As administrative demands began to limit Marpe's ability to scale, founder Wes Wrather sought a strategic partner who could support growth without compromising care. VersiCare Group stepped alongside Marpe, alleviating back-office strain and investing in systems and people while preserving uninterrupted, person-centered services for families across Kentucky.

"It truly was a partnership all the way through the acquisition process. Throughout the entire transition, it was a conversation of equals. VersiCare listened, invited my feedback and recognized that owners understand their business and market."

Founded in 2006 by Joe Bates, a veteran in the I/DD field, CHS Group grew from one client to serving more than 300 people each day and began facing challenges related to administrative processes, recruitment and technology, typical pressures for growing organizations. Within the first year of becoming partners with VersiCare Group, CHS families experienced seamless transition with no impact to day-to-day services while operational efficiencies and upgrades helped support and empower staff.

“What mattered most to me was finding a partner who understood what makes CHS special. VersiCare wasn’t looking to change our structure — they wanted to enhance what we do well.”
