CINCINNATI - December 18, 2012 - (BUSINESS WIRE) - FirstLight HomeCare, a growing provider of non-medical, in-home care, today announced it was ranked number 365 on Entrepreneur magazine’s 34th Annual Franchise 500® list.

This is FirstLight’s inaugural ranking on the Franchise 500® which is the world's “first, best and most comprehensive franchise ranking” according to Entrepreneur. The company is one of only two franchise concepts that were selected for the list after just three years of franchising. The accolade also follows FirstLight’s recent placement on Franchise Business Review’s Top 100 Franchises for Veterans 2012.

Founded in 2009, FirstLight HomeCare was designed by senior care industry professionals to provide a completely new approach to high-quality, in-home care. The company offers customized caregiving services for seniors, people with disabilities or anyone in need of assistance. Over the past three years, FirstLight has been growing rapidly through franchise partnerships and currently operates locations in 23 states across the U.S.

“We are very proud to make our debut on Entrepreneur’s exclusive ranking of America’s top franchise opportunities,” commented Jeff Bevis, CEO, FirstLight HomeCare. “When we opened our first FirstLight HomeCare office in early 2010, we believed we could create a new industry standard for non-medical, in-home care services. Through our culture of care we have already begun to deliver on this promise and are confident that at just 83 locations today, we still have significant opportunity for continued growth.”
