Nova Leap Health

What Nova Leap Health does

Nova Leap Health Corp. is a publicly listed (TSXV: NLH) non-medical home care provider headquartered in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada, operating a network of 14 local agency offices across the New England, Southeastern, South Central, and Midwest regions of the United States and in Nova Scotia, Canada, with U.S. operations support based in Holyoke, Massachusetts. The company delivers personal care, dementia care (using the Teepa Snow Positive Approach to Care methodology), respite, hospice support, companionship, meal preparation, housekeeping, transportation, senior transitional, and veteran care services to elderly individuals and family caregivers, primarily funded through private pay, U.S. Veterans Affairs benefits, and long-term care insurance rather than Medicare or Medicaid. Revenue is generated on a usage-based, hourly/24-7/live-in pricing model set locally by each agency office, with a direct-to-consumer intake flow via online "Book An Assessment" booking and local consultations.

The company is organized around a four-pillar community-based care model — Home Care, Care Management, Palliative Care, and Private Nursing — with Care Management launched in the U.S. in December 2025 and Palliative Care launched in Nova Scotia in February 2026 via the wholly-owned Earth Angels Home Care subsidiary; Private Nursing is announced for the next fiscal year. Growth is primarily acquisition-driven, targeting non-franchised private-duty home care agencies with $1.5M+ annual revenue in the U.S. and Canada, funded through a BMO-led credit facility (with up to $7M of additional capacity arranged in November 2024) rather than equity issuance. FY2025 consolidated revenue was $31.5M (+22.2% YoY) with Adjusted EBITDA of $2.05M (+31% YoY), a 1.02x leverage ratio, and 501-1000 employees; Q1 2026 Adjusted EBITDA rose 60% YoY. Insider ownership has continued to increase, and no equity financing has been undertaken since 2022.
