About Home Instead

Founded in 1994 by Paul and Lori Hogan in Omaha, Nebraska, Home Instead launched its first franchise in 1995. It has since grown into the world’s largest home care franchise, with over 1,200 locations across 13 countries, including nearly 613 in the U.S., and generates combined system sales of roughly US $3 billion. In 2021 it was acquired by Honor Technology, deepening its tech-enabled senior care services.

What They Offer

  • Non-medical, relationship-based home care for seniors: companionship, personal care, medication reminders, meal prep, light housekeeping, dementia care, and daily activity assistance.
  • Proprietary caregiver technology integrated via Honor’s platform to streamline scheduling, reduce turnover, and enhance service quality.
  • International brand leverage: with a presence in 13 countries and recognition via prestigious awards (e.g. Queen’s Award for Enterprise), showcasing global reach and credibility.

The Franchise Offering

  • Protected territories designed for market viability, ensuring sufficient senior population to support revenue targets through client acquisition via sales outreach and community engagement.
  • Not a home-based or absentee model—franchisees are expected to actively manage daily operations and care standards.
  • International master franchise opportunities available, especially in markets outside North America, with customizable business models and global support structures.

Who They’re Looking For

  • Leadership and service-driven entrepreneurial spirit, with experience or passion for managing a caregiving team and local networks.
  • Commitment to client well-being and high regulatory compliance standards, with integrity and relationship focus.
  • Drive to grow territory or expand into multi-unit ownership, leveraging strong peer support and corporate coaching.
