Overview/Challenge

When Kenneth Ferron, founder of Personal Touch Cares in Indianapolis, decided to expand into the fast-growing Atlanta market, he needed expert guidance to find and acquire the right group home. Entering a new state meant navigating unfamiliar regulations, evaluating potential opportunities, and managing the process from hundreds of miles away. To overcome these challenges, Kenneth partnered with EDGE Business Advisors through its Buyer Representation service to help identify, evaluate, and secure a strong foothold in Georgia’s residential care industry.

Results

With EDGE’s guidance, The Ferrons successfully acquired the Delowe Group Home, establishing Personal Touch Cares’ first Georgia location. The acquisition gave him an immediate operational base in the Greater Atlanta area and positioned the company for long-term growth in the region. The seamless transition allowed Kenneth to expand his mission of compassionate care while maintaining focus on his core business in Indianapolis.

Personal Touch Cares (PTC) is dedicated to helping individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities live fulfilling, self-directed lives. Guided by its mission to assist individuals in finding opportunities that foster meaningful and purposeful living, PTC envisions a world where everyone is valued, respected, and fully included in their chosen communities. The organization believes all people have an important place in society and is committed to supporting individuals in achieving valued social roles, building meaningful relationships, and pursuing opportunities that reflect their personal interests and goals.

The Challenge

Expanding Personal Touch Cares from Indianapolis to the Greater Atlanta area required navigating new state regulations, finding a suitable licensed group home, and managing the purchase process remotely. Kenneth needed expert guidance to identify the right opportunity and ensure a smooth acquisition while continuing to oversee his operations in Indiana.

The Solution

EDGE Business Advisors provided full Buyer Representation, handling every step from search and evaluation to negotiation and closing. The team identified the Delowe Group Home as the ideal fit for Personal Touch Cares’ mission and worked closely with Kenneth to complete due diligence, coordinate with the lender and attorney, and finalize the purchase with confidence.

“I couldn’t have asked for a better buyer than the Ferrons. Knowing that the Delowe Group Home would continue under owners who share the same heart for caring for others means everything to me. It feels good to know the residents are in great hands and that our mission will live on.”
— Tonie Quick, Former Owner of Delowe Group Home

The Results

With EDGE’s guidance, Mr. Ferron successfully acquired the Delowe Group Home, marking Personal Touch Cares’ expansion into Georgia. The acquisition provided an immediate operational base in Atlanta and positioned the company for long-term growth. The seamless process allowed Kenneth to extend his mission of compassionate care into a new community without disruption to his existing business.
