Buy an ActivAge Franchise

ActivAge is a daytime senior care franchise offering private-pay adult day services as an alternative to home care and assisted living. Members spend their day at a club-style center built around activities, socialization, meals, fitness and wellness programming, while family caregivers get relief during working hours. The brand was founded in 2011 by Kris and Chelsea Chana and began franchising in 2021 from its Sarasota, Florida headquarters.

Unlike Medicaid-dependent operators, ActivAge runs a private-pay model with flexible hourly and monthly options, transportation and billing in 15-minute increments. Clubs are purpose-built centers of roughly 5,000 to 8,000 square feet, staffed by a small caregiving team and run on a territory-based, owner-operator model. Its affiliate flagship in Port Charlotte, Florida has operated through hurricanes and the pandemic.

The franchise is backed by a full-service support center that handles around ten business areas for owners, covering proprietary weekly programming, marketing and operating systems. ActivAge positions itself as one of the faster-growing concepts in non-medical senior day care, aimed at a rapidly aging population.

Why buy an ActivAge Franchise?

Buying an ActivAge franchise offers entry into non-medical senior care without the heavy staffing of home care or the capital intensity of assisted living. The private-pay model avoids dependence on Medicaid reimbursement, and flexible hourly and monthly memberships support repeat, relationship-based revenue from local families. In a senior care category with strong demographic tailwinds, that gives owners a differentiated position against medical-model competitors.

The brand does much of the heavy lifting through its support center, proprietary weekly programming and operating systems, so owners can focus on community outreach, business development and team management rather than building a care curriculum from scratch. Multi-club expansion is encouraged, with fee discounts for owners who commit to several locations.

ActivAge – Additional  Information

  1. Training & Support

    Initial training covers 14 hours of classroom instruction and 30 hours of on-the-job training for the owner and caregiving staff. ActivAge runs on the Entrepreneurial Operating System and provides a full-service support center covering around ten business areas, including proprietary programming refreshed weekly, field operations, ongoing marketing across SEO, social, email and website, proprietary software, a toll-free line, newsletters and conventions. Resale buyers should confirm with ActivAge what transfer training and software access are provided to incoming owners and which staff are already trained when ownership changes.

  2. Ideal Owner

    ActivAge requires hands-on, owner-operator involvement, and no senior care experience is needed. Some owners hire a general manager for daily operations while they concentrate on marketing, business development and management, but the franchisor expects active engagement rather than absentee ownership. The model suits community-minded operators who are comfortable building local referral relationships, managing a small caregiving team of roughly six to twelve, and leading a mission-driven business. Strong people skills and a genuine commitment to seniors and their families matter more than a clinical background.

  3. Recognition & Awards

    ActivAge is positioned as an emerging leader in private-pay daytime senior care and has been ranked among the top adult day care franchise concepts by industry directory adultday.care. Co-founder Kris Chana has been featured in franchise trade coverage for developing a replicable private-pay model in a category long dominated by Medicaid operators. As a younger franchise, its recognition is still building, so resale buyers should weigh brand-level momentum alongside the specific club's local reputation, online reviews and referral standing within its territory.

  4. Industry / Market

    Demand for senior care in the United States is driven by a rapidly aging population, with the number of Americans aged 65 and older set to roughly double over the coming decades. Adult day services are growing as an affordable, non-residential alternative to assisted living, helping seniors stay in their homes longer while easing caregiver burnout among working adult children. The US adult day care market is valued in the high-teens billions of dollars and projected to keep expanding at a mid-single-digit annual rate, supported by staffing shortages and rising costs across residential care.
