate). Reliable emergency and maintenance work cushions revenue versus economic cycles, keeping utilization and technician billable hours steady near 85%.
Emergency Water Restoration Solutions
Roto-Rooter offers emergency water restoration—water extraction, industrial drying, and sanitizing—to limit property loss after floods or pipe bursts, extending beyond basic plumbing.
By 2025 this high-margin segment drives growth for Chemed’s Roto-Rooter business; restoration services accounted for roughly 18% of segment revenue in 2024 and grew ~12% YoY.
Specialized Medical Programs
VITAS differentiates via specialized medical programs—continuous care and bereavement support—that address complex end-of-life needs and include 24-hour nursing when medically necessary, helping sustain clinical leadership in hospice.
In 2024 VITAS served ~70,000 patients nationally; hospice revenue for parent Chemed (ticker: CHE) was $1.9B in FY2024, with VITAS driving ~85% of hospice admissions and higher-margin services.
- Continuous care: 24-hour nursing when needed

Roto-Rooter’s drain cleaning and preventative maintenance are core to Chemed’s offering, using proprietary equipment to clear 95% of complex blockages and reducing emergency callouts by about 28% for customers on plans (Chemed Q4 2025 service metrics).
Regular inspections and cleanings cut average repair costs by an estimated $420 per year per account and support recurring revenue—preventative plans accounted for roughly 18% of service revenue in 2025.
- Proprietary equipment: clears 95% complex blockages
