LCS, the leader in senior lifestyle care and CareSouth, the leading regional provider for home health services, announced their joint venture, Health at Home.
Under the terms of the agreement, CareSouth will handle the management of operations for the 17 Health at Home sites which are located in 11 states. The facilities are currently serving an estimated 1,400 clients to date.
President/Chief Executive Officer of LCS, Ed Kenny said, "We sought out a partner with similar values to better position our home care services for the future, and we found that partner in CareSouth. There is a strong cultural compatibility between our companies, as we are both passionate about positive care outcomes and personalized customer service. In addition, CareSouth brings an exceptional depth of information technology resources and robust clinical care and educational programs to the equation."
"At CareSouth, we believe it is important to align with high quality partners whose philosophies and values are similar to ours. LCS is the perfect partner for us. They strive, at all times, to put their residents first, just as we strive to put our patients first. They are innovative in senior living, just as we are innovative in non-acute health care. With each coming senior generation, we see a greater need for the availability of different levels of medical care and integration of medical information, delivered in a coordinated manner, both inside and outside of senior living settings. CareSouth's partnership with LCS will provide that higher level of coordinated care within the senior living settings provided by LCS. We are extremely excited about this opportunity to partner with LCS for the benefit of the seniors we both serve," said Rick Griffin CareSouth President and Chief Executive Officer.
