xpath help

I'm having difficulty with an Xpath on an XML document (snippet below) that 
contains a default namespace.

If I remove the default namespace, this Xpath produces the desired result: 
//li[a[@href[contains(.,'aplushomecare.org')]]].  Essentially, i want a 'li' 
element if its contains an 'a' element with a href attribute that contains 
the desired text.

I tried 
//*[local-name()='li'][local-name()='a'][@href[contains(.,'aplushomecare.org')]], 
but it returns no nodes.

Any assistance would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Craig Buchanan
