There are 111 listings in this section of the directory. 101 of them state a starting investment, ranging from $100 to $474,720, with a median of $75,850. Figures are franchisor-supplied and should be confirmed before you rely on them.
Senior care is the category with the clearest long-term demand in this directory, for the simple reason that the Canadian population over 75 is growing faster than any other age group and most of those people want to stay in their own homes. Non-medical home care, which covers companionship, personal support, meal preparation and transport, is the most commonly franchised model. It needs no premises beyond a small office, so the investment is moderate and goes mostly into licensing, recruitment and marketing rather than fit-out.
The business is a staffing business. Your capacity is the number of reliable caregivers you can recruit, train, schedule and keep, and caregiver turnover is the number that decides whether the operation works. Ask any franchisor in this category what their franchisees actually experience for turnover, what the recruiting support consists of in practice, and what the scheduling software costs. A model that assumes caregivers are easy to find is not describing the current labour market.
Funding is the other thing to understand before you compare listings. Some of this work is private pay, some is funded through provincial home care programmes, and some comes through insurers or veterans programmes. The mix varies by province and it changes both your billing rates and how long you wait to be paid. Concepts that involve regulated nursing or personal support work carry qualification requirements on top, so confirm what applies where you intend to operate.
Based on the 101 listings here that state a starting investment. The other 10 give no figure, or give one that cannot be read as a number.
Head office locations for the listings on this page: Ontario (5), British Columbia (1). Head office is not the same as where territory is available, so ask the franchisor which provinces they are currently granting.
For non-medical home care, usually not. Those models cover companionship, personal support, meals and transport, and the owner runs recruitment, scheduling and sales rather than delivering care. Concepts that include regulated nursing or personal support work carry qualification requirements, so ask which services the model includes and what your province requires for each.
Recruiting and keeping caregivers. Capacity is set by staff, not by demand, and turnover in this sector is high. Ask the franchisor what turnover their existing franchisees see, and what the recruitment support actually consists of beyond a template job advert.
A mix, and it varies by province. Some is private pay from families, some is funded through provincial home care programmes, and some comes via insurers or veterans programmes. The mix affects both your rates and how quickly you get paid, so ask what it looks like in the territory you are considering.
