    Success through Caring


    Ask any Comfort Keepers franchise owner about being in the business of providing care for seniors, and they will tell you that it is one of the most rewarding ways they have ever earned a living. With approximately 36 million aging adults in America - and that number is expected to exceed 70 million over the next two decades, a fertile new industry has rapidly been growing, offering an entrepreneurial path to build a business and touch people's lives.

    We invite you to learn more about the Comfort Keepers franchise program where you can achieve success through caring.

    Why Comfort Keepers?

    • We are ranked as one of the Top 3 Franchise Systems in Senior Care by Entrepreneur magazine and have become one of the fastest-growing new franchises in America, as recognized by INC., Wall Street Journal, Successful Franchises, Entrepreneur, HGTV, and over 100 major newspapers.
    • We believe our caregivers are our greatest asset. Our entire system is built around recruiting, training, and retaining the highest quality of caregivers for all of our clients.
    • This is a business of caring. There is nothing more rewarding you can do in your life than be able to positively touch people's lives. You can find businesses that are personally rewarding and you can find businesses that are financially rewarding, but it is not every day you can be in a business that can be both!
    • We are very committed to building the Comfort Keepers business with strong, pre-qualified entrepreneurs. The quality of our franchisees reflects the quality of our company.
    • Our client satisfaction ratings surpass 95 percent. We continually survey the quality or our services - No other company can match our client satisfaction levels.
    • Comfort Keepers was recently recognized as a Top 50 Franchisor by Franchise Business Review, based on their survey of our franchise owners.
