What Is Care With Love?

Care With Love is a franchise that provides non-medical personal care services to clients in their private homes. The operational model is home-based, with caregivers traveling to clients’ residences while the franchised business is headquartered in a small leased office (typically about 100–150 square feet). It serves individual consumers (B2C) and offers a core service bundle of companion services (conversation, pet care, light housekeeping, monitoring bathing for safety) and personal care services (walking and transferring assistance, bathing and dressing assistance, incontinence and toileting assistance, sleepover services, and medication reminders); franchisees are not authorized to provide skilled medical care and must comply with applicable state licensing requirements.

Care With Love Franchise: Pros and Cons

The franchisor shows strong system stability with zero franchise terminations, non‑renewals, or reacquisitions and no disclosed legal actions, while the main risk is a high Item 7 minimum reserve of $62,193, roughly three months' operating costs, which raises upfront working capital needs.

Pros

Zero franchise terminations, non‑renewals, and reacquisitions - well below typical for Senior & Assisted Living Services - suggests fewer operators have exited the system and points to relative system stability.

No disclosed lawsuits, franchisee judgments, settlements, government penalties, or franchisor enforcement actions - well below typical for the sector - a clean legal and regulatory record lowers legal risk and signals the franchisor enforces compliance without frequent formal disputes.

Item 7 training fees are $0 (both minimum and maximum) - well below typical for Senior & Assisted Living Services - the franchisor does not charge training fees, reducing your upfront and ongoing training expenses.

Cons

Item 7 minimum reserves of $62,193 - well above typical for Senior & Assisted Living Services - implies you’ll need more cash on hand (reserve levels typically represent about three months of operating costs), increasing the working capital required to open and run a location.

Lawsuits & Legal Risk

100

Excellent

Care With Love reported no material legal proceedings,

Territory Protection

43/100

NORMAL

Care With Love grants a designated, protected, zip-code based territory (commonly up to ~300,000 residents) for in‑home non‑medical personal care per Attachment 1. Rights are contingent on performance quotas; the franchisor retains rights to e‑commerce/alternative distribution, National Accounts, non‑traditional venues, and development of nearby units.

Training & Support

53/100

NORMAL

Care With Love provides a robust 78-hour training curriculum designed to prepare two staff members for launch. On-site launch support is provided for operational readiness, with travel and lodging expenses borne by the franchisee and additional fees charged for on-site services.

Unit Growth Analysis

Care With Love rose from 3 to 5 units (about a 67% net increase) but growth has slowed to roughly +25% year-over-year. For a new owner that pattern signals an early proof-of-concept that's losing momentum: with only two franchised locations and most units company-owned, franchise systems and support are probably still being built, so expect higher execution risk, insist on audited unit economics, and verify training, territory protection, and the franchising pipeline before committing.

Franchise vs Corporate Performance: For the most recent measurement period (Dec 1, 2024 – Nov 30, 2025 and calendar 2025 periods provided for franchisees) corporate/company-owned outlets dominate reported revenues. The Fairfax company-owned outlet reported $5,398,507 (the largest single outlet), representing approximately 57.5% of the combined revenues across the five outlets included in Item 19 (total system revenue across the five outlets ≈ $9.39M). Richmond ($1,942,293) and Winchester (franchisee, $1,177,086) are the next largest contributors; Washington, D.C. ($515,301) and Fredericksburg (franchisee, $358,570) are much smaller. This indicates heavy concentration of reported sales in the Fairfax company-owned operation versus the other outlets.

Performance Variability Analysis: There is wide variability and a right-skewed distribution across outlets. Across the five outlets the high/low range is $5,039,937 ($5,398,507 high vs. $358,570 low). The mean gross sales per outlet is about $1.88M while the median is about $1.18M, showing the mean is pulled up by the very large Fairfax outlet. Only 2 of 5 outlets (40%) meet or exceed the mean, which highlights concentration risk and the limited representativeness of the mean for a prospective franchisee. Year-over-year snapshots included in Item 19 show significant growth in several locations (for example Richmond and Fairfax show strong increases in the most recent period), but results vary substantially by outlet and by county served.

Data Scope and Limitations: Item 19 here is based on a small sample of outlets (5 outlets reported for the most recent periods) and mixes company-owned outlets and a small number of franchisee outlets; several company-owned outlets operate in territories much larger than a typical franchise territory. The document does not provide cost of goods sold or net income figures for these outlets, and there is no indication the Item 19 figures are audited. Because of the small, concentrated sample and differing territory sizes and business scopes, these revenue figures should not be assumed to predict a franchisee’s results; the franchisor also expressly warns individual results may differ.
