Comfort Keepers®, a leading provider of in-home care services for seniors and adults who need assistance, has identified Boston as a key target for franchise development in 2025. According to Scott Oaks, Vice President of Franchise Development, the brand is looking to expand into the greater Boston area with up to eight new territories available for qualified entrepreneurs.
“First and foremost, from a Comfort Keepers standpoint, the Boston market is underpenetrated,” Oaks said. “We have a lot of open and available territories in and around the area, stretching from Quincy up to Salem, and as far inland as Watertown. The whole area around Boston is open and available as well.”
While Comfort Keepers has enjoyed long-term success in surrounding areas, with franchisees in Lexington, Wakefield and Norwell operating for more than 15 years, the core Boston market remains relatively untapped. That presents a unique opportunity for new franchise owners to establish themselves in a high-demand region with the backing of a proven brand.
A Growing Senior Population
One of the key reasons Boston is ripe for growth is the demographic makeup of the region.
“On average, when you look at the amount of seniors in the greater Boston area, over 13% of the population is over 65,” Oaks said. “That is the area where people start thinking about and looking into home care.”
As the aging population continues to grow, so too does the demand for quality, personalized in-home care solutions. Comfort Keepers’ private-pay model is built to serve this need, offering interactive caregiving services that help seniors maintain independence, joy, and connection in their daily lives.
Strong Franchise Support and Scalable Model
For prospective franchisees, Comfort Keepers offers a business model designed for both personal fulfillment and long-term success. With a robust support system in place, new owners can feel confident entering the senior care space.
“With our interactive caregiving approach, and the strong training, onboarding and ongoing operational support we give our franchisees, this is an area that is prime for expansion,” Oaks said.
Franchisees benefit from a range of proprietary tools and resources, including a newly launched CRM system to streamline communication, an AI-powered local marketing assistant, and ComfortKeepers.jobs — a national job platform designed to ease caregiver recruitment.
A Track Record of Growth
Comfort Keepers has been in business for over 25 years and now boasts more than 600 locations across North America. Since transitioning to a fully franchised model in 2024, the brand has significantly increased its focus on supporting franchisee success and expanding into high-potential markets like Boston.
Oaks emphasizes that Comfort Keepers is not just growing for growth’s sake — it’s building a network of purpose-driven business owners who want to make a difference in their communities.
“We’re not just looking for volume,” he said. “We want people who are both business-minded and compassionate — people who understand what families are going through and want to make a difference.”
With eight open territories currently available in the Boston metro area and demand for senior care continuing to rise, now is the time for entrepreneurial individuals to join a proven brand that’s making an impact.
