Why It Matters

The right buyer pays a premium. We know who they are.

A hospice buyer values average daily census and length of stay. A skilled home health buyer underwrites STAR ratings and PDGM exposure. A behavioral health platform cares about accreditation and payer contracts. Generalist brokers learn your business on your dime — we already know it, and we know exactly which acquirers are writing checks for it right now.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which home care and healthcare sectors does Hendon Partners advise on?
+
Hendon Partners is a sell-side M&A advisory firm focused exclusively on care-at-home and community-based healthcare: hospice, Medicare-certified skilled home health, private duty nursing, private-pay non-medical home care, Medicaid non-skilled home care, behavioral health (including SUD/addiction, mental health, and ABA/autism), IDD services, and healthcare staffing.
Why does industry specialization matter when selling a home care or hospice agency?
+
Generalist business brokers represent companies across hundreds of industries. Hendon works in one. That focus means we know the active buyers in each sector, the multiples they are paying, the diligence issues that kill deals, and how to position your specific agency — by payer mix, census, accreditation, and geography — to command a premium.
What EBITDA multiple will my agency sell for?
+
Multiples vary by sector, size, payer mix, and quality. Hospice generally commands the highest multiples (6–12×), followed by behavioral health and private duty nursing, with Medicaid non-skilled personal care at the lower end (3–5×). Your specific range depends on EBITDA scale, growth, and operational quality. A confidential valuation will give you a precise, defensible number.
Do you only represent sellers?
+
No. Hendon Partners advises sellers through competitive exit processes and also works with qualified strategic and private equity buyers acquiring in home-based care. We never represent both sides of the same transaction — when we represent you as a seller, our compensation is tied entirely to maximizing your outcome at the closing table.
