Why Florida is an Ideal Location to Open a Home Care Franchise

If you’re exploring the best states to launch a home care franchise, Florida should be at the top of your list. With its rapidly growing senior population, favorable tax environment, and year-round warm climate, Florida offers the perfect conditions to build a successful in-home care business. Briggs Home Care — backed by decades of home care expertise and a strong national reputation — provides the tools, training, and support to help franchisees thrive. Whether you’re drawn to cities like Sarasota, Naples, or The Villages, Florida is primed for high demand in non-medical home care services, making it one of the most strategic places to open a home care franchise today. 

• Growing Aging Population: Florida has one of the highest percentages of seniors in the U.S. — around 21% of its population is over 65 (and growing). This creates high demand for non-medical and in-home care services, especially as more people want to age in place. 

• Popular Retirement Destination: Florida is a top retirement destination due to its warm climate, tax benefits, and senior-friendly communities. Cities like Naples, Sarasota, The Villages, and Palm Beach have dense senior populations, ideal for targeting home care services. 

• No State Income Tax: Florida has no state income tax, making it an attractive location for both business owners and retirees with disposable income to spend on private care. Franchisees benefit from a more favorable business climate and increased client purchasing power. 

• Booming Healthcare Industry: The healthcare and elder care industries are among the fastest-growing sectors in Florida. Opportunities for collaboration with hospitals, senior communities, and rehab centers are abundant, making it an ideal location to open a home care business. 

• High Caregiver Availability: Florida’s large service economy and hospitality industry help attract a workforce suited to caregiving — compassionate, multilingual, and diverse. That means you’ll have an easier time finding high-quality staff that can provide an exceptional level of service.  

• Tourism and Snowbird Effect: Seasonal residents (“snowbirds”) often require temporary or part-time care, opening a niche market for flexible service offerings.
