COVID-19 has proven to be the ultimate contender for providing, as well as accessing healthcare in the United States. Adaptions are inevitable and have been paving the way to powerful partnerships within the I/DD sector.

Bell Family, LLC (https://bellfamilyllc.com), an Arizona-based home and community based-services (HCBS) provider, was acquired by The MENTOR Network, Inc. (https://www.thementornetwork.com), a national healthcare and human services company. 

Spectrum Home Healthcare, LLC (https://spechomehc.com), an Arizona-based home healthcare provider, was acquired by The MENTOR Network, Inc. (https://www.thementornetwork.com), a national healthcare and human services company.

Rachel Boynton, the Managing Director who represented A+ Solutions, noted, "The deal hit a significant road bump when COVID-19 began, but the owners of A+ were able to quickly pivot their service delivery model and not only recover lost revenue, but increase it." With regards to Spectrum Home Healthcare, LLC, she goes on to say, "The family (Spectrum) has provided such amazing community-based services, I am excited to see them be able to grow through their integration into The MENTOR Network."

Dave Turgeon, the Managing Director who lead the sell-side transaction for Bell Family, LLC, stated, "The small providers are often overlooked. I am happy to have helped guide a well-deserving home-health provider to continue their influential reach within their community while reaching end goals."
