The Growing Need for Home Care

America is getting older, and the need for home care is growing right along with it. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, every baby boomer will be 65 or older by 2030, and by 2029, older adults are projected to outnumber children in the U.S. for the first time in history.

At the same time, most seniors would much rather stay in their own homes than move into a facility. Non-medical home care makes that possible, helping with everyday tasks like meal preparation, light housekeeping, personal care, transportation, and companionship.

For families, it brings peace of mind. For franchise owners, it’s a chance to build a business around a service that communities genuinely need. That’s why so many people exploring elderly care franchise opportunities are drawn to in-home care. It’s meaningful work with steady, long-term demand.

What Is a Home Care Franchise Territory?

A home care franchise territory is the geographic area where you can operate your Touching Hearts at Home business. It’s where you’ll market your services, build relationships with referral sources, and send caregivers to support clients in their homes. 

Touching Hearts territories are defined by county and/or zip code. Instead of basing territory size on total population, we size each territory based on the number of seniors who live there. As a general guideline, the FDD calls for a territory to include at least 20,000 adults age 65 or older. We also:

  • Assess how many potential clients can afford private-pay care, so your territory can support a sustainable business.
  • Grant each owner a Protected Territory under the Franchise Agreement. The Protected Territory is not fully exclusive, and the FDD explains exactly what protection applies.

General FDD guideline

20,000+

adults age 65 or older in each territory, sized by seniors rather than total population.

Full territory terms are outlined in the Franchise Disclosure Document and the Franchise Agreement.

Finding Your Perfect Location

Choosing a territory is a collaborative process. We combine your preferences and local knowledge with our experience and demographic software to find the best fit.

When evaluating a territory, we look at factors like:

Senior population trends, including how quickly the number of older adults is growing
Proximity to healthcare facilities, such as hospitals, rehab centers, and physician offices, which are valuable referral sources
Labor availability, including access to nursing schools and healthcare training centers that can help you recruit caregivers
Local demand for non-medical home care services

High-Growth Markets with Territories Available

Some of our most promising markets are in states with large or fast-growing senior populations. Here are a few hot markets where we’re actively looking for owners
