Buy a HomeWatch CareGivers Franchise

Homewatch CareGivers is a non-medical home care franchise providing in-home support for seniors and others who want to stay independent. Services range from companionship, housekeeping and personal care to specialized support such as dementia care, delivered through personalized care plans. Founded in 1980 and franchising since the mid-1990s, the brand operates more than 200 locations across North America.

The business is home-based and built around recruiting, training and scheduling a local team of caregivers, supported by operations and sales staff who handle client acquisition and retention. Its Total Care Solutions approach pairs in-person caregiving with home-care technology, and owners can develop multiple revenue streams across wellness care and more complex personal care.

Homewatch CareGivers is part of Authority Brands, a multi-brand home-services franchisor whose portfolio includes The Cleaning Authority, Benjamin Franklin Plumbing and America’s Swimming Pool Company. Franchisees work within protected territories and draw on the group’s shared support infrastructure, coordinated from a franchise support center in Denver.

Why buy a HomeWatch CareGivers Franchise?

Buying a Homewatch CareGivers franchise gives an owner a position in the recession-resistant home care category, serving an aging population that increasingly prefers care at home over residential facilities. The brand brings more than four decades of operating history, a recognized name and the backing of Authority Brands, one of the larger home-services franchisors in North America.

The home-based model keeps property overhead low, while ongoing care relationships can generate steady, repeat revenue rather than one-off jobs. Membership in the Authority Brands network gives owners shared technology, marketing resources and peer benchmarking that an independent home-care operator would have to build alone.

HomeWatch CareGivers – Additional  Information

  1. Training & Support

    Incoming owners follow a 52-week business implementation program built around 300+ prioritized tasks, backed by a lifetime training guarantee. Homewatch CareGivers University delivers accredited online courses that help caregivers meet certification and licensure requirements, while business-intelligence tools and data-driven peer groups support ongoing growth. Franchisees receive marketing support, a customized intranet, monthly webinars and annual conferences, coordinated from the franchise support center in Denver. Resale buyers should confirm what onboarding and Homewatch CareGivers University access transfers to new ownership.

  2. Ideal Owner

    The model suits an organized, people-focused operator who can recruit, train and retain caregivers and manage a team of care, operations and sales staff. Direct clinical experience is not required, though a background in healthcare, social work or elder care is an advantage. Day to day, the owner builds referral relationships with hospitals, discharge planners and families, oversees scheduling and quality, and represents the business locally. Empathy, strong communication and comfort with staffing-led operations matter more than a hard sales approach.

  3. Recognition & Awards

    Homewatch CareGivers ranks in Entrepreneur's Franchise 500 (most recently #246 in 2026) and appears on the magazine's lists for franchises under $150K (#33 in 2026) and for veterans (#62 in 2025). It is a Franchise Business Review Hall of Fame honoree and a winner of 2024 Franchise Innovation and Franchise Customer Experience awards. As part of Authority Brands, it shares in a broader home-services franchise platform. For resale buyers, brand-level recognition is best weighed alongside the specific territory's local reviews, referral sources and reputation.

  4. Industry / Market

    Home care sits on a strong demographic tailwind: the US population aged 65 and older reached about 61 million in 2024 and continues to climb, and most seniors prefer to age at home rather than in facilities. The US home healthcare market was valued at roughly $220 billion in 2025 and is forecast to grow at a double-digit annual rate into the early 2030s. Demand is largely non-discretionary, giving the category resilience across economic cycles. For resale buyers, local demand also depends on territory demographics, referral networks and caregiver availability.
