Leading Senior Care Franchise Once Again in Entrepreneur Magazine’s Top 500 Franchises

DAYTON, Ohio – CK Franchising, Inc,  an international franchisor that offers companionship and other in-home services primarily for seniors under the COMFORT KEEPERS® brand, has been ranked once again as one of the top three franchises in senior care in Entrepreneur Magazine’s Franchise 500®. This is a position the company has now held for five consecutive years.

Entrepreneur Magazine’s annual list is developed through a formula that takes franchise systems and evaluates their stability, growth, financial strength and various other qualities. Also considered are the number of years in business and length of time franchising, startup costs, litigation and percentage of terminations and whether the company provides financing.

The Franchise 500 is the oldest and most comprehensive evaluation of franchise systems. The magazine also states that senior-care services are a growing trend throughout the US, and that the industry is maturing beautifully.

“We are thrilled and honored to be included in this list of respected franchises,” said Jeff Bevis, executive vice president of franchise development for Comfort Keepers. “We have developed a franchise model that works very well in the non-medical in-home care industry. Our hard work and dedication as a franchise system is reflected in this list.”

Comfort Keepers provides in-home services on an hourly, daily or weekly basis with tailored packages customized to an individual’s needs. Packages include companionship, meal preparation, light housekeeping, grocery shopping, incidental transportation, laundry, recreational activities and more.

The services provided allow older adults to remain living in the comfort of their own homes. The services are a solution to a growing cultural concern surrounding quality care for seniors. A continual increase in the aging population is causing a growing demand for in-home care. This along with familial time and distance constraints makes Comfort Keepers an ideal solution.

Comfort Keepers offices employ dependable, caring and friendly staff, each of whom has been carefully screened, bonded and insured by Workers’ Compensation for the peace of mind of clients and their families. Services may vary by location based on client needs and local practices.
