What Makes Arizona Unique
Arizona's rapid population growth among retirees, particularly in the Phoenix metro and Tucson, has made it one of the fastest-growing home health markets in the western US.
The Phoenix metro area alone accounts for the majority of the state's home health patient volume, with agencies serving a geographically sprawling service area that demands efficient visit routing.
Banner Health, HonorHealth, and Dignity Health are major discharge referral sources in the Phoenix metro, agencies with strong hospital liaison relationships command stronger valuations.
Arizona's AHCCCS (Medicaid) program covers home health services through managed care plans, and the state's dual-eligible population represents a significant segment for home health agencies.
Tucson's large retiree community and lower operating costs compared to Phoenix make it an attractive secondary market for platform buyers building regional density across Arizona.

1. Get a Current Valuation
Before anything else, know your number. Your agency's value is based on how much profit it makes in a year, after you add back things like your personal salary and expenses that a new owner wouldn't have. That adjusted profit gets multiplied by 2.2x - 3.6x to get your value.

3. Prepare Your Agency for Market
Buyers, whether PE platforms or individual operators, look at the same things:
- Clean financials, 3 years of tax returns and profit & loss statements
- Patient volume, active patients, admission trends, and visits per episode
- Payer mix, Medicare percentage and any Medicaid, Medicare Advantage, or private pay revenue
- Star ratings, strong quality scores and no active compliance issues
- Staff stability, nurses, therapists, and clinical leadership staying post-sale matters
- Referral relationships, strong hospital and physician referral networks add significant value
