Segment Information

11. Segment Information

The Company’s segments consist of home health services, hospice services, community-based services, and facility-based services. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies.

During the first quarter of 2015, the Company had a change in the composition of segments due to the community-based services meeting the criteria of qualitative thresholds established by ASC 280, Segment Reporting. Prior period segment data has been restated to reflect the newly reportable segment. Community-based services were previously included in home-based services.

The following tables summarize the Company’s segment information for the twelve months ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013 (amounts in thousands):
