Home Helpers Home Care surges to 400 franchise territories

Home Helpers Home Care revealed that it has a healthy pipeline of new growth.

The in-home care franchise reported it signed 12 new franchise agreements during its third quarter of 2026. The Blue Ash-based brand also opened 15 new locations, including expansion from existing franchisees.

The company also announced that it has now reached 400 franchise territories. Altogether, Home Helpers Home Care has signed 30 new franchise agreements year to date.

Franchise growth milestones

“Reaching 400 franchise territories is a meaningful milestone because each represents an opportunity to help more families access care in their communities,” said Emma Dickison, CEO and president of Home Helpers Home Care. “Our franchisees are driving that growth through their commitment to clients and caregivers, and we’re focused on giving them the support they need to build strong businesses and deliver compassionate care.”

New locations during the quarter include openings in Providence, Knightdale, Durham and Chapel Hill, North Carolina; Yukon, Oklahoma; Muncie, Indiana; western Connecticut; and Asbury Park, New Jersey.

The brand also made a key leadership move during the period, promoting longtime franchise development leader Bobby Kelley to chief development officer. Kelley will oversee continued expansion and franchise growth, supporting the brand’s next stage of development, the company said.

Technology partnerships

The brand also expanded its partnership with Aloe Care Health, which powers Home Helpers Home Care’s Direct Link 24-hour monitoring services and medical alert system. The technology features conversational wellness calls, medication reminders, fall and bed sensors and automated safety monitoring, which complement in-person visits to help care teams focus on direct support.

“Technology should strengthen the human connection at the heart of home care, not replace it,” Dickison said. “Our expanded Aloe Care Health partnership gives franchisees additional tools to stay connected with clients between visits and identify concerns that may need attention. Alongside investments in our leadership team, these capabilities help position our owners to serve more families as our system grows.”

Looking ahead, Home Helpers Home Care is recruiting franchise candidates in multiple major markets, including Minneapolis-St. Paul; Phoenix and Tucson, Arizona; Houston and Austin, Texas; Atlanta; Pittsburgh; San Diego and the San Francisco Bay Area in California; and several Florida markets, including Orlando and the Miami-Fort Lauderdale-West Palm Beach region.
