Helpful content to guide you on your journey to becoming a home care franchise owner.
As the aging population continues to grow, so does the demand for quality senior care. For entrepreneurs looking to make a meaningful impact while building a rewarding business, the home care industry presents a powerful opportunity. At Briggs Home Care, we’re dedicated to improving the lives of our clients and our franchise partners alike. If you’re considering joining a senior care franchise, here are five essential steps to starting a successful senior care business, and how Briggs Home Care helps you succeed every step of the way.
Before diving into any business, it’s critical to understand the market. The U.S. Census Bureau projects that by 2034, older adults will outnumber children for the first time in history. This demographic shift means consistent demand and increased revenue potential for home care services.
Home care services are among the fastest-growing sectors in the healthcare industry, and for good reason. Families are increasingly choosing to keep their loved ones at home instead of in institutional settings, where care can feel impersonal and disruptive. Home care offers a more compassionate, flexible, and often more cost-effective solution, which aligns with the desires of both elderly individuals and their families.
Beyond aging, there’s also rising demand for home care among individuals recovering from surgery, managing chronic illnesses, or living with disabilities. This broad client base adds resilience to the market. Understanding these overlapping trends (an aging population, preferences for personalized care, and the shift toward decentralized health services) can help entrepreneurs identify not only the opportunities, but also the long-term sustainability of investing in the home care space.
Not all senior care franchises are created equal. Choosing the right partner is one of the most important decisions you’ll make, and it can directly impact your long-term success. In a competitive and growing industry, the right franchisor will offer more than just a logo and a playbook. They’ll provide the tools, support, and resources you need to build something meaningful and profitable. As you evaluate your options, look for a franchisor with:
Briggs Home Care checks every box and then some. Backed by more than 75 years of healthcare leadership through our parent company, Briggs Healthcare, we bring a legacy of clinical excellence, innovation, and trusted relationships. Our name is well-known and respected by hospitals, clinics, and care providers nationwide. When you partner with Briggs, you’re not just starting a business, you’re joining a mission-backed network of care professionals committed to excellence.
The startup phase is where most businesses either gain momentum or stall. The right foundation is key. Each state has unique licensing requirements for non-medical and skilled care services and navigating this landscape can be overwhelming.
From helping you secure the necessary state licenses to developing your policies and procedures, Briggs Home Care provides step-by-step guidance. Our onboarding process includes business operations training, technology systems, caregiver recruitment strategies, and customer service protocols—so you’re prepared to launch with confidence, even if you’re new to healthcare.
We also offer ongoing compliance support to ensure your business stays up to date with evolving regulations, giving you peace of mind and operational clarity.
Your caregivers are the heart and soul of your business. In senior care, it’s not just about clinical skills, it’s about empathy, trust, and human connection. The most successful home care businesses understand this and go beyond simply hiring qualified individuals. They cultivate a culture of compassion, accountability, and excellence, where every team member feels empowered to deliver the highest standard of care.
At Briggs Home Care, we recognize that your caregivers represent your brand every single day. That’s why we equip you with a comprehensive suite of tools and resources designed to help you recruit, retain, and continually develop a high-performing team.
But more than just tools, Briggs Home Care helps you build a workplace culture that attracts and retains top talent. We understand that in-home care is deeply personal, not just for clients, but also for caregivers who are committed to making a difference. That’s why our franchisees are encouraged to lead with empathy, recognize team achievements, and foster a supportive environment where caregivers can grow their careers.
Senior care is about more than services, it’s about relationships, dignity, and peace of mind. Families aren’t just looking for a provider; they’re looking for someone they can trust with the people they care about most. That’s why your long-term success will depend not only on operational excellence but also on your ability to build trust, form meaningful connections, and become a recognized, respected presence in your community.
As a franchisee, you’ll receive robust support to help you establish and grow your business with integrity, visibility, and credibility right from the start. Our franchise system is designed to help you stand out in a competitive market and position yourself as the provider families turn to when they need dependable, compassionate care.
From day one, we’re by your side to help you grow your client base, establish trust within your community, and make a real impact in the lives of local families. When you carry the Briggs Home Care name, you benefit from decades of healthcare credibility and a reputation for excellence—making it easier to open doors, start conversations, and earn the confidence of those you serve.
Starting a senior care business isn’t just a career move, it’s a chance to serve your community and make a lasting difference in the lives of others. Every day, you’ll provide comfort, dignity, and support to those who need it most, all while building a business rooted in purpose. But you don’t have to do it alone.
Whether you’re driven by a passion for helping others, a desire to be your own boss, or a commitment to strengthening your community, Briggs Home Care is here to help you succeed—with heart, strategy, and purpose every step of the way.
