About the BrightStar Care franchise system
BrightStar Care operates a network of more than 360 US franchise locations delivering skilled nursing, companion care, and medical staffing services. Franchisees are owner-operators who make independent decisions on staffing platforms, liability insurance, scheduling software, and clinical compliance tools.
Franchismo maps every BrightStar Care franchisee to their ownership entity, service territory, and verified contact details — the data vendors need to sell EMR, payroll, recruiting, and compliance solutions into the home care market.

Skilled-care premium and operator size
BrightStar Care differentiates from the rest of the senior home care category by delivering skilled nursing in addition to companion care. That positions it at a higher revenue-per-location and attracts a different operator profile — many BrightStar franchisees come from nursing or healthcare administration backgrounds.
Average territory revenue is meaningfully higher than non-skilled peers, which is why payroll, scheduling, and EMR vendors prioritize this base.
