BURKBURNETT, Texas—HomeWell Care Services, a non-medical homecare provider, announced it was identified by Franchise Business Review (FBR) as one of 2024’s top 100 franchises for veterans. As a result, the company said HomeWell intends to offer veteran owners 20% off franchise fees, as well as necessary tools and resources to launch their homecare agencies.
“We’re honored to receive this award, as it reflects the hard work and dedication of our entire team,” said Crystal Franz, CEO of HomeWell Franchising. “Our veteran franchise owners bring remarkable wisdom and leadership to the homecare industry. As a franchisor, supporting these heroes—in business and in life—is an honor and a responsibility we take to heart every day.”
To determine what companies would be included on this year’s list, FBR analyzed data from more than 2,500 franchise owners that represented 385 brands regarding overall satisfaction with the brands and likelihood to recommend them to others.
HomeWell franchisees were surveyed about their experiences and satisfaction with critical areas of their franchise systems, such as leadership, training, support, franchisor/franchisee relations and financial opportunity.
“With so many franchises competing for the attention of potential veteran franchise owners, knowing which brands are the best franchises for veterans can be challenging,” said Eric Stites, founder and CEO of FBR. “Many franchises offer special incentives to veterans, but what really matters is what happens after they buy a franchise. The companies on this year’s list of the top franchises for veterans received the highest ratings from the veterans who own them, making them all excellent options for veterans looking to make the transition to business ownership.”
HomeWell aims to support veterans both as business owners and as clients. Currently, the company has 29 agencies nationwide that are credentialed Community Care Network providers with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. These agencies intend to assist veteran clients and their families in navigating their benefits, including determining eligibility for programs like Aid and Attendance.
