Dallas-based AccentCare and Rosemont, Illinois-based Seasons Hospice & Palliative Care (Seasons), along with Advent International, one of the largest and most experienced global private equity investors and owner of AccentCare, announced they have signed a definitive agreement to combine their two organizations.
