Home Health Agency Medicare & Medicaid-Certified- Central Ohio

Once a multi-million-dollar agency, Business has discontinued operations following the owner’s retirement. However, with active Medicare and Medicaid certifications, established systems, and comprehensive compliance procedures still in place, the agency can be quickly reactivated and resume operations. The business continues to receive Medicaid referrals, underscoring ongoing market demand. Business represents a turnkey acquisition for an entrepreneur, healthcare operator, or strategic buyer seeking to enter or expand in the home healthcare industry. With proven infrastructure, strong certifications, and a favorable market, this opportunity provides an immediate platform for growth in one of the fastest-growing healthcare sectors.

Business was originally founded in 1995 by a registered nurse and has served the Central Ohio healthcare community for more than 30 years. The agency built its reputation on providing compassionate, high-quality care and consistently demonstrated strong compliance performance. Over the years, it provided a comprehensive range of services, including skilled nursing, physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, medical social services, home health aide support, wound care, and assisted living partnerships. At its peak, the agency operated as a multi-million-dollar business with a payer mix dominated by Medicare (80–90%) and supplemented by Passport, Senior Options, and BWC programs.

Operations and assets include a modest office in East Columbus (leased at $700/month and assumable), ergonomic workstations, comprehensive policies and procedures updated every 3–4 months, and a fully implemented EMR and billing system (AXXESS) that is transferable to a buyer. Compliance has historically been a strength, with no citations in CMS surveys for more than a decade.

Ohio’s home healthcare sector exceeds $5 billion annually and continues to grow, driven by an aging population, the demand for cost-effective care, and supportive reimbursement policies. National home health spending increased 10.8% in 2023 to $147.8 billion, with overall U.S. health spending rising to $4.9 trillion and projected to grow 7–8% annually through 2025. Central Ohio, anchored by Columbus, represents one of the most attractive regions for expansion, with its rapidly growing senior population, strong hospital systems, and ample healthcare workforce.

Acquiring business allows a buyer to bypass the 12–24 month licensing and startup process, providing immediate entry into a high-growth industry. Buyers will gain:

Active Medicare and Medicaid certifications

A fully implemented EMR and billing platform

Comprehensive compliance manuals and policies

A well-established reputation and brand recognition

Transition support from the retiring owner

Growth opportunities include reactivating operations, expanding payer sources (private duty, hospice, Passport, Senior Options, BWC), building and formalizing referral networks with assisted living facilities and physician groups, and adding new service lines such as hospice, expanded therapy, or wellness clinics. With Medicaid referrals still coming in, a buyer can leverage existing demand to quickly resume operations and scale the agency back to its historical multi-million-dollar performance.

The seller is retiring but remains committed to supporting the new owner with consulting, training, and introductions to ensure a smooth handoff.
