Humana Buying Kindred [ 2026 Release ]
The acquisition of Kindred at Home (KAH) by Humana was a multi-year strategic process that concluded in 2021, marking a significant shift toward integrated, home-based care. Humana first purchased a 40% stake in the company for $800 million in 2018 through a joint venture with private equity firms TPG Capital and Welsh, Carson, Anderson & Stowe. In August 2021, Humana fully acquired the remaining 60% for approximately $5.7 billion, making Kindred at Home a wholly owned subsidiary.
