Why sell your
Non-Medical Home Care
business?
Non-medical home care is riding a demand wave that shows no sign of slowing. Seniors overwhelmingly want to age in their own homes, and that preference is driving steady growth in private pay and waiver funded hours across nearly every market. Buyers have noticed. Private equity backed platforms and larger franchise groups are actively rolling up independent agencies to build density in local markets, and they pay premium multiples for agencies with reliable caregiver retention and a loyal referral base. Because home care needs little real estate or heavy equipment, margins can be strong and buyers move quickly on clean books. A wave of agency founders is also approaching retirement, so more businesses will hit the market soon and competition among sellers will rise. Selling ahead of that gives you cleaner terms and more suitors. Caregiver recruiting and scheduling technology keep demanding investment, and a buyer is often better positioned to fund it. If retirement or simply capturing the value you have built is on your mind, this is a strong moment to move.

We’re here to answer your questions.
Here's where we answer the most common questions about
Non-Medical Home Care
How is my home care agency valued?
Non-medical home care agencies are valued on a multiple of SDE, typically 3.0x to 5.0x. Recurring private pay hours, diverse referrals, and a stable W-2 caregiver base drive the higher end.
This is different from home health, right?
Yes. Non-medical home care provides companion and daily living support, not skilled clinical care. It is valued on recurring client hours and staffing stability and is distinct from the Medicare-driven home health and hospice category.
How do I handle caregiver turnover for buyers?
Documented retention programs, competitive pay, and reliable scheduling are the strongest tools. We present your caregiver stability as a strategic asset rather than an unaddressed concern.
Should my caregivers be W-2 or 1099?
Buyers strongly prefer W-2. Misclassification creates legal liability in many states. We help you assess and address classification before going to market to protect your value.
How long does it take to sell a home care agency?
Most deals close in 4 to 9 months. Agencies with recurring hours, diverse referrals, and W-2 staffing tend to move faster.
