Q1-2022 Home Health & Hospice Update
The first quarter of 2022 marked a continuation of strong consolidation activity within the home health and hospice sectors. Both private equity firms and strategic investors remain bullish on home-based care, evidenced by several new platforms and transformational acquisitions in Q1. The most notable acquisition of the 1st quarter is United Health Group’s (UNH) acquisition of LHC Group. In the past few years, Optum has made significant investment in its at-home care programs including the launch of Optum Housecalls and acquisitions of Landmark Health, NaviHealth, AbleTo, remaining stake in Kindred, and now LHC Group. By leveraging their existing provider bases and value-based care offerings, UHG and other “payviders” are realizing tremendous synergistic value by expanding into home-based care, serving as a catalyst for continued investment activity in the sector.
