Home Helpers Home Care Adds 18 Franchise Deals

Home Helpers Home Care signed 18 franchise agreements and opened 13 new locations in the first half of 2026, continuing a steady expansion push in the in-home care category. The brand also completed two franchise expansions and named a new chief financial officer during the period.

Growth Accelerated in the Second Quarter

The brand signed seven agreements and opened nine locations in the first quarter, then picked up the pace with 11 new agreements and four openings in the second quarter. That acceleration comes as demand for in-home senior care keeps climbing, driven by an aging population that increasingly wants to stay independent at home rather than move into assisted living.

A Leadership Change at the Top of Finance

Nick Evans took over as chief financial officer, succeeding Bill Burlingham, who retired after 11 years with the company. Leadership turnover at the corporate level is worth watching for franchisees, since a new CFO often means fresh scrutiny of royalty structures, financing programs and how the brand allocates marketing dollars across its system.

Where the Brand Is Recruiting Next

Home Helpers is actively targeting franchise candidates in Minneapolis-St. Paul, Phoenix, Tucson, Houston, Austin, Atlanta, Pittsburgh, San Diego, the San Francisco Bay Area and several Florida markets, including Orlando and Miami-Fort Lauderdale-West Palm Beach. For prospective owners, that list signals where the brand sees the clearest gap between senior care demand and existing coverage.
