Griswold Named Best of Home Care 2026: What It Means for Franchise Owners

2026-03-18
Contents

Griswold Home Care has been named a Best of Home Care® Endorsed National Provider by Activated Insights for 2026, making it the fourth consecutive year the franchise has earned one of the most respected distinctions in the home care industry. For entrepreneurs evaluating the best home care franchise opportunities available, this recognition reflects system-wide results measured by thousands of interviews with real clients and caregivers.

What the Best of Home Care® Award Means

The Best of Home Care® Endorsed National Provider award celebrates franchises like Griswold Home Care for consistently outperforming industry standards.

To qualify, an organization must meet strict annual requirements, including a minimum of:

  • 50 active locations in North America
  • 10% of individual offices participating in the Activated Insights Experience Management Program
  • 60% of participating offices that have earned their own individual Best of Home Care® awards during the previous year

Griswold Home Care is proud to consistently meet these high standards for:

  • Exceptional client satisfaction
  • Strong caregiver relationships
  • Reliable care standards
  • Consistent service delivery across the network

This recognition is awarded at the system level, reflecting the brand’s commitment to the delivery of high-quality care across the entire franchise network.

What the Best of Home Care® Award Means for Franchise Owners

Brand-level recognition like this offers several tangible benefits to Griswold Home Care franchise owners.

1. Improved Client Trust

Families searching for home care providers face an emotionally charged decision. Awards based on real client feedback, such as the Best of Home Care® Award, can help them quickly and confidently identify reputable senior care services. For our franchise partners, that built-in credibility shortens the path between the first conversation and a signed agreement. 

2. Stronger Caregiver Recruitment

Caregivers have options—and with the home care industry facing an estimated shortage of 4.6 million caregivers by 2032, hiring can be competitive. Skilled caregivers are more likely to choose employment with organizations that demonstrate a genuine commitment to their experience. Owning a nationally recognized brand like Griswold Home Care gives franchisees a competitive edge, attracting stronger candidates and reducing employee turnover.

3. Local Marketing Advantage

Brand recognition is a major asset for franchise owners. Griswold Home Care franchise partners can point to an established track record of client and caregiver satisfaction when marketing their business. That history offers a significant head start over other brands when building trust with families, referral partners, and other local organizations. 

Why Griswold Stands Out as a Home Care Franchise

Griswold Home Care is one of the oldest non-medical home care franchise businesses in the country. Having launched in 1982 and franchising just two years later, the brand has operated in the senior care space for over four decades. During that time, Griswold has refined its home care business model and developed proven systems that franchise partners inherit from day one.

Griswold Home Care franchise owners benefit from:

  • Structured training and onboarding
  • Ongoing operational guidance
  • Scalable growth potential
  • Strong, established brand reputation

Our comprehensive franchise support system includes operational training, dedicated marketing support, and ongoing business coaching, helping owners move from launch to sustainable local growth.

The market our franchise owners are entering is also expanding rapidly. The U.S. home care industry is projected to nearly double in size by 2035, driven by an aging population with a growing preference for care at home. For prospective owners exploring senior care franchise opportunities, entering that market with the backing of a nationally endorsed brand like Griswold offers the strongest possible foundation. 

Invest in a Top Home Care Franchise

Industry recognition at the national provider level reinforces why Griswold Home Care continues to attract entrepreneurs focused on senior care and community impact. An excellent consumer reputation, a growing home care market, and a comprehensive franchise support system create the conditions for a thriving home care business to take root and grow with confidence.

Griswold’s record speaks for itself. For prospective new owners, the question isn’t whether the demand is there—it’s whether you’re ready to meet it. Request more information and start the conversation today.
