Caregiver Inc. Expands Reach in Indiana Through 2 Deals

Fort Worth, Texas-based Caregiver Inc. expanded its presence in Indiana through deals with two different organizations.

The long-term care services and support provider for those with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD) closed on a deal to acquire the I/DD services of an organization now known as AbleLight in Valparaiso and Greenfield, Indiana.

In the two cities, Caregiver Inc. now operates home care services, day habilitation services, intermediate care facilities and group homes.

AbleLight, based in Watertown, Wisconsin, was known as Bethesda Lutheran Communities until Jan. 10. Caregiver Inc.’s deal with AbleLight closed in December, according to a news release.

Caregiver Inc., a privately held company, also acquired the majority of the residential and community-based assets of Carmel, Indiana-based Compass Residential & Consulting in a deal that closed in March. This includes home-based community services with sites in each of the following counties —Marion, Lake, Dubois, Allen, Vigo, Monroe, and Vanderburgh.

“We continue to support the Indiana I/DD community as we continue to build upon our momentum in the state,” Caregiver Inc.’s Chief Development Officer Gary Nettis said in the release. “We continue to establish ourselves as a trusted buyer of assets serving the intellectual and developmentally disabled while striving to be a leading and lasting provider of services supporting the broader Indiana community.”

Caregiver Inc. provides intermediate, home and community care services in Texas, Georgia, Tennessee and Ohio as well through its affiliates.

Those affiliates include Unified Care Group, Southern Concepts, River Gardens, Daybreak Community Services Inc., St. Giles Living Centers, DSA of Indiana, HHC of Ohio, Omni Support Services of Tennessee, and Soto ALG of Georgia, according to the company’s LinkedIn page.

The I/DD space is one in need of additional investment and innovation. A recent report released by the ANCOR Foundation and United Cerebral Palsy finds that nearly 600,000 people are in need of services in the U.S.
