At Home Halo, a home care franchise dedicated to compassionate and personalized care for seniors and veterans, success isn’t left to chance — it’s carefully mapped out through a proven, systematic launch process designed to guide every new franchise owner from concept to opening day. With a 160-step onboarding program developed from years of experience, Home Halo ensures franchisees enter the home care business with clarity, confidence, and a plan.
Dan Deak, president of Home Halo, knows exactly what it takes to open a successful home care office.
“My background before starting Home Halo was as a launch director and director of training for a non-medical home care franchise,” Deak said. “I ended up launching 60 to 75 offices while I was there. One of the first things I noticed was that each regional director had their way of launching an office. There was some consistency, but also some striking differences. My job became creating a replicable system. That’s what a franchise is, a process you can replicate.”
That process evolved into what is now Home Halo’s 160-step launch plan — a roadmap covering everything from securing business insurance to navigating a learning management system filled with training materials. But as Deak is quick to point out, the system is broken into manageable stages to avoid overwhelming new owners.
“It can be very overwhelming if you're a new franchisee, you're excited, and then you get a spreadsheet with 160 things to do,” Deak said. “We work to break it down into digestible parts. You eat an elephant one bite at a time.”
The process begins with one simple but crucial question: What’s your launch date?
“Everything goes from there,” Deak said. “You have to begin with the end in mind. From there, we build the business infrastructure, guide franchisees through learning the industry, and teach operational best practices.”
Franchisees follow an online launch curriculum for over 90 to 120 days. Then comes new owner training, a full week at Home Halo’s Colorado office.
“You learn everything from A to Z,” said Deak. “When you’re done, you should be able to go back to your location and open the doors for business.”
But the support doesn’t stop there. Deak personally attends each franchisee’s launch — a three-day, on-site session that functions like a live case study.
“We test all the systems, go through all the paperwork, make sure business development efforts are in place,” Deak said. “I’m also instructing them on how to professionally handle the referral source aspect of the business.”
From there, franchisees continue to benefit from weekly check-in calls to review progress and address questions.
“Same time every week, we go through everything,” Deak said. “We check in, talk about what they’ve learned, what they’ve completed and help them keep moving forward.”
The meticulousness of Home Halo’s 160-step launch system isn’t just about organization — it’s about results. Each step has been refined from real-world experience and adjusted based on what works best for franchisees.
“I took the things I felt worked well, got rid of what didn’t contribute and created my own process of launching an office,” Deak said. “I’ve since modified it through launching my own offices and have been able to better tweak the formula to make it more successful.”
That formula, combined with Home Halo’s mission to serve both seniors and veterans with compassion and professionalism, gives franchisees a business model with purpose and profit.
“Our goal is to set franchisees up for long-term success,” Deak said. “From the moment they sign on, we’re there to provide the tools and guidance they need to grow their business and make a real impact in their communities.”
