September 29, 2026 // Franchising.com // Tempe, Ariz. – SYNERGY® HomeCare, the nation’s fastest-growing home care franchise, an Entrepreneur 500 ranked enterprise and a Top 50 Franchise according to Franchise Business Review, has announced its newest location in the San Francisco Bay Area, SYNERGY HomeCare in San Rafael.
The company is led by Debra Prince, a former assisted living professional whose personal caregiving experience inspired her to help other families navigate the aging process. After balancing the care of two loved ones with the demands of her professional responsibilities, Prince realized that she could bring together her personal caregiving expertise and her passion for serving older adults by providing families with reliable, in-home care solutions.
Headquartered at 712 D Street, Suite I, in San Rafael, Prince and her team of compassionate caregivers will assist residents throughout Marin County with a wide variety of non-medical, in-home care services, from companion care to personal care and respite care.
Prince’s firsthand experience as a family caregiver opened her eyes to the growing need for these flexible, personalized services, particularly among Baby Boomers. U.S. Census statistics show that 10,000 Baby Boomers are turning 65 every day and that by 2030, there will be more than 70 million people over 65. According to the AARP, over 80% of this demographic report wanting to remain in their own homes for as long as possible.
Before opening SYNERGY HomeCare in San Rafael, Prince’s daily life already centered around serving others. With an associate degree in Health Information Management, Prince began working in assisted living, where she discovered how deeply she enjoyed working with older adults. She regularly developed close relationships with residents and found fulfillment in helping them navigate their daily lives. Prince has also spent several years working as a tour guide at some of Northern California’s biggest destinations, including Yosemite National Park and Napa and Sonoma wine country. Through both experiences, Prince has been able to pursue her passion for creating welcoming, memorable experiences.
“My involvement with seniors at the assisted living facility and with visitors from all over the world on our tours has given me a great sense of fulfillment,” said Prince. “I truly enjoy being with people and getting to know them while providing them with a sense of comfort. I thrive in one-on-one, genuine interactions, and that’s why I’m so excited to dedicate myself to becoming a caregiver full-time.”
Although Prince became familiar with the concept of home care through her time working in assisted living facilities, it was her at-home experience that truly gave her an appreciation for the field. Prince struggled to balance her personal and professional caregiving responsibilities, largely because she was unaware of the full capabilities of in-home care. Upon realizing the level of personalization available with home care, she decided to become an advocate.
“Had I known that home care schedules could be tailored specifically to my loved ones’ needs, I would have been able to provide much more effectively,” said Prince. “I’m always curious and anxious to learn more about how I can best serve others. When providing care, I vow to uphold the highest standards, while also being conscientious, personable, and delivering a positive experience.”
Marin County is home to a growing number of affluent, aging adults seeking solutions that allow them to maintain independence and receive the support they need at home. Many nearby older adults stand to benefit from care plans that include assistance with cooking, shopping, running errands, doing light housekeeping, or going for walks. Some even require personal care, such as help with bathing, dressing, or using the toilet.
SYNERGY HomeCare in San Rafael is currently looking to add to its team of diverse caregivers. While licensed Certified Nursing Assistants (CNAs) are ideal candidates, Prince will provide training and certification to anyone looking to enter the field of caregiving.
