Buy an Avendelle Assisted Living Franchise

Avendelle Assisted Living is a residential senior care franchise founded in 2005 in North Carolina. Originally operating as The Haven Family Care Homes, the company rebranded to Avendelle in 2016 with a focus on national expansion. The brand operates small, homelike assisted living properties, each housing 6 to 10 residents, as an alternative to large institutional care facilities.

The model centers on residential properties, either owned or leased, converted or purpose-built as care homes within standard neighborhoods. Franchisees hire and manage caregivers who provide around-the-clock personalized care to a small group of residents. Revenue is recurring, driven by monthly resident fees. A conversion pathway also exists for existing assisted living operators who want to adopt the Avendelle brand and support systems.

Avendelle’s headquarters are in Raleigh, North Carolina, home to its corporate training program and network support operations. The brand has grown to locations across multiple US states, with further development underway. Core service differentiators include a 3:1 average resident-to-caregiver ratio and all-inclusive pricing.

Why buy an Avendelle Assisted Living Franchise?

To buy an Avendelle Assisted Living franchise is to enter a sector with strong demographic tailwinds, where demand for small-home alternatives to traditional nursing facilities has grown steadily alongside an aging US population. The brand has maintained operations since 2005 and holds Franchise Registry recognition, which provides franchisees with a streamlined SBA loan review process.

The recurring-revenue structure is a notable feature of the ownership model. Unlike project-based franchises, residential care generates consistent monthly income tied to occupancy. Avendelle’s conversion pathway lets existing assisted living operators adopt the brand’s systems and support network without building from scratch. Franchise support includes professional management software, operations manuals, direct business development assistance through broker relationships, and SEO for the local market.

Avendelle Assisted Living – Additional  Information

    Initial training begins at Avendelle's headquarters in Raleigh, North Carolina, covering 8 hours of classroom instruction and 40 hours of on-the-job training. Ongoing support includes senior staff onsite assistance, toll-free technical support, professional management software, operations manuals, regional referral identification, broker relationships, and SEO for the franchisee's local market. Resale buyers should confirm what transfer training and system access the franchisor provides to incoming ownership.

  2. Ideal Owner

    Avendelle suits owner-operators with a genuine interest in senior care and a temperament for staffing-intensive service businesses. The day-to-day role centers on managing a team of caregivers, maintaining relationships with resident families, building referral networks with healthcare providers and discharge planners, and overseeing regulatory compliance. Prior healthcare experience is not required, but candidates comfortable with people management, quality oversight, and community engagement fit the model well. A community-minded approach and active local network are important for building and sustaining full occupancy.

  3. Recognition & Awards

    Avendelle Assisted Living holds Franchise Registry recognition, which gives franchisees a streamlined SBA loan review process. The brand has been featured in Franchising Magazine USA (2025) for its growth in residential senior care. For resale buyers, local brand recognition typically carries as much weight as national listings in this category. Buyers should assess the specific unit's community reputation, online reviews, and referral relationships with local healthcare providers and discharge planners as part of their due diligence.

  4. Industry / Market

    The US assisted living facility market was valued at $44.38 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach $93.54 billion by 2033, growing at 8.69% annually, according to Grand View Research. Demand is driven by demographic shift: roughly 61 million Americans are aged 65 or older, with approximately 8,000 new people crossing that threshold daily. Consumer preference for smaller, homelike settings over large institutional facilities is a key factor supporting brands in Avendelle's segment. For resale buyers, consistent occupancy within a well-positioned territory is the primary revenue indicator to evaluate.
