Frontline Healthcare Partners acquires Integracare

Private equity firm Frontline Healthcare Partners has acquired home-based care provider Integracare.

Following the acquisition, Toronto, Ontario-based Integracare plans to expand into the U.S., Lee Grunberg, president and CEO of Integracare, told Home Health Care News.

“Integracare has successfully completed and integrated four acquisitions over the last few years and is now one of the largest exclusively private pay home care companies in Canada,” Grunberg said in an email. “We are eager to continue to expand through acquisition in both Canada and the United States. Seniors living in Toronto, New York, Miami, Los Angeles, or any other city in North America are alike in their preferences.  The vast majority of Seniors want to age at home, maintain their independence and experience joyful living.”

Integracare offers in-home services across Ottawa, Canada, including assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs), companionship, registered practical nursing care, palliative care and wound care, among other services.

The deal marks the sixth portfolio company investment made by Charleston, South Carolina-based Frontline. The firm’s portfolio also includes outpatient infusion company LivWell Infusions and behavioral health-focused companies.

Grunberg’s top priorities over the next year are to expand through acquisition, introduce new technology designed to enhance home care services, improve operational efficiency and generate a new recurring revenue model, he told HHCN.
