Home Instead's most recent Item 19 reports a $2.26M median across 603 franchised territories — among the highest senior-care AUVs disclosed. The low investment ($91K-$270K) makes the AUV-to-investment ratio one of the strongest in any franchise category.

Brand AnalysisHomeVestors Item 19 Deep Dive: $287K Median Across 898 Franchises
