Home Care & Senior Care Franchises

Home care and senior care franchises depend on hiring caregivers and coordinating shifts, rather than taking on retail premises. Most brands run from a small office instead of a shopfront, which can keep the initial investment lower than in many other service sectors. Every figure below comes from the brand’s own Franchise Disclosure Document, not from franchise-sales material.

How much does a home care franchise cost?

Across the 5 home & senior care brands FRANticc tracks in the US with a disclosed investment range, entry cost runs from $92,640 (Home Instead) to $125,460 (Visiting Angels), per each brand's FDD Item 7.

Which is the cheapest home care franchise?

Home Instead has the lowest disclosed minimum investment on this page at $92,640 (FDD Item 7). That is a starting figure, not the total cost of getting to opening day — franchise fee, working capital and any real estate are on top where applicable.

How much do home & senior care franchise owners make?

Financial Performance Representations (FDD Item 19) are optional under FTC franchise rules, so not every brand publishes one. 5 of 5 brands on this page disclose earnings data in their current FDD; check the individual brand page for what each one discloses. FRANticc does not estimate or promise returns — only figures a brand has itself put in writing.

Can I get SBA financing for a home care franchise?

Many brands in this category are listed on the SBA Franchise Directory, which is what SBA 7(a) lenders check first — but directory listing and loan approval are two different things, and approval also depends on the individual applicant's credit and collateral. Confirm current SBA status directly with the brand and with an SBA-approved lender; FRANticc does not verify per-brand SBA eligibility.

Every figure above is from the brand's current Franchise Disclosure Document (Items 5, 6, 7, 20) on file with FRANticc, US-scoped (country_code=US) — no India data mixed in.
