Gimv has acquired Novicare, one of the largest Dutch long-term care treatment service providers, for an undisclosed amount. This corporate acquisition sees Gimv take full ownership of Novicare, marking a notable development in the Dutch healthcare sector.
Novicare specializes in addressing chronic complex care needs for the elderly and individuals with intellectual disabilities. The company operates multidisciplinary teams that deliver treatment services both in clients' homes and by supporting residential care institutions in the VVT (nursing, care, and home care) and VG (care for the intellectually disabled) sectors. Beyond direct treatment, Novicare also assists care organizations with training care teams and guiding vision development for treatment services. Its core mission is to ensure access to specialized treatment care for all, regardless of their living situation, particularly amidst a growing client base and a shortage of specialized practitioners.
This acquisition is strategically aimed at enhancing Novicare's capacity for expansion and innovation within the evolving long-term care landscape. Gimv's purchase of Novicare is expected to provide substantial resources and support to further Novicare's mission of making specialized care future-proof by reorganizing treatment delivery to achieve maximum impact with available resources. The collaboration seeks to address the pressing societal challenge of increasing demand for specialized care services. Synergies are anticipated through combined operational efficiencies and a bolstered capacity to extend Novicare's unique approach to a broader demographic.
The combined entity is poised to reinforce efforts in developing and implementing new methods for long-term care. By merging Novicare's deep expertise in specialized treatment services with Gimv's ownership, the acquisition aims to secure and enhance the quality and accessibility of care for vulnerable populations, fostering continued innovation in the sector.
