Enhabit Acquired by Private Equity — Home Health M&A

A private equity firm has announced plans to acquire Enhabit, a U.S. home health provider, in a deal valued at about $1.1 billion. The transaction is being positioned as a platform investment, reflecting a strategy to build scale in home-based care through acquisition and operational improvements. Enhabit will become part of the buyer’s broader healthcare portfolio following the completion of customary closing steps.

Enhabit operates in the home health sector, delivering skilled nursing and related services to patients in their homes. The acquisition underscores continued investor interest in post-acute care delivery models that can support aging demographics and ongoing demand for cost-effective alternatives to inpatient settings. For the buyer, adding Enhabit expands capabilities across home health services and strengthens its footprint in a fragmented market where consolidation remains a key theme.

Details on financing structure, specific terms, and named advisors were not provided in the available information. The deal is currently in announced status, with closing expected to occur after regulatory review and satisfaction of other standard conditions.
