SYNERGY HomeCare Marks 4th Year as Fastest-Growing Franchisor

TEMPE, Arizona—SYNERGY® HomeCare, a national homecare franchise, led the homecare industry in territory sales growth for the fourth consecutive year in 2023 and continued momentum through the first half of 2024. SYNERGY HomeCare, an Entrepreneur 500 ranked enterprise and Top 50 Franchise according to Franchise Business Review, celebrated its 25th anniversary this year.

Over the past four years, SYNERGY HomeCare awarded more territories than any other franchisor in the homecare category, according to a review of franchise disclosure documents (FDDs) and other public records of all homecare franchisors who are members of the International Franchise Association (IFA).

SYNERGY HomeCare ended 2023 with 499 territories, which represents a 65% increase in its geographic footprint since December 2019. This accelerated growth has continued to build in 2024.

Entrepreneur 500 recognized SYNERGY HomeCare as one of the fastest-growing franchises based on unit growth and ranked the company #52 on the 2024 Fastest Growing Franchise list.

“Our key priorities continue to be growth-oriented: adding new companies, helping our existing companies build their bottom line, enhancing our service offerings and expanding access to professional homecare to more people across the country,” said CEO Charlie Young. “Homecare is an increasingly important component of the care continuum, and we are committed to being well-positioned to leverage that momentum to sustain our growth focus into the future and fulfill our mission to provide a world of care at home for all.”

SYNERGY HomeCare was added to Franchise Business Review’s Culture100 for the third year in a row, which ranks the top 100 companies that foster a company culture focusing on leadership, core values, franchisee community and engagement.

SYNERGY HomeCare continues to make numerous investments in enhancing its programming. It recently introduced a comprehensive cancer care program for people diagnosed with cancer and their families, in which professional non-medical caregivers offer invaluable support during appointments and treatments, as well as provide housekeeping, meal preparation and walking the family dog. These caregivers ensure patients’ homes are free from safety hazards, such as slips, falls and possible illnesses from others, food or germy surfaces. Additionally, caregivers help coordinate appointments, transportation and respite care for patients and their families.

The National Cancer Institute reports that 40% of Americans will develop cancer at some point in their lives.

“While that is a truly sobering statistic, it also represents a tremendous opportunity to help a significant number of people by introducing homecare into the extended cancer care team structure,” said Rich Paul, chief partnership officer.

“We continue to attract multi-faceted, compassionate entrepreneurs who want to do well by doing good,” said Mike Steed, chief growth officer. “The number of Americans who can benefit from homecare is rapidly growing and our turn-key franchise model, sophisticated brand marketing and national referral partners play a key role in helping new franchisees not only build their business but sustain it for the long term.”
