A Place At Home Franchise

10/08/2026

Families looking for home care are making an important decision. 🏡

They want dependable service. Clear communication. Compassion. And above all, people they can trust with someone they love. 💚

Those same values are central to how CEO Mike Boyer leads A Place At Home.

In his recent Franchise Update Magazine profile, Mike talks about building trust through consistency — not through titles or promises. It's a philosophy that reaches far beyond leadership meetings. 🤝

Trust is built when a caregiver shows up when expected.
When a local team listens to a family's concerns.
When franchise owners are supported in delivering quality care in their communities.
And when we keep people and relationships at the center of what we do. 💜

Franchise ownership in senior care attracts a lot of different people — and not all of them come in with the same picture of what it actually looks like.

The owners who build something lasting here aren't just running a system. They're leading a team, investing in their caregivers, and becoming a trusted presence in their communities. The model supports that work. It doesn't replace it.

If you're thinking seriously about ownership, this is worth a look.

Not all home care franchises are built the same — and Dovida North America CEO Mike Boyer knows the difference better than most.

What stands out to him about A Place At Home isn't a marketing pitch. It's the quality of the owners in this network and their genuine commitment to care — to the clients they serve, the caregivers they hire, and the communities they're part of.

That's the foundation this brand is built on.

Two of the most common paths into senior care franchising look very different on paper — and the differences go deeper than most people realize.

Startup costs, regulatory requirements, day-to-day operations, how quickly you can scale — all of it varies significantly depending on whether you're looking at an assisted living facility or a home care agency.

If you're exploring the senior care space and trying to figure out which model fits your goals, this is a useful place to start.

What does supporting a franchise owner really mean for the families they serve? 🤝

It means giving local leaders the tools, training, guidance, and support they need to build strong businesses and strong care teams right in their own communities. 🏡

In his new Franchise Update Magazine profile, A Place At Home CEO Mike Boyer talks about strengthening our franchise system while preserving what makes local home care so meaningful: relationships, trust, and people who know the communities they serve. 💚

When franchise owners are supported, they can invest in their teams.
When caregivers are supported, they can focus on their clients.
And when all of those pieces work together, families have a local care team they can depend on during an important time in their lives. 💜

That's the kind of growth we believe in. 🌱

Culture isn't built in a moment — it's built through how a network operates day in and day out. How owners are supported. How the brand communicates. How people show up for each other when it matters.

A Place At Home is recognized on Franchise Business Review's 2026 Top Franchises for Culture list. It's a recognition that reflects what owners consistently tell us — that this network feels different from the inside.

That's something we work to earn every day.

"The real work happens in homes." 🏡💚

That simple statement from our CEO, Mike Boyer, says a lot about how he leads.

In his recent Franchise Update Magazine profile, Mike shares why his role starts with supporting the people closest to the care experience — our franchise owners, caregivers, local teams, clients, and families. 👥

For A Place At Home, people-first leadership means listening, removing obstacles, providing the right resources, and creating an environment where local teams can focus on what matters most: serving seniors and families with dependable, compassionate care. 💜

We're proud to see Mike's leadership philosophy featured in Franchise Update Magazine. 🌟

"It's care. It's just caring for our community."

Two years in, Sam Van Valzah — owner of A Place At Home - Encinitas — hasn't lost sight of what this business is really about. Serving seniors the way you'd want your own family served. Showing up with genuine empathy. Raising the bar for home care in his community.

That's the kind of ownership this brand is built around.

From a small unit to a multimillion-dollar asset. 🌱➡️🏆

That's what surprises people most when they start with A Place At Home, says our Co-Founder & COO, Dustin Distefano. 💚

Here's how he explains it:
🔹 You start small, and the investment is pretty low to open a home care business.
🔹 You grow it step by step, building your team and your community.
🔹 Over about five years, that small unit can turn into a multimillion-dollar asset.

There's no ceiling in home care. You just have to build it.

Low risk. No ceiling. 📈

Our Co-Founder & COO, Dustin Distefano, says it plainly:

The investment to start a home care business is relatively low, but the upside isn't limited. Agencies can grow to $5M, $10M, even $20M. In about five years, a small unit can become a multimillion-dollar asset.
