CareDiem Home Care is a non-medical in-home care franchise that delivers personalized services to seniors and individuals in need of support. The company was originally founded in 2013 as At Your Service HomeCare in Palatine, Illinois. It later rebranded to CareDiem under the leadership of Grishma Patel and Danielle Rajoo.
Headquartered in Palatine, Illinois, CareDiem Franchising, LLC was officially formed in 2024 to begin offering franchise opportunities. The company provides a variety of care services, including companion care, live-in assistance, dementia care, sitter services, and respite care.
Services are offered through flexible hourly, live-in, a-la-carte, and fully catered programs. Franchising began in 2024 with a focus on helping local entrepreneurs launch home-based care businesses.
CareDiem sets itself apart through its CLIENT-DRIVEN C.A.R.E. values: Commitment, Accountability, Respect, and Empathy. The brand emphasizes client independence, rigorous caregiver screening, and technology-supported scheduling.
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.
CareDiem provides a thorough and multi-faceted training program designed to prepare franchisees for the effective operation of their home health care business.
CareDiem provides its franchisees with a protected territory to operate their franchised business, typically defined by ZIP codes and based on a minimum senior population of 30,000 residents aged 65 or older.
This territory is granted with the expectation that the franchisee will focus service efforts within the defined boundaries, and the franchisor agrees not to authorize another franchise or corporate operation using the same system within that territory, as long as the franchisee remains in compliance.
The size of the territory generally remains stable during the agreement term and can be expanded with additional fees if the franchisor approves. While CareDiem ensures initial territorial protection, there are stipulations regarding business activity outside the assigned area.
