Our Take
HomeWell Care Services has moderate revenue ($861K). Outcomes will depend heavily on execution.
Newer franchisor (2020). $0 franchise fee option (10% royalty). $5K to start. Two buying paths. 93 agencies. Franchise Times Top 400.
This is the single most important question. The data below comes directly from the franchise's legally required disclosure document (FDD Item 19).
The typical franchisee earns $861K/year in gross revenue. The top performer at Not disclosed pulls the average up, so plan for the median, not the mean.
This is above the typical median for non-medical home care franchises ($400K-$600K range).

Why this matters for you:
Revenue improves with tenure (1.9x growth from new to mature), but the ramp is gradual. Plan for slower early years.
This matters because new franchisees should expect year 1-2 revenue to be much lower than the system average. Plan your cash runway accordingly.

At median franchise revenue ($861K), the estimated owner take-home is roughly $179K/year — including a $50K owner salary.

Outlet count, growth trajectory, and churn — signals of system health
Strong growth trajectory — the system is expanding and franchisees are staying, which signals a healthy business model.
Growing systems tend to have better brand recognition, more negotiating power with vendors, and more peer support. But rapid growth can also strain franchisor resources.
What this means for you:
Upfront investment, ongoing fees, and minimum performance requirements
What it costs to get in and what you pay ongoing.
Combined royalty + ad fund is 7% of gross revenue — in line with the industry average for non-medical home care franchises.
These recurring fees come off the top of your revenue every month, regardless of profitability.
These fees are deducted before you see any profit. At $500K revenue with 7% combined fees, that's $35K/year going to the franchisor — before you pay rent, staff, or yourself.
Complexity, risk scoring, and key signals to watch
Roughly balanced strengths and watch items — typical for most franchise systems. (3 strengths, 3 watch items)
