Ares' Private Equity Group and DaVita have made a strategic investment in Elara Caring, a Dallas-based home health provider founded in 1975. The company offers skilled home health, hospice, personal care, behavioral health, and palliative care services across 18 states. The investment was announced in a news release, though financial terms were not disclosed.

Elara Caring has grown into a significant player in the home health sector, providing comprehensive care services that address the increasing demand for in-home medical support.

DaVita, known for its kidney care services, brings additional healthcare expertise to the investment.

This deal reflects the broader trend of private equity firms targeting healthcare services providers as the industry faces demographic shifts and rising demand for home-based care.
