## Story

SAN ANTONIO – Caring Senior Service has been named a Top Franchise for 2026 by Franchise Business Review (FBR).

Caring Senior Service was one of more than 330 franchise brands representing more than 26,000 franchise owners who participated in FBR’s 2026 research. Franchisees evaluated their experience across 33 core benchmarks, including training and support, operations, franchisor-franchisee relations, leadership, culture and financial opportunity.

“Consistently earning this recognition shows that our franchise model is working and that owners feel supported as they grow their businesses and serve seniors in their communities,” said Jeff Salter, founder and CEO of Caring Senior Service. “When franchisees have the right tools, training and operational support, it allows them to focus on delivering high-quality care and building strong local teams. This ultimately benefits the seniors and families who rely on us.”

Unlike awards based on brand awareness or application fees, FBR’s rankings are determined solely by franchisee satisfaction and system performance. The firm surveys franchise owners directly and evaluates results using standardized benchmarks to ensure credibility and comparability across brands.

“Franchisee satisfaction is one of the most reliable indicators of long-term franchise performance,” said Michelle Rowan, president of Franchise Business Review. “This year’s Top Franchise winners significantly outperformed industry averages, demonstrating strength in the areas that matter most to franchise owners: leadership, support, innovation, culture and financial opportunity. These brands are not just growing; they are building healthy, resilient systems.”
