NURSE NEXT DOOR
Nurse Next Door franchises provide non-medical care and skilled nursing services to clients in their homes, including respite care, personal support, companionship, meal preparation, light homemaking, transportation, medication management, dementia care, and general nursing. Franchisees may also offer supplemental healthcare staffing to institutional clients such as hospitals, retirement facilities, and clinics, as well as services funded by government programs like the Department of Veterans Affairs. The business model involves operating under the Nurse Next Door system with required licensing, staffing by registered nurses, and customized care plans targeting individuals needing in-home care to maintain independence.

Financial Performance
Item 19 Financial Performance
Data Based On: 33 franchised territories that were in operation twelve (12) months or longer on September 30, 2024, showing Gross Sales from their first twelve (12) months of operation.
* Gross revenue and median gross revenue are based on the 'Gross Sales For Months 1 – 12' (Chart 1) data, which represents the first twelve months of operation for 33 franchised territories. This period was chosen as it includes the largest sample size for a 12-month period. The document explicitly states that figures 'do not reflect the costs of sales, operating expenses, or other costs or expenses... to obtain your net income or profit,' therefore, profit-related fields are set to null.
