For Excelin, this is the third transaction in the past seven months. In addition to On My Care, the company also purchased Louisiana-based Grace Home Health and three Texas hospice licenses in 2021.
Plus, Excelin has recently opened five de novo home health locations and four de novo hospices in California and Texas.
