The home-care branch that became the blueprint
In 2013 we bought a majority stake in a home-care branch doing $1.3M in revenue — aging systems, fragmented scheduling, thin financial controls. Purchase price: $1.65M. The owner wanted liquidity and help professionalizing, but he wasn’t ready to leave. So he didn’t.
He stayed on as operator while we rebuilt the machinery around him: pricing uplift across service lines, scheduling and workforce optimization, FP&A tooling, and a weekly KPI cadence. Costs came down 33%. Revenue compounded.
The business eventually ran so well without daily heroics that he stepped back — and after watching it thrive without him, he chose to retire on his own timeline. We bought the remainder. That’s the model working exactly as designed: the exit he actually wanted, gradual, on his terms, with his team intact.
