Buy a Touching Hearts Franchise

Touching Hearts at Home is a family-owned senior care franchise founded in 1996 and headquartered in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The brand provides non-medical in-home care for seniors, adults with disabilities, people managing medical conditions, and those transitioning from hospital to home. Core services include companionship, light housekeeping, meal preparation, transportation, Alzheimer’s and dementia care, and home safety monitoring.

It runs a home-based, territory model: owners operate a local agency that recruits and schedules caregivers rather than a clinical or facility-based business. The network spans more than 60 locations across some 20 states, giving it an established footprint in non-medical home care without the regulatory weight of skilled medical care.

A defining feature is that Touching Hearts was started and is led by franchisees and positions itself as a franchisee-friendly system. It uses a shared-risk royalty structure beginning at 1%, with no separate marketing or technology royalty, plus protected territories.

Why buy a Touching Hearts Franchise?

Buying a Touching Hearts franchise offers entry into non-medical home care, a recurring-revenue service business backed by long-term demographic demand. Care is usually delivered on ongoing schedules rather than one-off projects, which can build a repeat client base and steady hours for caregivers.

The ownership case rests partly on the brand’s franchisee-first structure. Because the system was built and is led by franchisees, its royalty model starts at 1% with no marketing or technology royalty, and territories are protected, keeping local overhead manageable while the owner concentrates on caregiver recruitment and client relationships. No clinical licensing is required to deliver the non-medical services, which broadens the pool of people who can run it.

Touching Hearts – Additional  Information

  1. Training & Support

    Initial training covers 32 hours of classroom instruction plus on-the-job training, with incoming owners able to visit the Minneapolis headquarters beforehand. Ongoing support includes a toll-free line, newsletters, meetings and conventions, a franchisee intranet platform, and marketing assistance spanning email, social media, SEO and ad templates, alongside operational and field consulting. A veterans incentive is offered. Resale buyers should confirm with Touching Hearts what onboarding and intranet access transfer to incoming owners when ownership changes.

  2. Ideal Owner

    The model suits hands-on, community-minded operators comfortable recruiting, scheduling and retaining caregivers and building referral relationships with families, hospitals and senior networks. No medical or clinical background is required, since training prepares owners for the non-medical service model, but empathy, reliability and strong people management matter more than industry experience. It rewards owners who can balance compassionate client care with the staffing and local marketing discipline the agency model depends on.

  3. Recognition & Awards

    Touching Hearts at Home has appeared in Entrepreneur's Franchise 500 rankings and is positioned as an established name in non-medical home care, with a franchisee-led culture it cites as a draw for owner satisfaction. Founded in 1996, it has built a multi-state network and a reputation around compassionate, relationship-focused care. For resale buyers, brand-level recognition should be weighed alongside the specific territory's local reputation, online reviews, referral sources and community visibility, which more directly drive an individual agency's performance.

  4. Industry / Market

    Non-medical home care sits within a US senior-care market shaped by clear demographic tailwinds. The population aged 65 and older is projected to rise from about 58 million in 2022 to roughly 82 million by 2050, and most seniors prefer to age in their own homes rather than move to facilities. That preference, combined with longer life expectancy and limited availability of family caregivers, sustains steady demand for in-home companionship and personal-care support. The category has also proved relatively resilient across economic cycles, since care needs persist regardless of conditions.
