H.I.G. Growth Partners (“H.I.G. Growth”), the dedicated growth capital investment affiliate of H.I.G. Capital, is pleased to announce the sale of its portfolio company, Just Home Healthcare Services (“JHC” or the “Company”). H.I.G. sold JHC in two parts, selling the Personal Home Care and Adult Day Health business segments in April 2023 to Honor Health Network, backed by Webster Equity Partners. Separately, H.I.G. Growth sold the Group Home and Independent Living Program business segments in October 2023 to RHA Health Services, backed by Blue Wolf Capital.
H.I.G. acquired JHC from the Company’s founder in January 2017. During H.I.G.’s ownership, JHC established new company leadership with the hiring of a new COO and CFO, strategically expanded Group Home services from one to 11 homes, grew personal home care census hours by 33%, and doubled revenue and EBITDA.
Zhanna Basina, JHC’s founder and CEO, commented, “H.I.G. was an exceptional partner that helped us strategically expand new service lines and improve operational performance. Their team demonstrated deep understanding of the home and community-based services industry, helped us navigate challenges during the COVID-19 pandemic, and made sure that our clients received consistent, high-quality care.”
Mark Tricolli, Managing Director at H.I.G. Growth, added, “I’m incredibly proud of the JHC team’s dedication and expertise. Their commitment to their clients, clinical quality, and operational know-how helped us partner effectively and build a strong company that serves residents across New Jersey.”

Based in Fair Lawn, NJ, JHC is a leading provider of medically-focused adult day health and in‐home personal care services to elderly and intellectually and developmentally disabled clients across the state of New Jersey. The Company’s integrated model of home and community-based healthcare and support services deliver a compelling value proposition to both clients and payors by offering a high-touch, yet low-cost alternative to an institutional setting.
