On February 23, Amedisys, Inc., a leading provider of quality home health, hospice, personal care and high-acuity care, announced it has signed a definitive agreement to acquire certain home health assets from AssistedCare Home Health, Inc. and RH Homecare Services, LLC, doing business as AssistedCare Home Health and AssistedCare of the Carolinas, respectively. The transaction is expected to close on or around April 1, 2022.
AssistedCare Home Health was founded in 1994 by its current CEO, Russell Herring. Today the company provides an extensive range of in-home services throughout eastern North Carolina, including home health and long-term at home care.
Doing business as AssistedCare of the Carolinas, RH Homecare Services, LLC is a senior home health care company based in Snow Hill, North Carolina. Since its founding in 2013, AssistedCare of the Carolinas has been providing personal home care services and in-home health services to senior clientele throughout the Snow Hill area.
Together, the AssistedCare companies care for more than 450 home health patients daily and employ approximately 100 employees in Leland and Snow Hill, North Carolina.
With approximately 20,000 employees, in 530 care centers in 38 states and the District of Columbia, Amedisys is dedicated to delivering the highest quality of care to the doorsteps of more than 445,000 patients in need every year, performing more than 11.5 million visits annually. Post-closing, Amedisys’ home health operations will include 350 care centers in 34 states and the District of Columbia, with an average daily census of approximately 74,000 patients and approximately 11,000 home health employees.
While AssistedCare’s home health care services will transition to Amedisys Home Health, their personal care services will remain with Eldercare at Home, and their Intellectual & Developmental Disabilities and Private Duty Nursing services will remain operational as AssistedCare, Inc., and will not be included in the transaction.
Once the agreement is complete, this acquisition will increase Amedisys’ home health access to more than 1.5 million Medicare enrollees and more than 540,000 Medicare Advantage enrollees in North Carolina. Post-closing, Amedisys will be able to provide both home health and hospice services to more communities across North Carolina, including those in and around Wilmington and Greenville, furthering its strategy to become the solution for those who want to age in place in North Carolina.
