Why Nurse Next Door Is a Top Home Care Franchise in The United States

Our success is not an accident; it is the direct result of operationalizing empathy and solving the industry's biggest challenges. Here’s how Nurse Next Door has tackled some of the home care industries toughest challenges:

Home Care Business Challenges The Nurse Next Door Solution Statistics to Note
The 24/7 Operational Grind (Fear of the phone ringing at 3 a.m. for a scheduling crisis) 24/7 Centralized Care Services Platform: Round-the-clock admin support with the entire client journey, including initial Intakes, hiring intakes, virtual consults, scheduling and attendance monitoring services. Care Services also tracks data analytics through reporting and dashboards, helping our franchises meet their KPIs. The Care Services Center is a key differentiator that allows Franchise Partners to have a healthier work-life balance and focus on generating revenue.
The Caregiver Retention Crisis (The struggle to find and keep compassionate, high-quality staff) Our Culture First Approach: A commitment to our people promise, which ensures employees love coming to work. We pay competitive wages, support bold dreams and goals, offer growth opportunities and believe in happier aging. The home care industry faces a caregiver turnover rate of nearly 80%. Caregivers often cite feelings of being unsupported, being “on-call” all the time and frustration with unpredictable schedules.
The Impersonal Care Model (Clients treated like tasks on a checklist) The Happier Aging® Philosophy: Our trademarked approach is built around helping clients reconnect with their passions and purpose. We go beyond the task. We ask, “What did you used to love doing that you no longer do?” Then we build care around reconnecting seniors with those passions. See how Happier Aging® changes lives in this short video. Nurse Next Door's average revenue per client is consistently strong, demonstrating that families are willing to invest in premium, purpose-driven care.
The High Cost of Entry (Worrying about massive investment risk) A Top Franchise for Under $150K: Our ranking on the Top Franchises for Less Than $150,000 list shows that you can enter this booming, recession-resilient industry with an accessible initial investment. Initial franchise investment typically ranges from $119,115 to $215,600, making a purposeful career achievable.
Cost for Clients A Revenue Model Built on Private Pay and Client Programs: Our revenue model combines multiple revenue streams to maximize earnings. Revenue sources range from veterans affairs and Medicare to facility staffing. This not only provides more revenue for franchisees but also eases the financial burden on clients. While Private Pay (which constitutes over 60% of total revenue for home care agencies)offers the highest margins and control over pricing, our contracted streams provide consistent revenue and client flow that protects the business against market fluctuations.

Don’t believe us, here are some numbers from our last year:

  • We made 70 global transactions across the United States, Canada, England, and Australia
  • As of 2024, the “average Gross Sales per client per month” for franchise businesses during their twelfth month of operation was $3,188
