Visiting Angels - America's Choice In Homecare
Establishing a successful business format enables an organization to retrace its steps and fine-tune its systems. To create a successful franchising system, an organization is required to duplicate and share its proven blueprint for success.
VISITING ANGELS has established over 600 franchise locations in all 50 states across the United States. Internet search data shows that Visiting Angels is the best known brand in private duty home care due to our national advertising campaign on internet, radio and TV. Visiting Angels was rated #1 in franchisee satisfaction among senior care franchises by Franchise Business Review (franchisebusinessreview.com; January, 2020). We were ranked #3 across all franchise industries out of 500 franchise companies. Our franchisees individually average more than $1 Million annual gross revenues! We advertise and market nationally for home care client leads and distribute thousands of home care client leads each month to our franchisees.
Our franchised agencies thrive collectively from some of the most caring business owners in the world. Together, they have utilized countless resources at their fingertips to provide communities with jobs and, most importantly, the care our seniors deserve.
Owning a business is hard work, but it can also be extremely rewarding. To help support you in your efforts, Visiting Angels provides our network of owners with:

Why Senior Care?
Our seniors deserve options. One of the most appealing options a senior can have is safety and independence in the comfort of their own home. This peace of mind is just as important to seniors as it is to the loved-ones that share in their concerns. Think about it: Wouldn’t you rather Mom and Dad be safe and in the comfort of their own home rather than in an expensive institution with revolving care?
As our country’s population continues to age (according to the U.S. Census, by the year 2030, there will be over 57.8 million “baby boomers” between the ages of 66 and 84), the demand for quality homecare is sure to increase.
Get Started Today!
Our franchise fee is as low as $49,950 (standard franchise $59,950) and the royalty is just 3.5% of revenues – compared to 5%-7% in some other home care franchises. This amount decreases to 3.0% at greater volume, and above a certain level of revenues, you'll pay no additional royalty!
