CareSouth Health System Inc., also known as CareSouth, is a private American healthcare company that provides a range of home care services. It is one of the largest providers of home health care service in the country.
History
Central Georgia Health System founded CareSouth on November 1, 1995 with the purchase of a large home healthcare company, which had a successful 25 year history. Two distinct lines of business evolved from CareSouth's infancy. The first was the direct delivery of patient care, and the second was the delivery of business services to others that owned homecare agencies.
In 1998 the executive management team, working with the Washington, D.C.-based private equity firm, Capitol Partners, acquired the company from Central Georgia Health System, which enabled both of CareSouth's business lines to grow.
CareSouth has been providing quality, compassionate in-home care services to seniors across the Southeastern US for more than 20 years. Today, CareSouth maintains more than 60 offices across country with services including home health care, hospice, and private duty personal care services, as well as health and wellness services in select assisted living facilities. Additionally, CareSouth maintains joint ventures and partnerships in more than 20 locations.
The senior management team is led by Rick Griffin, President & CEO and John Southern, CFO.
CareSouth is a portfolio company of Capitol Partners.
