Strong Growth and Exceptional Support Launch This Franchise to #1 in its Category Senior Helpers claims the top spot in senior care on the 2025 Franchise 500.

As members of the baby boomer generation continue to age, the demand for senior care and in-home care services is…booming. Each day, 10,000 boomers turn 65, and the entire generation—more than 70 million people—will reach that age by the not-so-distant year of 2030¹. Additionally, a recent survey found that most adults aged 50 and older (75%) wish to remain in their current homes as they age².

One company that is prepared for this transition is Senior Helpers, which ranks #1 in the senior care category on this year's Franchise 500 list. Senior Helpers ranks #152 overall, up 20 spots from #172 last year.

"In-home care has proven to be a recession-resistant industry, as senior care remains a necessity regardless of economic conditions," says Peter Ross, co-founder and CEO. "Senior Helpers provides a wide range of services—from personalized care to specialized dementia and Parkinson's care—offering multiple revenue streams and the ability to meet diverse client needs."

When Entrepreneur evaluates franchises for the Franchise 500, we look at more than 150 data points — including very visible ones like size and growth, but we also take a holistic view of the business, the industry it operates in, and the opportunities available to prospective franchisees.

With steady growth every year, Senior Helpers has 387 total units, up nearly 17% over the last three years. The company also ranks in the top 1% on this year's list for support.

Committed to providing top-notch care

The team at Senior Helpers realizes that training its franchise owners and providing ongoing support is key to success. This starts with ensuring that caregivers are highly skilled and prepared to provide compassionate and quality care to meet a wide range of client needs, such as dementia, Parkinson's disease, personal care plans, and more.

Senior Helpers also integrates technology to improve care quality, streamline operations, and enhance communication between clients, families, and caregivers. It developed an assessment tool called the LIFE Profile Assessment, which utilizes more than two decades of data in a proprietary tool used by Senior Helpers to evaluate clients' care needs. It enables the creation of tailored care plans that address safety, independence, and overall well-being, setting a higher standard for individualized care.

This commitment to care is why Senior Helpers says it became the first homecare organization in the U.S. to receive the CHAP-certified Age-Friendly Care at Home certification last year.

"Becoming a Senior Helpers franchise owner allows you to make a meaningful impact in your community by helping seniors age in place with dignity and independence," Ross says. Being able to improve the quality of life for the elderly and giving peace of mind to their families is an ancillary reward of owning a senior care franchise."
