Amedisys Will Pay $63M On Florida Home Nursing Firm

BATON ROUGE (AP) — Louisiana-based home health and hospice company Amedisys Inc. will acquire Florida-based Infinity HomeCare and its 15 care centers for $63 million.

         Infinity, whose headquarters are in Sarasota, Florida, provides care for more than 14,000 patients each year and has more than 600 employees. Infinity generated around $50 million in revenue a year.

         President and Chief Executive Officer Paul Kusserow tells The Advocate’s Ted Griggs the acquisition will expand the Amedisys footprint in Florida. The deal also "sends a strong signal" that Amedisys plans to resume growing through acquisitions in key markets.
