Leading home healthcare franchise marks 15 years in business

HACKENSACK, N.J. — Executive Care, one of the leading home healthcare franchises, has achieved a remarkable milestone, marking 15 years of operations. According to the Small Business Association, more than half of new businesses fail in the first year, with 30 percent fail within two years, 50 percent fail during the first five years and 66 percent failing within 10 years. 15 years of business is truly a feat of accomplishment.

“We are proud to be providing home healthcare services to our communities for over 15 years,” said Lenny Verkhoglaz, founder and CEO of Executive Care. “When we launched, we had a goal to not only meet the growing demand for home healthcare, but to revolutionize the service offerings in the industry. We are thrilled to say this goal has been accomplished and we look forward to propelling the brand to new heights in the coming years.”

Since launching in April 2004, Executive Home Care has grown to 22 locations across 10 states. The brand has been featured in the Entrepreneur Franchise 500, among other award recognitions.

Looking ahead, the brand plans to open over 10 locations by the end of 2019, including entrances into the Boston, D.C. metro, Orlando, Denver and Las Vegas markets.

“Our mission has been to provide compassionate, quality home care services to our clients so that they can remain safe and independent in the comfort of their own home,” founder and CEO Lenny Verkhoglaz said. “The growth we’ve experienced over 15 years only motivates us to continue that mission into 2019 and beyond.”

Executive Care was founded by Verkhoglaz and his wife, Mila. After caring for an elderly neighbor, Lenny and Mila realized the incredible need for home healthcare services. Today, Executive Home Care offers both medical and non-medical services, including at-home care, personal care, companionship and more.

“The home health care industry is experiencing a ‘silver tsunami,’ wherein there are more than 10,000 people reaching the age of 65 than there are caregivers to provide them necessary services,” Verkhoglaz noted. “With such a high demand, Executive Care strives to continue working with other individuals who are passionate about this booming industry.”

Including a franchisee fee (for a territory with a population of 500,000 residents) of $44,900, the initial investment to own and operate an Executive Care office ranges between $99,650 and $169,900. The franchise fee for a second territory is reduced to $35,900 and $29,500 for a third territory.

Leading In-Home Care Franchisee Partners with Top Local Agency to Provide Higher Standard of Care in California

CHICAGO — BrightStar Care, the nation’s leading in-home care franchise, is igniting its growth strategy of targeting independent in-home care agencies that make viable candidates to convert to the BrightStar Care system. In the most recent development, a BrightStar Care franchisee acquired Sacramento’s Harmony Home Care, going into effect on Monday, April 1. BrightStar Care, whose higher standards of care are well known in the home care industry coast-to-coast, offers national resources, such as nurse-led care, skilled nursing and the same accreditation as the country’s best hospitals and nursing homes.

The Harmony Home Care acquisition is led by Sacramento BrightStar Care owner, Ignacio Cespedes. Cespedes, who was named BrightStar Care’s 2018 Franchisee of the Year, states, “With the growing need for care and the increasing shortage of caregivers, we found great synergy in incorporating the Harmony Home Care team to our business. We envision a future with continued organic growth as well as homecare industry consolidation.”

With the new ownership, BrightStar Care will maintain the same local commitment to high standards Harmony Home Care has demonstrated. The location will now reap the benefits of not only a strong local reputation, but a strong national reputation and standards as well. The community can rest assured that the transitions will be seamless for clients and employees, as the same care givers will remain in place for the same clients.

“It has been a pleasure to cooperate with BrightStar Care over the years and we feel confident that BrightStar will work tirelessly to maintain the same caring relationships that our customers and employees have enjoyed for the last six years,” said Patrick Philbrick and Jennifer Jarrett, co-owners of Harmony Home Care.

The acquisition comes on the heels of BrightStar Care’s impressive 2018 growth, including 15 signed franchise agreements and 14 location openings across 12 states.

Shelly Sun, Founder and CEO of BrightStar Care, stated “This deepens BrightStar’s commitment to Sacramento, combining one of our very best franchisees with the best of Harmony’s model. In addition, our national account partners, the biggest insurance companies, pharmacies, infusion services providers and third-party administrators in the country, now have new options for delivering care in the Golden State.”

BrightStar Care’s success has also been seen in recent award rankings, including Entrepreneur’s prestigious Franchise 500. The ninth consecutive year for BrightStar Care on the list, the brand came in at No. 184 this year. BrightStar Care was also ranked on Franchise Times’ Top 200 list. The brand also brought in the most number of Best of Home Care awards of any provider, including 23 locations earning the Leader in Excellence award, 105 locations earning the Provider of Choice award, and 102 offices earning the Employer of Choice award.
