Buy a Comfort Keepers Franchise

Comfort Keepers is a senior in-home care franchise providing companion care, personal care, Alzheimer’s and dementia care, private duty nursing, respite care, palliative and hospice support, and light housekeeping to elderly adults and others needing daily-living assistance. Founded in 1998 and franchising since 1999, the brand operates through CK Franchising, Inc., a subsidiary of Sodexo S.A., the global facilities management and services group.

Franchisees operate from a local office and do not provide hands-on care. Owners recruit, schedule, and manage teams of employed caregivers who work in clients’ homes, while the owner handles staffing, scheduling, compliance with state home care regulations, and relationship-building with referral sources such as hospitals, discharge planners, physicians, and senior care coordinators.

The network spans more than 650 locations across North America, with additional offices internationally, and territories are available in all 50 US states. Sodexo’s ownership provides organizational stability and broad corporate support infrastructure, giving the brand a multinational parent behind what is otherwise a locally operated community care business.

Why buy a Comfort Keepers Franchise?

Buying a Comfort Keepers franchise means entering the in-home senior care category with an established brand that has operated nationally for over 25 years. Sodexo’s corporate backing and a network of more than 650 North American locations give the brand organizational depth and a recognized name in a market where families make care decisions based on trust and reputation.

The recurring-revenue model supports steadier cash flow than project-based service businesses: clients engage caregivers on ongoing care schedules rather than one-off visits. Franchise Business Review recognized Comfort Keepers in its Most Profitable Franchises and Top Recession-Resistant Franchises categories in 2025, and the brand is ranked in Entrepreneur’s Franchise 500 for 2026. Comfort Keepers has also partnered with PBS on a caregiving documentary executive produced by Bradley Cooper, providing additional national visibility.

Comfort Keepers – Additional  Information

  1. Training & Support

    Comfort Keepers onboarding runs in three phases: Phase One builds foundational knowledge through eLearning and virtual webinars; Phase Two moves new owners to the corporate office in Southern California for in-person workshops; Phase Three pairs each franchisee with a Regional Director for ongoing one-on-one support calls. Continuing resources include quarterly Performance Management Groups (PMG), the CK Community Platform, and the annual Comfort Keepers Connect Conference. The comfortkeepers.jobs board supports caregiver recruiting. Resale buyers should confirm what initial training and Regional Director access transfer with an existing unit.

  2. Ideal Owner

    The right Comfort Keepers franchisee is a people-focused operator comfortable running a staffing-intensive service business. Owners focus on caregiver recruiting and retention, scheduling, state home care compliance, and building referral relationships with hospitals, discharge planners, and senior care organizations. Client acquisition is relationship-driven, so local outreach and community engagement matter. Prior healthcare experience is not required, but comfort with employment management, genuine care-sector interest, and willingness to build a local referral network are strong indicators of fit.

  3. Recognition & Awards

    Comfort Keepers has received consistent recognition across the franchise industry. The brand is ranked in Entrepreneur's Franchise 500 for 2026 and named among Entrepreneur's Top Low-Cost Franchise Opportunities in 2025. Franchise Business Review recognized Comfort Keepers in two 2025 categories: Most Profitable Franchises and Top Recession-Resistant Franchises. The brand ranks #100 on the Franchise Times Top 400, with reported system sales of $750 million. Newsweek included the brand in its 2025 America's Best of the Best rankings. The brand participates in the IFA's VetFran program.

  4. Industry / Market

    The US home care market is driven by an aging baby boomer population: an estimated 10,000 Americans turn 65 every day, and over 70% of those 65 and older are expected to need long-term care services at some point. The strong preference among seniors to age in place sustains ongoing demand for in-home care. The US market is projected to exceed $107 billion in 2025, with continued growth expected as the older population expands. Caregiver recruitment and retention are a structural challenge across the sector, which makes staffing capability a meaningful factor for resale buyers.
