Compassionate, Locally Owned In-Home Care Across 44 States
SYNERGY HomeCare is a non-medical home care franchise headquartered in Tempe, Arizona. Founded in 1999 by Peter Tourian and built into one of the country’s largest in-home care networks, the company operates through locally owned franchise offices across 44 states. Its caregivers serve seniors, people with disabilities, individuals managing chronic conditions, and those recovering from illness or surgery, delivering personalized support that allows clients to remain safely at home. SYNERGY HomeCare’s stated mission is to create a world of care at home for all.
As of August 2026, the SYNERGY HomeCare network spans more than 626 territories, making it the second-largest non-medical home care franchise in the United States. Each location is independently owned and operated, meaning the person running a SYNERGY franchise in your city has a direct stake in the quality of care provided there.

In January 2025, SYNERGY HomeCare was acquired by Levine Leichtman Capital Partners (LLCP), a Los Angeles-based private equity firm with extensive franchising experience. CEO Charlie Young and the existing management team remained in place following the transaction, and the company has continued its trajectory of network expansion and program development under the new ownership.

What Makes SYNERGY HomeCare Different?
A Franchise Built on the Belief That Quality Care Should Be Available to Everyone
Peter Tourian founded SYNERGY HomeCare in 1999 after recognizing a gap in accessible, non-medical in-home care while running a medical staffing agency in Arizona. From the outset, the company was among the first in the industry to perform background checks on every caregiver and to open services to clients of all ages, not just seniors. Tourian launched the franchise system in 2005 and grew the brand from a single location to one of the nation’s most recognized home care networks before transitioning to Executive Chairman and handing day-to-day leadership to CEO Charlie Young in 2020.
Locally Owned Offices With National Infrastructure Behind Them
Every SYNERGY HomeCare location is independently owned and operated by a franchisee in the community it serves. The person scheduling your loved one’s care is also the business owner who invested in the franchise, trained with the Franchise Support Center, and built relationships with local health systems and referral partners. At the same time, those local owners draw on the full SYNERGY network: standardized caregiver training, a vetted technology platform (AxisCare, selected in 2024 as the franchise’s management software vendor), national partnerships, and marketing and operational support from the Tempe-based headquarters.
Total Well-Being Care: A Holistic Approach to Physical, Mental, and Social Health
In early 2025, SYNERGY HomeCare introduced its Total Well-Being Care program, designed to support seniors across three interconnected areas: physical wellness, mental health, and social connection. The physical component focuses on fall prevention, strength, balance, and mobility. A notable feature is SYNERGY’s partnership with BetterHelp, a virtual mental health platform that gives SYNERGY clients, family caregivers, and staff complimentary access to licensed therapists for an initial 30-day period, making professional mental health support available without requiring clients to leave their homes.
Named Specialty Programs for Complex Care Needs
SYNERGY HomeCare has developed several branded care programs beyond basic companionship and personal assistance, including Memory Care for clients with Alzheimer’s or dementia, Cancer Care, a Veterans Care program, Disability Care for clients with physical or developmental conditions, and a Hospital-to-Home concierge program for individuals recently discharged from a hospital or surgery center. Availability varies by franchise location.
Five Consecutive Years Leading the Home Care Industry in Territory Growth
SYNERGY HomeCare led the home care franchise sector in territory sales growth for five straight years through 2024, adding 101 territories in 2025 alone to close the year with 626 territories across 44 states. The company has grown its geographic footprint by 86% since December 2019. In 2026, Entrepreneur magazine ranked SYNERGY HomeCare No. 44 on its Fastest Growing Franchises list.
Direct Employment Model and Rigorous Caregiver Vetting
SYNERGY HomeCare caregivers are direct employees of their local franchise, not independent contractors. Every caregiver undergoes a background check before being placed with a client, a practice the company has maintained since its founding. This employment structure gives clients and families greater accountability in the event of a concern and provides caregivers with the support that comes with employee status.
Signature Programs and Services
Memory Care. SYNERGY HomeCare’s Memory Care program supports clients living with Alzheimer’s disease, dementia, or other cognitive changes. Caregivers receive specialized training in communicating with and engaging clients who have memory impairment, with an emphasis on routine, familiar environments, and activities that support cognitive function and quality of life. Availability varies by franchise location.
Hospital-to-Home Care. The Hospital-to-Home concierge program supports clients recently discharged from a hospital or surgery center who are not yet ready to manage independently. SYNERGY provides transitional support to reduce the risk of readmission and give families peace of mind during a vulnerable window. Availability varies by location.
Total Well-Being Care. Launched in February 2025, this program addresses three dimensions of a senior’s health: physical (fall prevention, mobility exercises), mental (access to BetterHelp’s licensed therapists), and social (companionship and engagement). The BetterHelp partnership gives clients and family caregivers a 30-day complimentary period on the platform, followed by a discounted subscription option.
Veterans Care, Cancer Care, and Disability Care. SYNERGY HomeCare has developed targeted programs for veterans, individuals at various stages of cancer treatment or recovery, and clients living with physical or developmental disabilities. Program availability should be confirmed with the local franchise office.
Life With a SYNERGY HomeCare Caregiver
Because SYNERGY HomeCare provides in-home care rather than a residential setting, the experience is shaped entirely by the client’s own environment and the quality of the caregiver assigned to their case. Care plans are individualized during an initial consultation and can be adjusted as needs change. Scheduling may range from a few hours a week for companionship and light tasks to 24-hour live-in care for clients who need continuous support.
Because each SYNERGY office is independently owned, the day-to-day experience, including how quickly calls are returned, how caregiver continuity is handled, and how scheduling changes are managed, can differ meaningfully from one franchise to another. Families should ask specific questions about caregiver consistency and communication protocols when evaluating a local office.
What Clients and Families Say
Public reviews of SYNERGY HomeCare locations are mixed, which is characteristic of a large franchise network where quality is shaped by local ownership and management. Positive feedback across multiple locations frequently highlights caregiver compassion and dedication, the relief families feel from having reliable help at home, flexible scheduling options, and an accessible care initiation process.
Concerns raised in some public reviews touch on caregiver consistency, communication between the office and client families, and, in isolated cases, questions about caregiver screening at specific franchise locations. Satisfaction with one SYNERGY HomeCare office does not predict the experience at another.
At the franchise level, Activated Insights named 115 individual SYNERGY HomeCare offices as recipients of 2026 Best of Home Care Awards across the Employer of Choice, Leader in Experience, and Provider of Choice categories. Six SYNERGY HomeCare offices were ranked among the national top 100 home care agencies. These awards are earned at the individual franchise level, not by the corporate franchisor. Families are strongly encouraged to read reviews for the local SYNERGY HomeCare office in their area and to ask for references before beginning care.
