BrightStar Care

Leading In-Home Care Franchise Provides A Higher Standard of Care

With the baby boomer generation reaching their late 60s and 70s, and nearly 47 million seniors in the United States, we are experiencing a surge in in-home care – a sector of healthcare that provides medical and non-medical care from the comfort of one’s home.

BrightStar Care, the leading national franchise specializing in providing A Higher Standard of care, was created in 2002 in an effort to provide a full range of services to clients who wish to remain at home during a particular recovery.

The concept grew organically from a first-hand experience from the founder, Shelly Sun. After caring for a loved one, Shelly saw a need for a company that could provide A Higher Standard of care for clients around the clock, serviced in the place clients feel their most comfortable and at ease – the home.

“This is a very rewarding industry to be a part of, as we’re making a difference in people’s lives each and every day,” said Pete First, Senior Vice President of Franchise Development. “BrightStar Care sets itself apart from other home care agencies by offering services in all three segments – personal, companion, and skilled. Each of our independently owned and operated locations can offer personalized and tailored care plans, which are all overseen by a Director of Nursing and professional care team. This allows our franchisee’s to keep their clients in their homes longer while providing peace of mind and assurance to the client and their families.”

Even more, the services are offered to everyone – from those recovering from an athletic injury, to those who want or need to age in place. Each BrightStar Care location employs RNs, therapists, LPNs, CNAs, and HHAs as part of its care staff. In search for qualified applicants for its continued expansion, BrightStar Care is looking for educated individuals who are self-motivated and have a high level of business acumen. Prospective franchisees must have the ability to manage and lead a team but are not required to have a healthcare background. It is important to note that qualified prospects must have liquid assets of $150,000 or more.

With over 330 locations throughout the U.S., BrightStar Care has received The Joint Commission’s Enterprise Champion for Quality award every year since the award’s inception – the only national home care franchise to accomplish this. It has been named No. 1 in the low-investment category for Forbes 2019 America’s Best Franchises, and was ranked No. 75 on Entrepreneur Magazine’s Franchise 500 list. Most recently, the franchise was inducted into the Franchise Business Review’s Hall of Fame, a distinction given to franchises that have been named a top franchise by the publication ten times.
