24 Hour Home Care to Lay Off 738 Employees Following Health Net Contract Loss
24 Hour Home Care will lay off 738 employees effective September 15, 2026, according to a California WARN notice. The layoffs result from Health Net's planned discontinuation of personal care and homemaker services. The workforce reduction affects a home care provider serving Medicaid beneficiaries who rely on personal care services, typically covered under LTSS benefits in managed care contracts. The layoffs signal potential network adequacy concerns for Health Net's Medicaid line of business if personal care services are not transitioned to alternative providers.
Why it mattersThe layoffs may create immediate network adequacy and continuity of care issues for Medicaid managed long-term services and supports beneficiaries currently receiving personal care services through 24 Hour Home Care under Health Net contracts.
