The nation’s first home care company continues to be recognized as an industry leader and a top U.S. franchise organization

Interim HealthCare Inc., the nation’s leading network of home care, senior care, home health, hospice and medical staffing services, ranked No. 1 in the Senior Care category and No. 59 overall on Entrepreneur’s Franchise 500®, the world’s first and most comprehensive franchise ranking. For 45 years, the annual Entrepreneur Franchise 500 has been a highly sought-after honor in the franchise industry and recognized as an invaluable resource for potential franchisees. The 2024 list continues to rank Interim HealthCare highly for its outstanding performance in areas including unit growth, financial strength and stability, and brand power.

“We are very happy to once again be ranked as the top senior care franchisor on Entrepreneur’s Franchise 500,” said Paul Mastrapa, president and CEO of Interim HealthCare. “Over our storied, nearly six-decade history, the Interim HealthCare brand has become synonymous with high-quality, person-centered services that produce strong health outcomes. Our high overall ranking speaks to the value and need for holistic home healthcare and hospice services, and we are excited to be at the forefront of the industry backed by the strength of our franchise owners and employees.”

Since its founding in 1966, Interim HealthCare has pioneered the way care is delivered through a home-based, flexible care model that combines clinical expertise, innovation and experience with highly personalized care. 2023 was also an important year for Interim’s growth with the appointment of Paul Mastrapa as president and CEO, providing unparalleled industry and franchise relations experience that has already created synergies across the company.

“Every brand on the Franchise 500 has its own unique story, but they all collectively make the same statement: Franchising is strong and resilient, is full of innovation and opportunity, and provides a powerful entrepreneurial path for many people,” says Jason Feifer, editor in chief of Entrepreneur magazine. “Our 45th annual ranking is full of companies with fresh ideas, exciting business models, cultural sway, and the kind of business sophistication that will define the next 45 years and beyond.”

In Entrepreneur’s continuing effort to best understand and evaluate the ever-changing franchise marketplace, the company’s ranking formula continues to evolve as well. The editorial team researches and assesses several factors, including costs and fees, size and growth, support, brand strength, and financial strength and stability. Each franchise is then given a cumulative score based on an analysis of more than 150 data points, and the 500 franchises with the highest cumulative scores become the Franchise 500 in ranked order.

Over its 45 years in existence, the Franchise 500 has become both a dominant competitive measure for franchisors and a primary research tool for potential franchisees. Interim HealthCare’s position on the ranking is a testament to its strength as a brand.
