Boost

Boost Home Healthcare operates under Boost Franchise Systems, LLC and focuses on in home medical and non medical services for seniors. The company is part of the Best Life Brands network. It was established in 2021 and began franchising that same year. Corporate headquarters are listed in both Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, and Troy, Michigan. Jackie Lleverino serves as President of Boost Home Healthcare. The franchise’s background is tied to a healthcare reputation developed through its earlier identity as ProHealth. Some search results describe an entity called “Boost Home Healthcare” as having been founded in 2016 by Dr. Sanjeev Sharma and Mr. Sumit Sinha, followed by international expansion into Dubai, UAE, in 2018 and later growth in the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom. Recent sources focused on Boost Franchise Systems, LLC consistently identify 2021 as the founding year for the current United States franchise opportunity and identify its relationship with Best Life Brands. This overview therefore concerns the franchise established in 2021 rather than any potentially unrelated earlier entity. Services include skilled nursing care, physical and occupational therapy, speech therapy, certified home health aide care, and medical social work. The operating model places emphasis on clinical quality, teamwork among professionals, and personalized recovery plans that coordinate families, caregivers, and healthcare professionals. The business generally operates Monday through Friday during normal business hours.

The senior care industry, including home health services, generates approximately $300 billion in annual economic activity. Gross output in the home health sector increased from approximately $36 billion in 1998 to nearly $87 billion in 2018. The industry continues to grow as the aging Baby Boomer population increases demand for in home healthcare and support. Consumers also show a strong preference for recovering and receiving care in their own homes. Boost Home Healthcare addresses that preference through personalized, one on one communication and a familiar setting for people recovering after a hospital stay. Home based care can reduce the risk of falls associated with institutional settings and may offer more affordable care, often with coverage from insurance plans or Medicare. Demand for clinical home healthcare is expected to increase as the population aged 65 and over expands. Boost’s service model is positioned within that market by combining medical and non medical support delivered in the home.

Boost Home Healthcare provides training and continuing support through the leadership and staff of Best Life Brands. New franchise owners complete a four phase training program. The first phase, Introduction and Licensing, includes 34 hours focused on licensing requirements and the initial introduction to the franchise location. The second phase includes 58 hours of classroom instruction covering theory, best practices, and business management. The third phase, Final Opening Training, includes 16 hours of preparation for opening the business. The fourth phase provides 32 to 40 hours of onsite training at the franchisee’s location during the first 12 months of operation. This practical support is intended to help owners address operating issues during the early period. Franchisees receive an established operating framework and continuing assistance with marketing, recruitment, and healthcare compliance. Support also covers financing guidance, operating procedures, and human resources management. Franchisees use healthcare management systems to support service delivery. The company emphasizes quality care and professional standards, with the aim of helping each owner become a trusted healthcare provider in the local community. Employees in the system include occupational therapists, medical social workers, and other skilled healthcare professionals.

That figure is above the sub sector average of $1,368,298. Clinical quality and personalized care are presented as factors that can support client attraction and retention. The financial information offers prospective franchisees a basis for evaluating possible returns, but it does not eliminate the risks associated with operating a newer franchise system.

As of the 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document data, Boost Home Healthcare reports six franchised locations in the United States, with a primary concentration in the West region, particularly California. Franchisee outlet data shows three units in 2021 and six units by 2023. Other sources report seven total units, while another reports 27 total franchise units, all in the United States. These figures differ and should be reconciled during a buyer’s review of current franchise documents. The company is described as an emerging franchise system with a minimal track record and strong growth potential. It is pursuing expansion into additional markets nationwide, and hundreds of territories are reported to remain open. The territories are described as among the largest in the industry, which may give owners room to build market coverage. Owners may also acquire multiple territories when they are available. The early stage of the system may allow franchisees to establish positions in underserved or fast growing areas. Boost differentiates its model through clinical quality, collaborative teamwork, and personalized recovery plans intended to support patient outcomes and comprehensive care.

The intended franchisee is a dedicated owner operator who serves as the face and voice of the business and remains involved in daily operations and community relationships. Owners are expected to develop relationships with referral sources such as hospitals, clinics, and physicians. They oversee operating functions, recruit and retain qualified home health aides and other healthcare professionals, and manage the franchise’s finances. The model requires direct participation and is not designed for absentee ownership. Teams made up of two spouses have performed particularly well within Best Life Brands franchises. Previous medical experience is not required. Important capabilities include managing people and processes while meeting regulatory requirements, marketing and selling services to the target market, recruiting and retaining staff, and providing leadership and motivation to the team. The large territory size may provide room for growth, and owners can seek multiple territories when available. Hundreds of territories remain open, giving early entrants opportunities to pursue markets that have not yet been developed by the system.
