Great Lakes Hospice

Great Lakes Caring was a leading American healthcare company providing home health, hospice, and palliative care services. Founded in 1994 and headquartered in Jackson, Michigan, the company grew into one of the nation's largest post-acute care providers through strategic acquisitions and organic expansion across the Midwest and Northeast. The company was notable for its integration of advanced healthcare technologies, such as telemedicine and wireless patient-care communication, to enhance clinical outcomes and operational efficiency. In 2018, Great Lakes Caring merged with Jordan Health Services and National Home Health Care to form Elara Caring, creating a national home-based care powerhouse backed by private equity firms Blue Wolf Capital Partners and Kelso & Company.
