NEW YORK, Nov. 20, 2024 — First Citizens Bank has announced that its Healthcare Finance division has closed a $125 million senior credit facility for New Day Healthcare, a market-leading provider of home-based services.

The funding will refinance New Day’s existing debt, facilitate four acquisitions under letters of intent, and support future acquisition pipelines. First Citizens Bank acted as the lead arranger and administrative agent for the transaction.

New Day Healthcare serves approximately 11,000 patients daily, with a strong emphasis on delivering high-quality, personalized care. New Day Healthcare is majority owned by Kaltroco, a private equity firm based in San Francisco.

“This financing supports New Day’s growth strategy as we expand our offerings to better serve communities across the U.S.,” said G. Scott Herman, CEO of New Day Healthcare. “This acquisition of four facilities in key regions enhances our strong portfolio and advances our mission of delivering comprehensive, patient-centered care in various post-acute settings.”

Currently, New Day’s continuum-based footprint spans 30 locations across Texas, Missouri, Kansas, and Illinois. Touching nearly 120,000 patients annually, New Day employs approximately 7,800 team members in home health, hospice, pediatrics, clinical decision support, and personal care.
