On May 15, Guardian Pharmacy Services announced that it purchased Senior Care Pharmacy for an undisclosed price.
Senior Care Pharmacy is a long-term care (LTC) specialty pharmacy based in Wichita, Kansas. It serves a range of communities, including LTC facilities, assisted living, group homes, home health and mental health.
Headquartered in Atlanta, Guardian Pharmacy Services is one of the nation’s largest LTC pharmacy companies. Guardian’s pharmacies provide client services and resident care to LTC communities, including assisted living and skilled nursing, group home, behavioral health and to organizations that serve individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. It was founded in 2004.
With the addition of the Wichita location, Guardian now operates two pharmacies in Kansas – Kansas City and Wichita – enhancing its ability to support LTC communities across the state. Senior Care Pharmacy will continue operating under its existing name, with its local leadership team and entire staff. The financial terms were not disclosed.
“This acquisition marks another important milestone in our growth strategy and reflects the success Michael Counts and his team have achieved in the Midwest,” said Fred Burke, president and CEO of Guardian Pharmacy Services. “By combining their expertise and resources with the strength of the local Wichita team, we’re ensuring more residents in LTC communities across Kansas receive the high-quality, personalized care that is the Guardian difference.”
According to data in the LevinPro HC database, this transaction marks the 12th Specialty Pharmacy transaction of the year. In 2024, 28 Specialty Pharmacy acquisitions were reported.
