CARE HOMES
BrightStar Care Homes franchises enable operators to develop and manage up to three 10-to-12-bed assisted-living and memory-care communities in residential settings, providing supervised residential assisted-living, memory-care, and ancillary services to seniors and individuals in need. Franchisees must staff qualified healthcare professionals 24/7 and comply with all relevant healthcare regulations.
