Best Life Brands Achieves Record-Breaking Franchise Growth in 2024

Senior Care Franchise Leader Awards 166 New Agreements, Expands to 775 Locations, and Strengthens Industry Presence Across its Portfolio of Brands

(TROY, Mich.) Feb. 20, 2025 – Best Life Brands, LLC (“Best Life Brands”), a franchised organization with a portfolio of five brands dedicated to senior care, achieved significant franchise development milestones in 2024. The company added 166 new franchises, bringing its total to 775 locations—an all-time high in a calendar year—with 650 of those locations currently open and operating.

Among the standout growth achievements, Best Life Brands further strengthened its portfolio with the acquisition of Next Day Access in March, a strategic move that enhances its position in the senior care industry and broadens its accessibility solutions. As part of this expansion, Michele Popelka was appointed Brand President of Next Day Access, bringing a wealth of experience to drive the brand’s continued growth.

Boost Home Healthcare significantly expanded its footprint, adding 41 new locations, with six already open and operating. This milestone marks a pivotal step in the brand’s rapid expansion and reinforces its commitment to delivering high-quality in-home healthcare services.

Expanding its international footprint, CarePatrol celebrated a major milestone with the launch of its first locations in Canada, bringing its trusted senior care advisory services to a new market. This expansion reflects the increasing demand for reliable senior care guidance and further establishes CarePatrol as a leader in the industry.

Additionally, ComForCare enhanced its dementia care offerings with the launch of DementiaWise® 2.0, an innovative upgrade of its nationally recognized program designed to provide caregivers and franchisees with innovative strategies to support individuals living with dementia. This initiative reaffirms ComForCare’s dedication to elevating the standard of care for those affected by cognitive decline.

“In 2024, we significantly expanded our network and more importantly, extended our reach to make a real difference in people’s lives through the essential services we provide,” said J.J.
