Interim HealthCare Inc., a national leader in home care, senior care, home health, hospice and healthcare staffing services, announced its third acquisition of 2021 with the purchase of Interim HealthCare of Sacramento Hospice in California.

First opened 46 years ago, Interim HealthCare of Sacramento Hospice provides a holistic approach to hospice care centered around comfort, compassion and support for loved ones and their families. David Klaeser has owned the California-based franchise since 2007 and will continue to lead the company in the role of CEO following the acquisition.

Interim HealthCare is a national network of home care, hospice and health staffing franchises. The only major franchise brand in its category to offer the full continuum of care, the company strives to improve the delivery of home healthcare and staffing services through 330 plus locations servicing the United States and Saudi Arabia. Interim’s parent company is Caring Brands, backed by private equity firm Wellspring Capital Management.

This marks Interim HealthCare’s third franchise acquisition this year, following the acquisitions of Interim HealthCare of the Treasure Coast in November and Interim HealthCare of San Diego in January. The company’s movement toward a hybrid model of both franchises and company-owned branches represents its overarching goal to expand its reach to be able to serve more individuals in need around the country.

According to an Interim HealthCare survey, 67% of Americans have thought differently about their own healthcare options or those of a loved one because of the pandemic. As a result, in-home care services are seeing an uptick in interest due in part to the growing aging population and the number of individuals living with comorbid conditions. Interim HealthCare continues to meet the growing demand for in-home care services with its strategic acquisitions, recruiting efforts and industry advocacy work to ensure all individuals have access to the superior services that home healthcare provides.
