The Houston home health and hospice provider is opening its 18-year-old care model to franchisees as it looks to expand beyond Texas.
Capital is consolidating around operators who run ten units like one. What that means for valuations, financing, and the next wave of franchise M&A.

The multi-unit operator has quietly become the most important actor in franchising. Capital is flowing toward groups that can run portfolios with shared back-office leverage.
Shared management, shared data, and shared technology turn fixed costs into spread costs. The unit economics that matter now are portfolio-level.
Increasingly, acquirers price the operating system — the playbooks and tooling — as much as the cash flow. Repeatability is the premium.
