A clear trend has emerged in the health care industry: Mergers and acquisitions of healthcare firms have slowed year over year.

Though home-based care M&A showed “signs of life” in Q3 2024 in what has otherwise been a relatively quiet year thus far, transaction volume was still down last year, according to a report from M&A advisory firm Mertz Taggart.

An estimated six hospice deals took place in Q3 of last year, with six home health and 11 home care also completed, Mertz Taggart reported. Private equity transactions represented half of these deals. A total of 30 hospice transactions were completed in 2023, compared to 19 deals as of the end of 2024’s third quarter, the report found.
