We are building a scalable solution to one of healthcare’s most overlooked gaps.

Healthcare systems face rising costs, poor long-term outcomes, fragmented care, and underserved Medi-Cal populations with limited recovery access.

New Start Health Enterprises is creating a cost-effective, outcomes-driven long-term recovery model that improves continuity of care, expands rehabilitation access, and supports medically complex populations often underserved by traditional systems.

How We Help

Better Long-Term Outcomes

Continued rehabilitation and stabilization improve independence and reduce avoidable decline.

Reduced System Burden

Proper continuity care lowers readmissions and long-term institutional costs.

Equity in Access

Medi-Cal and underserved populations deserve meaningful recovery opportunities.

Innovation in Care Delivery

Our model fills the gap between acute care, long-term support, and reintegration.

This part of healthcare is broken—and long-term recovery requires a new model.

We are building infrastructure for lifelong recovery, not temporary stabilization.

Where the system falls short

The system-level gaps our model is designed to close.

  • Rising healthcare costs
  • Readmissions
  • Long-term disability dependence
  • Lack of rehabilitation access
  • Medi-Cal inequities
  • Institutionalization
  • Fragmented care systems

Trevor’s story

After his injury, Trevor’s only option was a long-term nursing home — the kind of place where young people are too often confined to a bed and denied any real chance at recovery or a meaningful quality of life.

A year and a half ago, Trevor’s mom found New Start, a licensed Congregate Living Health Facility (CLHF). Today he lives in a beautiful home in the community, with the skilled nursing care he needs and the chance to rebuild a life worth living.

Trevor, his mom Karen, and New Start owner and administrator Sian Welch traveled to Capitol Hill to advocate for people living with catastrophic disability — and to fight for one thing: choice. When lawmakers meet Trevor, they cannot ignore what is at stake.

For more than 40 years, New Start has operated without a single increase in Medi-Cal funding for its patients. Small providers don’t have big lobbyists or pay-to-play politics; bringing living proof of what is possible is our most powerful tool.

A life without hope is not a life worth living.
