BrightStar Care to Introduce 26 New Locations to Meet Growing Trend; Searches for Qualified Franchise Partners

PHILADELPHIA - August 17, 2016 - (BUSINESS WIRE) - Local entrepreneurs seeking to run a business that makes a difference in the lives of Philadelphia families will soon have to look no further. BrightStar Care, a national franchise specializing in providing the highest quality skilled medical and non-medical in-home care services, has 26 new franchise opportunities available in the Philadelphia market.

Validating that there is a clear demand to provide quality in-home care services to those choosing to age in place, the Philadelphia Corporation for Aging recently projected that the number of people 85 years of age and older will grow 19 percent by 2025 – reaching 34,230 residents in just nine short years. This staggering statistic, which is prevalent across the U.S., is contributing in large part to the rapid growth of BrightStar Care and its active development plans, including Philadelphia.

“The aging demographics in Philadelphia coupled with the fact that there is an undeniable need for quality in-home care services, makes this community an exciting development region for BrightStar Care,” said Anthony Padulo, Executive Vice President of International and Domestic Franchise Development. “We are eager to find local business leaders to bring unparalleled, quality homecare services to the area.”

Each BrightStar Care location serves an average of 70 families and employs 70 RNs, therapists, LPNs, CNAs, and HHAs as part of their care staff. BrightStar Care currently has two franchise locations open and operating in Southeast Montgomery County and South Bucks County.

In its search for qualified applicants to expand the brand in Philadelphia, BrightStar Care is looking for educated men and women who are self-motivated and have a high level of business acumen. Prospective franchisees must have the ability to manage and lead a team but are not required to have a healthcare background. It is important to note that qualified prospects must have liquid assets of $100,000 and a net worth of $500,000.

“The great thing about our franchise model, training, and support, is that you don’t have to have previous healthcare experience,” said Padulo. “The majority of our incoming franchisees don’t come from the healthcare field. We’re looking for business managers who have a strong passion for our business, and an appreciation for providing a high quality service.”

BrightStar Care offers both medical and non-medical private duty home care services, as well as medical staffing and each BrightStar Care location employs a full-time Registered Nurse Director of Nursing who tailors unique, personalized plans of care for each client and oversees a professional care team of well-qualified, experienced caregivers. The company began franchising in 2005, and has since grown to a $335 million company with more than 300 locations nationwide with plans to add another 50 new franchise units across the U.S. in 2016.
