Texas-based Lucent Health Group has acquired Chambers Home Health & Hospice, another provider within the state.
Chambers is a regional home health and hospice platform that serves eastern Texas. The company serves thousands of patients annually across more than 20 Texas counties through three brands, Chambers Home Health, Chambers Hospice, and Healthcare Associates LLC, according to a statement from Cross Keys Capital, which advised the company on the sale.
“We are excited to partner with LHG, as they share our vision, values, and commitment to delivering high-quality, patient-centered care across the communities we serve,” Melissa Chambers, founder of Chambers Home Health & Hospice, said in a statement.
Financial terms of the deal were undisclosed.
The transaction combines Chambers’ footprint and reputation in the community with Lucent’s resources and health care operating expertise, according to Cross Keys. It will position Chambers, which operates eight locations, for continued expansion.
The transaction underscores ongoing consolidation and investment across the home-based care sector as providers pursue greater scale, enhanced operational capabilities and strategic partnerships to address growing demand.
Home health and hospice services continue to attract significant interest from investors and operators as health care systems increasingly emphasize lower-cost, patient-centered care delivered in the home.
Similar to national trends, swelling aging populations are driving demand for hospice in the Lone Star State. Seniors 65 and older represent roughly 13.9% of the state’s population, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. The number of individuals in this age cohort is anticipated to nearly double by 2060, according to a report from the Texas Demographic Center.
Roughly 145,160 Medicare decedents received hospice care in Texas during 2024, according to a report from the National Alliance for Care at Home. The national average hospice utilization rate hovered around 53.1% that year, the report found.
Founded in 2007, Lucent Health Group (LHG) is a veteran-owned home health and hospice provider serving communities across North Texas. The company offers a range of in-home care services, including skilled nursing, therapy, and personal caregiving for seniors and individuals recovering from surgery.
The company operates through a number of affiliated brands, including Lucent Home Health, Accord Palliative and Hospice Care, Goshen Healthcare Services LLC, and Imparting Knowledge Home Health LLC.
Lucent CEO Trent Cargile said the partnership marks a significant milestone in the organization’s long-term growth strategy and will enhance its capacity to serve patients across the region.
“This partnership marks an important milestone for our company, and we believe LHG is the right partner to support our continued growth,” Cargile said in a statement. “This transaction and partnership would not have been possible without the Cross Keys team, and we are deeply grateful for their expertise, strategic insight, and steadfast guidance throughout the process.”
