Launched in 2001 in Vancouver, British Columbia, Nurse Next Door began as a solution to a personal challenge. Founders Ken Sim and John DeHart were inspired to create the business after Sim experienced difficulty finding quality care for his wife, Teena, who was on emergency bed rest during her pregnancy.
Headquartered in Vancouver, Nurse Next Door has grown into a global franchise since it began offering franchising opportunities in 2007.
Today, the company operates more than 400 locations across Canada, the United States, Australia, and England, providing a broad spectrum of services that include everything from simple companionship to 24/7 licensed nursing support.
A key element that distinguishes Nurse Next Door is its “Happier Aging” philosophy. Rather than simply addressing physical care needs, the company emphasizes helping clients reconnect with activities that bring joy and meaning to their lives.
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.
Nurse Next Door provides comprehensive training to its franchisees through a series of structured programs aimed at ensuring successful operation and adherence to brand standards:
Nurse Next Door offers its franchisees a defined territory, generally containing at least 10,000 resident senior citizens based on U.S. census data. The franchisor agrees not to establish another franchise within that territory solely because of population growth.
Franchisees can market both within and outside of their assigned territory as long as they comply with franchisor policies.
However, this territory protection is conditional. If a franchisee fails to meet minimum performance requirements or breaches the agreement, Nurse Next Door reserves the right to reduce or eliminate the territory, or even allow other franchisees or company-owned operations to serve clients in that area.
