Choice Health at Home, LLC (“Choice”), the Texas-based provider of home health, hospice, and rehabilitation services, announced today the closing of a new $190 million credit facility led by Oxford Finance LLC (“Oxford”), a leading specialty finance firm that provides senior debt to life sciences and healthcare services companies worldwide.
