Established in 2003 and launching its franchise operations in 2004, AmeriCare is headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia. By 2024, the brand had grown to more than 30 locations across the U.S. and Canada.
The franchise’s offerings include companionship, transportation, help with meals, light housekeeping, as well as bathing and grooming support.
A key advantage that sets AmeriCare apart is its unique Accelerated Client Enrollment (ACE) Program, designed to simplify client onboarding and help franchise owners get up and running faster. AmeriCare’s model primarily serves private-pay customers, allowing for adaptable care plans that meet each client’s unique needs.
Here's what you would need to invest if you were to start this franchise. These costs are provided by the franchisor in the Franchise Disclosure Document.
AmeriCare offers a structured training program for its franchisees and area representatives to ensure proper business operations and service delivery.
AmeriCare grants its franchisees an exclusive territory, typically defined by zip codes, where no other AmeriCare franchises will be placed. This exclusivity includes protection from the franchisor and its affiliates selling goods or services in the territory through alternative channels like the internet or direct marketing.
The franchisee’s right to exclusivity is contingent upon meeting a development schedule, such as opening a set number of units over time.,If a franchisee fails to meet the agreed development milestones, AmeriCare may revoke the right to sell new franchises in the area, though the franchisee retains the right to operate existing units.
Additionally, franchisees are not allowed to solicit or accept business from outside their territory without permission, reinforcing the boundaries of their protected area. AmeriCare also commits to defending its trademarks and cooperating with franchisees in case of infringement issues within the territory.
