A New Jersey-based medical group, Honor Health Network, is under scrutiny for overseeing approximately $950 million in potentially fraudulent Medicaid billing related to home health care and adult day care services, according to an investigation by the New York Post.
One of Honor Health Network's operations, Broadway Respite and Home Care in Fair Lawn, N.J., alone billed Medicaid an estimated $157 million between 2018 and 2024, serving a reported 89,000 unique patients. This figure is notably high given that the entire county has approximately 20,000 elderly Medicaid recipients. Another entity, Broadway Adult Day Care, billed $40 million during the same period for 28,000 patients.
Two Brooklyn-based entities under the Honor Health Network umbrella, Quality Healthcare and Quality Family Care, collectively billed an estimated $396 million from 2018 to 2024. Federal spending data from medicaidspending.org shows these agencies used single billing codes for over two million claims, a pattern that a former Medicaid fraud investigator noted could indicate fraudulent activity.
Complaints have also surfaced regarding the quality of care provided. Serena Abekassis, an 80-year-old former client of Quality Healthcare, alleged that her care workers were incompetent and aggressive, failing to assist with basic needs like personal hygiene and food. Her children corroborated these claims, describing the aides as "like homeless people from the street."
Honor Health Network, which states it has over 10,000 employees and serves patients in eight states and Washington D.C., has not responded to requests for comment regarding these allegations. The company's website indicates it operates several other businesses in New Jersey, including Always Home Services, Just Home Day Care, and Best Home Care, which have also billed millions in Medicaid funds.
Federal authorities have previously flagged the home care industry as susceptible to scams. In October 2026, federal agents conducted raids on adult daycare centers in Brooklyn, Queens, and Staten Island as part of a large-scale Medicaid fraud investigation involving allegations of money laundering and kickbacks. Previous Post investigations have also highlighted significant losses in New York's Medicaid programs due to fraud and mismanagement.
A former owner of Broadway Respite and Broadway Adult Day Care, Errol Seltzer, who sold the companies in 2012, suggested that the motivation for some providers may have shifted from service provision to financial gain. He noted that the home care industry can be seen as a "cash cow."
