SYNERGY HomeCare Retains Fastest-Growing Franchisor Title
With 101 new territories sold in 2025 alone, SYNERGY HomeCare has secured its position as the fastest-growing franchisor in the home care industry for the sixth consecutive year. The Tempe-based company now stands as the second-largest system in the non-medical home care space, managing a footprint of 626 territories.
The brand’s expansion shows no sign of cooling, with an additional 33 territories added during the first half of 2026. Since December 2019, the network has grown by 86%, bolstered by broader demographic shifts, including the daily milestone of 10,000 Americans turning 65. The U.S. Census Bureau notes that the South is seeing the most significant spike in its older population, a region that currently hosts the highest concentration of the company's new franchise operations.
Beyond rapid territorial growth, the organization is focusing on service quality and technological integration. It recently partnered with Sensi AI, a platform that utilizes non-invasive audio sensors to monitor the physical and emotional well-being of seniors. This commitment to care is reflected in the performance of individual operators; Activated Insights awarded 115 SYNERGY franchises the 2026 Best of Home Care designation, with six agencies earning spots in the national top 100.
CEO Charlie Young attributes the sustained momentum to a combination of franchisee support and the increasing demand for specialized programs, such as memory and cancer care. According to Chief Growth Officer Mike Steed, the strategy remains focused on the success of individual owners through centralized marketing, technology, and operational resources rather than simple numerical expansion.
