Buy an A Better Solution In Home Care Franchise

A Better Solution In Home Care (ABS) is a senior care franchise founded in San Diego in 2000 that has been franchising since 2015. The brand provides non-medical in-home care for seniors, including companionship and personal care, alongside medical staffing, senior placement and skilled nursing through its home health arm.

ABS runs as a local agency business rather than a home-based concept, with franchisees operating from an office and building a network of caregivers and referral sources across an exclusive territory. The model is built around recurring care contracts and multiple revenue streams, with clients paying through private funds, long-term care insurance, Medicaid, PACE and VA benefits. ABS markets some of the largest territories in the sector, each with a minimum population base and a set number of referral sources.

Operated under A Better Solution Franchise Services and led by founder Lia Smith, a former caregiver, ABS is a smaller, partnership-focused system rather than a large national network, positioning itself on hands-on owner support and broad payor access.

Why buy an A Better Solution In Home Care Franchise?

Buying an A Better Solution In Home Care franchise gives an owner access to an established senior care brand in a category supported by strong demographic demand and proved resilient across economic cycles. The model carries several revenue lines: private-pay home care, medical staffing, senior placement and skilled nursing, which can reduce reliance on any single client type.

ABS leans on large exclusive territories, payor diversification that widens the client pool, and an Enhanced Support Service that lets owners work more on the business by having the corporate team help coach caregivers directly. Franchisees also benefit from preferred vendor rates, a national lead-generating website and a smaller system where they deal directly with company leadership.

A Better Solution In Home Care – Additional  Information

  1. Training & Support

    Incoming owners complete a one-week program at the San Diego headquarters followed by four days of field training, with the existing 65 classroom hours and 40 on-the-job hours preserved. The "Intense Home Care Boot Camp" onboarding is backed by unlimited coaching calls, an assigned franchisee mentor, monthly leadership chats, annual symposiums, back-office billing and collections, ongoing state licensing and regulatory support, and a 24-hour on-call team. Resale buyers should confirm what transfer training and system access ABS provides to incoming owners.

  2. Ideal Owner

    ABS suits a compassionate, relationship-driven operator who is comfortable managing a large, lower-wage caregiver workforce and building referral ties with hospitals, discharge planners and senior facilities. No healthcare background is required, but owners should have a working knowledge of local marketing and financial management. The role is operations- and relationship-led rather than passive; even owners using Enhanced Support Services stay involved in running the agency, setting goals and developing the territory.

  3. Recognition & Awards

    ABS has built its reputation over roughly 25 years operating in senior care, with founder Lia Smith recognised for long-running advocacy on senior and caregiver issues at a state level. The brand is listed among senior care franchises by the IFPG and emphasises a client-centric, service-led model reflected in positive local client reviews. For resale buyers, brand-level standing should be weighed alongside the specific territory's reputation, online reviews, referral sources and community visibility.

  4. Industry / Market

    The US home care market is among the fastest-growing service categories, valued in the hundreds of billions of dollars and projected to expand at high-single-digit annual rates through 2030. Demand is driven by an aging population: roughly 10,000 Americans turn 65 each day and the 65-plus group is set to grow sharply by 2050, alongside a strong preference for aging in place and a persistent caregiver shortage. The category has proved resilient across economic cycles, supporting steady local demand for resale buyers.
