Buy an Always Best Care Senior Services Franchise

Always Best Care Senior Services is a senior care franchise founded in 1996 in Rocklin, California, and franchising since 2007. The brand provides non-medical in-home care, assisted living and senior living referral services, and skilled home health care, serving seniors and their families across a network of more than 225 territories in the United States and Canada.

The business is built around a “Continuum of Care” model that lets a single franchise serve clients as their needs change, combining companionship and personal care, veterans care, home health services, and senior living placement. This multi-service approach gives franchisees several revenue streams drawn from the same local referral sources rather than a single line of care.

Most services are delivered in the client’s home, so franchisees run a home-based or small-office operation within a licensed, protected territory rather than a costly retail site. Owners focus on recruiting and managing caregivers, building referral relationships and overseeing care quality. Founder-led for much of its history under Michael Newman and now headed by President and CEO Jake Brown, Always Best Care is one of the larger established names in the home care category.

Why buy an Always Best Care Senior Services Franchise?

Buying an Always Best Care franchise gives an owner a recognized brand in a senior care category that has proved resilient across economic cycles, with demand that keeps growing as the population ages. The multi-service Continuum of Care model is central to the appeal: earning from non-medical care, home health, veterans care and senior living referrals within one protected territory gives owners more ways to grow than single-line competitors, while the home-based structure keeps fixed overhead low.

For a resale buyer specifically, an established Always Best Care unit can come with caregiver teams already in place, referral relationships with hospitals, discharge planners and senior communities, and a client base generating recurring care hours — assets that take time to build from scratch. The brand reports strong franchisee sentiment and steady systemwide growth, which can make an existing territory with a track record worth a close look.

Always Best Care Senior Services – Additional  Information

  1. Training & Support

    Always Best Care runs a multi-tiered support system combining pre-training, classroom instruction and on-the-job field training totalling over 184 hours, covering operations, recruiting, sales and compliance. Each franchisee is assigned a dedicated support team and uses the CareAcademy platform for caregiver training and certification, alongside proprietary client-management technology. Coaching, marketing support and peer-franchisee networks continue after launch. Buyers of an existing unit should confirm what transfer training and system access carry over to new ownership and the certification status of inherited caregivers.

  2. Ideal Owner

    The model suits a relationship-driven local operator comfortable recruiting and managing caregivers, building referral networks with healthcare and senior-living sources, and overseeing care quality rather than delivering hands-on care. Healthcare experience helps but is not required; the franchisor finds its strongest owners often bring management, sales, recruiting or community-involvement backgrounds. Owners should be process-driven, community-minded and at ease selling a service families weigh emotionally. Veterans and those drawn to mission-led work fit the brand's ethos well.

  3. Recognition & Awards

    Always Best Care is ranked annually in Entrepreneur's Franchise 500 (No. 454 in 2026) and appears on the Franchise Times Top 400, Franchise Business Review's FranTastic 500, and the Franchise Gator and Franchise Direct Top 100 lists. Individual franchisees have earned recent recognition, including placement among Newsweek's America's Best Home Health Agencies. The brand is also noted for its veteran-friendly approach and minority-franchising support. For resale buyers, brand recognition should be weighed alongside the specific territory's local reviews, referral reputation and community standing.

  4. Industry / Market

    Demand for senior care in the US is driven by a fast-aging population: more than 10,000 Americans turn 65 every day, and all baby boomers will have reached 65 by 2030 (US Census Bureau). The US market for non-medical in-home senior care is estimated to exceed $300 billion (Forbes), with growth expected as more seniors choose to age in place at home rather than enter assisted living. The category is seen as recession-resistant because daily-living support is essential, not discretionary, though local demand depends on a territory's demographics and referral strength.
