Senior Care Franchising: Purpose. Profit. Freedom. On Your Terms.
For women in their next chapter who want meaningful work without starting from scratch.
Women 40–60 often come to me feeling a pull toward work that matters.
Not just work that pays the bills — but work that makes an impact.
Senior care franchising is where purpose, profit, and service beautifully overlap.
It’s also one of the fastest-growing sectors in franchising, driven by:
America’s aging population
More seniors wanting to age in place
Families needing reliable help
Demand for mobility, downsizing, and care coordination
Even if you don’t have a medical background (you don’t need one!) your leadership, compassion, and life experience make you a great fit..
The Different Types of Senior Care Franchises
1. Non-Medical Home Care Franchises
This is the most well-known model. Caregivers help with:

Bathing
Meals

Staffing: Typically 20–50 caregivers (you don’t provide the care).
