Buy an Assisted Living Locators Franchise

Assisted Living Locators is a senior care placement and referral franchise that helps older adults and their families choose the right care option, including assisted living, memory care, independent and retirement living, and in-home care. Local advisors guide families through what is often an emotional, time-pressured decision, then match them to pre-screened communities and providers. The service is free to the families who use it.

The business earns referral fees from the care communities and providers in its network rather than charging families. It runs as a home-based, territory-protected model with no office or clinical premises required. Founded in 2003 by registered nurse Angela Olea, who remains Founder and Brand President, the brand began franchising in 2006 and now operates around 150 territories across 36 states and Washington, D.C. It is part of Evive Brands, a multi-brand franchisor in the home and senior services space.

Assisted Living Locators positions itself as the first senior placement and referral franchise of its kind in the US, with advisors competing on local knowledge, responsiveness and trusted relationships with area providers.

Why buy an Assisted Living Locators Franchise?

Buying an Assisted Living Locators franchise means stepping into an established position in senior care placement, a category supported by long-term demographic demand that has proved resilient across economic cycles. Because families pay nothing and revenue comes from provider referral fees, the model carries low overhead: it is home-based, needs no storefront or clinical staff, and operates within a protected territory.

The brand’s head start as an early mover in placement franchising gives owners a recognised name, established provider relationships and the proprietary ALL-IN platform for managing referrals and tracking performance. Owners also draw on national marketing support and an in-house team, which matters in a business built on local visibility and referral sources.

Assisted Living Locators – Additional  Information

  1. Training & Support

    New owners complete five days of initial training at headquarters (currently delivered virtually), then eight weeks of one-on-one coaching with a dedicated Franchise Launch Specialist. Ongoing support includes the proprietary ALL-IN platform for managing referrals and tracking performance, the Quick Start system to connect with up to 50 area care facilities within weeks, an in-house marketing team, an operations manual, plus call-center and field support. Resale buyers should confirm with Assisted Living Locators what transfer training and ALL-IN access carry over to an incoming owner.

  2. Ideal Owner

    The model suits relationship-led operators comfortable with consultative, compassionate selling rather than hard closing. Day to day, the owner builds and maintains referral relationships with senior living communities, hospitals, discharge planners and home-care providers, while guiding families through emotional care decisions. Strong networking, communication and organisational skills matter most. A background in healthcare, social work or elder care is an advantage but not required; what counts is genuine advocacy for seniors and the discipline to keep a local referral pipeline active.

  3. Recognition & Awards

    Assisted Living Locators has been ranked in Entrepreneur's Franchise 500 across multiple years and on its category lists, placing #10 in Top Franchises for Diversity, Equity & Inclusion in 2024 and #99 in Top Franchises for Less Than $100,000 in 2026. The brand has also been named to the Inc. 5000 list of fast-growing US companies. For resale buyers, brand-level recognition should be weighed alongside the specific territory's local reputation, reviews and referral relationships.

  4. Industry / Market

    Senior care placement sits within a US market shaped by sustained demographic demand. Roughly 10,000 Americans turn 65 every day, and by 2050 about 22% of the US population will be 65 or older, expanding the pool of families needing help to choose assisted living, memory care and in-home options. Because navigating these choices is complex and time-sensitive, free advisory placement has become a valued part of the care journey. As an essential, needs-driven service, the category tends to hold up across economic cycles, though local demand depends on an area's senior population and supply of care communities.
