SENIORS HELPING SENIORS
Seniors Helping Seniors franchises provide non-medical and medical in-home personal services, including companion care, homemaker services, transportation, shopping, light handyman work, personal care, Alzheimer’s/dementia care, and skilled nursing services like medication management and wound care. The business model uniquely pairs senior caregivers with senior care recipients, allowing seniors to age in place independently while providing meaningful work opportunities for senior providers. The target market is elderly individuals, their families, and homeowners needing home-based care services in a competitive in-home care industry.

Financial Performance
Item 19 Financial Performance
Data Based On: Historical data collected from 134 franchised units that were open and operating for the 12-month period beginning January 1, 2025, through December 31, 2025. This sample includes both 1st and 2nd year owners.
* Average gross revenue and median gross revenue are taken from Section I, 'Average Annual Revenue - Full System', for 'All Units' in 2025. Profit estimates (best_guess_profit_low and best_guess_profit_high) were calculated using the 2025 average annual revenue ($905,861) and expense percentages from the 'Notes to Section I' (item 8e, 8f, 8g, 8i). These expense percentages are based on a survey of 62 franchisees. For best_guess_profit_low, average expense percentages (Caregiver Payroll: 53.3%, Office Staff Payroll: 12.8%, Advertising/Marketing: 7.2%) and average annual rent ($21,456, derived from $1,788/month) were used. For best_guess_profit_high, median expense percentages (Caregiver Payroll: 53%, Office Staff Payroll: 10%, Advertising/Marketing: 5%) and median annual rent ($15,456, derived from $1,288/month) were used. These calculations represent estimated operating profit before other potential overhead, depreciation, interest, and taxes.

In the exploding senior care sector, Seniors Helping Seniors pitches a heartfelt twist: matching active seniors as caregivers to those needing in-home help. Item 19 lays bare revenue and profit snapshots from real units, while FDD metrics on expansions and exits paint a fuller operational picture. But with litigation whispers and steady-but-not-spectacular growth, does this peer model deliver reliable returns or just warm fuzzies?
Franchising since 2006, the system has expanded to 224 franchise locations plus 2 corporates, signaling solid traction in a high-demand field—projected 39 new units underscore optimism, though 9 terminations and just 2 transfers last year hint at moderate churn rather than explosive scaling. Item 7 pegs total investment at $95,235-$155,940, kicked off by a $55,000 franchise fee; ongoing hits include a 6% royalty (tiered to 5% over $400K sales or monthly minimum), 1% brand fund, and hefty ~$847/month tech stack (CRM, training platforms, etc.). Item 19 shines brightest: average gross sales hit $905,861, median $668,384, with estimated profits ranging $220,409-$274,420—translating to healthy 24-30% margins on medians if costs hold.
SBA financing bolsters appeal, with 37 loans averaging $218,554 and a low 5.4% default rate, far better than many service franchises. Yet litigation notes flag franchisee gripes over FDD renewals, contract breaches, and master licenses—watch for support gaps. Overall, robust revenues make this a contender for operators eyeing senior care's tailwinds, but vet local competition and those fixed fees closely; it's no home run without execution.
