COMFORT KEEPERS

COMFORT KEEPERS

Comfort Keepers franchises operate in-home care businesses providing homemaker/companionship services, personal care, and personal technology services and equipment to the elderly and other adults needing assistance with daily living. Qualified franchisees may also offer approved private duty nursing services, with care plans customized from periodic to live-in arrangements. The primary target market is individuals aged 65 and older, a demographic projected to grow significantly by 2050, competing in the expanding in-home care industry.

Data Based On: Data extracted from Table No. 1, which summarizes the financial performance of 517 non-SDX franchised businesses that had been operating for at least 12 months and reported revenue for every month during the Reporting Period (September 1, 2023, through August 31, 2024).

* All net revenue figures are considered gross revenue, as per the definition provided on page 1 (stated as 'Gross Revenue' in the Franchise Agreement). No net income, net profit, or EBITDA could be derived as expense information is explicitly excluded from the financial performance representations, as stated on page 5. Unit-level quartile data for individual franchise units is not provided; Table No. 2 presents franchisee-level data, which is not used for individual franchise unit-level quartiles to adhere to the 'Extract ONLY individual franchise unit performance data' rule.
