With over 600 territories, an AUV over $1 million and a proven track record of over 25 years, Comfort Keepers has firmly established itself as one of the top contenders in the senior care industry.
IRVINE, Calif., Jan. 15, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Comfort Keepers®, a leader in the home care industry for over 25 years, is wrapping up an impressive year of growth and innovation. The brand, which has been elevating the human spirit through compassionate care for over 25 years, made significant strides in franchise development, operational transformation and franchisee success in 2024.
Scott Oaks, vice president of franchise development, reflected on the year's achievements, highlighting the brand's strategic pivot and its focus on expanding franchise opportunities.
"The first half of the year was focused on a strategy that saw us shift away from operating a large number of corporate locations and moving back to full franchising," said Oaks. "We had around 80 corporate territories, most of which were sold to existing franchisees and employees this past year."
By year's end, Comfort Keepers had re-franchised nearly all the corporate territories, a testament to the strength of its franchisee network. "For us, it was a really good sign of the confidence franchisees have in our system and the direction we are heading," Oaks said.
The second half of 2024 marked a renewed focus on building infrastructure and franchise development. "We revamped our franchise development website, which wrapped up in mid-August. We're now getting the lead generation wheels turning, resulting in strong pipeline activity," said Oaks. "It has injected a shot of adrenaline into the organization and helped us reconnect with the amazing stories of our franchisees and caregivers."
As the brand tracks toward signing 30 new territories in 2025 — the highest in recent years — Comfort Keepers continues to see significant interest from both new and existing franchisees.
"We've had existing franchisees expanding into new territories, such as Christopher McClintock in Chattanooga, Tennessee, and Brad Godwin in Little Rock, Arkansas. We also welcomed new franchisees like Femme and Barbra Adebayo in Ontario, California, and a referral-driven new franchisee in Munsee, Louisiana," Oaks said.
And prospective franchisees have plenty of reasons to be excited. Comfort Keepers stands out with its Interactive Caregiving™ philosophy, focusing on holistic care for seniors' mind, body and spirit. This innovative approach has propelled the brand to an average unit volume (AUV) of $1.1 million and earned it accolades like Newsweek's "Best of the Best in Home Care."
"Year-over-year, we're hitting double-digit growth," said Oaks. "This is not a passing fad of an industry — it's a consistent and growing opportunity for people who want to make a difference."
With over 350 territories still available in high-demand markets such as Houston, Seattle and St. Louis, Comfort Keepers is actively seeking passionate entrepreneurs to join its network.
"Our franchisees are not just business owners; they're community leaders making a real difference," Oaks said. "This business offers financial success, independence and control, all while elevating the human spirit."
With a robust support system, a proven track record of over 25 years, and a mission rooted in care, Comfort Keepers is poised for another year of exceptional growth in 2025.
