Leading Senior Care Franchise in Coachella Valley Opens Second Office in Irvine to Meet Demand in Southern Orange County
ROSEVILLE, Calif. — Always Best Care Senior Services, one of the leading senior care franchise systems in the United States, announced today that franchise owner Eiso Wortelboer has expanded his territory to meet the demand of a growing senior population in Southern California. Wortelboer acquired Always Best Care of Desert Cities in March 2021, providing non-medical in-home care, staffing and senior living referral services throughout the Coachella Valley. He is also an accredited provider with Veterans Affairs. Now, he has established a second location, opening Always Best Care of Irvine to serve seniors in an area spanning from Irvine to Mission Viejo and down to San Clemente on the Pacific Coast, including Laguna Hills and the surrounding communities. These new territories nearly triple the potential of Wortelboer’s existing service area in the Coachella Valley.
“Our team at Always Best Care has built strong relationships with area hospitals, social workers and senior communities so we can help provide unparalleled support and senior resources to families in Riverside County. We are thrilled for the opportunity to now do the same in Southern Orange County,” said Eiso Wortelboer, owner of Always Best Care of Irvine. “I’ve been an entrepreneur all of my life, specializing in senior care over the past seven years. Of all the work I’ve done, joining families in their journey and providing the absolute best care plan for their loved one is very special to me.”
Raised in Switzerland, Wortelboer moved to the United States over two decades ago. He used his master’s in business from the University of Geneva and his passion for the home health sector to work as a business consultant helping home health care companies in California grow. In the three years since becoming the owner of Always Best Care of Desert Cities, Wortelboer has expanded his team of caregivers and taken overall operations to new heights, moving the office into the Top 12 of the Always Best Care system.
Always Best Care is one of the nation’s leading providers of non-medical in-home care and senior living referral services, with skilled home health care in limited markets.

Leading Home Franchisor Anticipates Remarkable Growth in 2024 as Demand Continues to Surge for Home Franchise Opportunities
IRVINE, Calif. — Home Franchise Concepts, a subsidiary of JM Family Enterprises, announced today that they surpassed growth goals in 2023, with nearly 240 territories sold across its entire brand portfolio including, Budget Blinds®, The Tailored Closet®, PremierGarage®, Concrete Craft®, AdvantaClean®, Kitchen Tune-Up®, Bath Tune-Up®, Two Maids®, Aussie Pet Mobile®, and Lightspeed Restoration™.
Throughout the year, Home Franchise Concepts consistently exceeded quarterly expansion goals, surpassing mid-year development plans by opening 142 locations in the first half of 2023, followed by 121 locations in Q3 and Q4. This expansive growth from the leading home services franchisor stems from an aggressive and driven strategy under the leadership of Andrew Skehan as Chief Executive Officer, focusing on improving technology, targeting smaller markets, and expanding the brand portfolio.
Skehan, who joined Home Franchise Concepts as CEO in August 2022, has been actively collaborating with leadership across each brand within the organization, recognizing growth opportunities, enhancing relationships, and fostering the development of robust teams. A key focus of his leadership has been increasing the use of technology for a higher understanding of sales performance and the inner workings of the family of brands. This has resulted in further refined customer experiences through improved CRM and other technology platforms that analyze data and aid in determining the allocation of resources and funds.
By engineering the implementation of such technologies, Paul Ebert, president of Aussie Pet Mobile and Two Maids, was able to satisfy more Aussie Pet Mobile customers and implement changes in the business model to expand its footprint by increasing the number of vans required to open an Aussie Pet Mobile location. Similarly, Budget Blinds’ President, Heather Nykolaychuk, used data to kickstart an initiative targeting smaller markets through the addition of partial territories onto existing businesses, providing more growth opportunities for current franchisees and a tiered-size approach to openings. Both Ebert and Nykolaychuk have excelled in driving success and further establishing their respective brand identities under the Home Franchise Concepts portfolio.
Home Franchise Concepts also introduced a new brand to its growing portfolio this year. Lightspeed Restoration provides 24/7, world-class service from highly trained technicians to address water and fire damage restoration as well as indoor air quality (IAQ) improvements for residential and commercial properties. Lightspeed quickly expanded across the U.S, with 12 locations currently open and more in the pipeline, as the brand aims to expand in the Southeast and Southwest regions in 2024.
“The consistent improvements and developments within Home Franchise Concepts is a reflection of company-wide efforts to provide targeted attention along with innovation and fresh perspectives to each brand,” said Jonathan Thiessen, Chief Development Officer of Home Franchise Concepts. “As a recognized leader in franchisee-franchisor relationships and home services, empowering our leadership and trusting them to build effective teams ultimately guides our path to profitability and success.”
As the company celebrates the success of last year, Home Franchise Concepts is looking forward to a strong 2024 with a goal of nearly $1.4 billion in system-wide sales. Home Franchise Concepts aims to introduce more brands and continue increasing innovative technology to expand its franchise footprint across multiple brands nationwide.
