Bakken Value Creators

What Bakken Value Creators does

Bakken Value Creators LLC (BVC) is a privately held, founder-owned firm that creates value for clients and partners through acquisitions, divestitures, and investments, putting its own balance sheet at risk alongside partners. Founded with industry-agnostic investment experience spanning IT start-ups, the setup of an $800M Oil and Gas division for a Fortune 500 company, and a 15-year Alternative Investments Advisory boutique with exposure to Private Equity, Venture Capital, Hedge Funds, and Structured Products, the company has concentrated for the last decade primarily on the healthcare sector — specifically in-home care for elderly populations. The firm's operating footprint consists of an acquired In-Home Care agency in Palm Desert, California (Always Best Care, covering the Coachella Valley since March 2021) and a second office opened in Irvine, California in February 2024, together employing close to 150 caregivers and serving close to 100 clients across both territories, a scale the company places in the top 5% of U.S. home care agencies by size.

The firm's core products are an operating in-home care agency providing skilled and non-skilled care plus facility staffing solutions, and a newly launched venture called Care@Home Guarantee, unveiled at the end of 2025. Care@Home Guarantee is a financial and care framework that merges life annuity real estate (rente viagère) with long-term care insurance to provide senior homeowners a property-backed alternative to reverse mortgages and home equity lines of credit, while offering investors sustainable property-backed returns. Founder and CEO Eiso Wortelboer brings 15 years of structured finance experience at De Hoop Finance in Geneva (collaborating with Société Générale and BNP Paribas in Paris) combined with 10 years of California healthcare operations — the unusual dual background on which the integrated care-plus-finance model rests.

Revenue mechanics come from two streams: operating revenue from the home care agency (transaction-fee-based service delivery rather than disclosed per-client pricing) and a transaction-fee-based investment and acquisition services stream for clients and partners. The go-to-market is sales-led and direct: BVC identifies profitable markets, acquires targets within them (as it did with the Palm Desert agency), and is rolling out the Care@Home Guarantee directly to senior homeowners in its focus geographies — currently California operationally, with Florida, Arizona, and Texas identified as healthcare target states. Distribution is direct sales/field-based with no disclosed partnerships, channel intermediaries, or digital marketing infrastructure. The company operates with a small corporate layer (1–10 employees per firmographics, with the 150 caregiver count representing field/operations staff rather than corporate headcount) and discloses no external funding rounds, institutional investors, or parent company.

Direct peers

• Enhabit Inc. Home health and hospice operator spun out from Encompass Health. Provides similar in-home skilled care services and shares the same payer and staffing dynamics as BVC's home care agency.
• Always Best Care Senior Services: Senior in-home care and assisted living franchise system. BVC's Palm Desert agency is an Always Best Care franchise, making the parent system the most natural direct comparison for franchise economics, brand, and operating model.
• Aveanna Healthcare: Provider of private duty nursing, home health, and pediatric services with a large caregiver workforce. Comparable to BVC on the private-duty / personal-care model serving seniors at home.
• Addus HomeCare Corporation: Personal care, home health, and hospice provider with significant Medicaid personal-care exposure. Closely comparable to BVC's Always Best Care Palm Desert operations in terms of service mix and dual-eligible/senior clientele.
• BrightSpring Health Services: Large diversified home and community-based health services platform providing personal care, home health, and hospice. Comparable to BVC because both deliver in-home personal care services to aging and complex-needs populations, though at vastly greater scale.
• The Pennant Group: Operates home health, hospice, and senior living services across the western and southern US. Directly comparable in service lines and geography given BVC's stated focus on CA, FL, AZ, and TX.
• Home Instead (Honor Technology): Senior-focused in-home care franchise under Honor Technology that increasingly bundles care with financial and technology services. Closely comparable to the dual care-plus-financial model BVC is building with Care@Home Guarantee.
• Visiting Angels: Large non-medical senior home care franchise network. Comparable to BVC on non-skilled in-home personal care services targeting aging-in-place seniors.

Broad incumbents

• Genworth Financial: Largest US pure-play long-term care insurance carrier. Care@Home Guarantee bundles an LTC insurance-like benefit, so Genworth is a broad incumbent comparison on the financial-product side rather than a direct home-care competitor.
• Finance of America Reverse: Major US reverse mortgage lender (HECM). Comparable to Care@Home Guarantee because BVC explicitly markets its product as an alternative to reverse mortgages for senior homeowners seeking to monetize home equity for care.
