›How to read it

Territory size — How many people the filing says a standard territory holds, on the basis that filing uses.

Higher means more people in the patch an owner is given. Lower means a tighter patch, which may be denser.

Territories sized on everyone and territories sized on seniors are different measures and are never ranked together.

Every system on this measure

Sort any column. A blank means the filing does not disclose it, never zero.

HomecareHQ analysis of 23 home care franchise systems’ 2026 disclosure documents. Listed alphabetically until you sort it.

Measured differently, so shown on their own

5 systems size their territories on total population rather than residents aged 65 and over. That is a different measurement, not a smaller one, so they are shown on their own and never ranked against the rest.

What to ask next

How to read this data

  • These are each system's own disclosures, not our opinion of them. Every number on this page comes out of a filing the system published itself. Where we calculate something — an effective royalty, a fee load, a growth rate — we show the inputs and the formula alongside it.
  • A blank means the filing did not say, never zero. Systems disclose different things, so most measures are filed by some of the field and not all of it. Where a figure rests on part of the field, we say how much of it.
  • Nothing here is a ranking. Most of these measures have no better direction: a lower royalty is not automatically a better system, and a bigger territory is not automatically a better deal. We show where a system sits and leave the judgement to you.
