Hospice
Confidential representation for hospice owners considering an exit.
Medicare certified hospice providers and startup licensed agencies.
Hospice remains one of the most closely watched segments in healthcare M&A. Buyers include regional operators expanding into new service areas, strategic acquirers building density, and investor backed platforms. What they share is a preference for providers with a defensible compliance record and a referral base that does not depend on one relationship.
Average daily census, length of stay patterns, and the mix of routine, respite, and general inpatient care all influence how a buyer models the business. Just as important is the quality of documentation supporting eligibility and recertification, because that is where diligence concentrates.
Preparing for a sale usually means assembling current licenses and certification records, accreditation status, survey and audit history, provider agreements, contracts with facilities, and financial statements that separate the operating business from any real estate or owner specific expenses.
Vallexa positions the opportunity, screens buyers before they learn anything identifying, and manages the process from the first blind teaser through NDA, offers, diligence, and closing coordination.

Listings are blind by design. Buyers are screened and sign an NDA before identifying details are released.
FAQ
Hospice questions owners ask
Are licensed but not yet certified hospices sellable?
Yes. Some buyers specifically look for licensed agencies they can build on, and others want a fully certified provider with an active census. The right buyer pool depends on your status, your service area, and the structure you are open to.
Will my staff find out before I am ready?
Confidentiality is built into the process. Marketing materials are blind, buyers sign an NDA before identifying details are shared, and site visits and staff conversations are scheduled only when you decide the time is right.
How long does a hospice sale usually take?
Timelines vary with licensure, payer approvals, and buyer diligence. We give you a realistic view of the path at the start based on your specific situation rather than a generic estimate, and we keep you informed at each stage.
