FirstLight Home Care Named One of Entrepreneur Magazine’s Fastest-Growing Franchises

March 24, 2026 // Franchising.com // CINCINNATI – FirstLight Home Care has been recognized as one of Entrepreneur magazine’s Fastest-Growing Franchises in the publication’s March/April 2026 issue. FirstLight Home Care was ranked among the companies recognized for the greatest franchise unit growth in the U.S. and Canada from July 2024 to July 2025.

The recognition places FirstLight Home Care among a select group of franchise brands celebrated for scaling rapidly across North America while remaining focused on the people and communities they serve. For FirstLight, that growth reflects increasing demand for dependable, relationship-first home care that helps adults age with comfort, dignity and independence at home. This recognition builds on FirstLight Home Care’s continued momentum with Entrepreneur, following its inclusion on last year’s Fastest-Growing Franchises list and its ranking in the 2026 Franchise 500®, marking 14 consecutive years on the list.

According to Entrepreneur, rankings were based on net franchise unit growth in the U.S. and Canada during the measured period, with ties broken by percentage growth. Over the past three years, FirstLight Home Care has achieved 51.3% unit growth, further reflecting the strength of its franchise system and the growing demand for compassionate in-home care.

This broader momentum highlights the economic impact of franchising, from new business creation and job growth to expanded access to valuable services in local communities. FirstLight Home Care’s inclusion on the list underscores the strength of a franchise model centered on meaningful work and genuine impact, helping families find trusted support during some of life’s most important seasons.

“To be recognized by Entrepreneur as one of its fastest-growing franchises for the second year in a row is a meaningful milestone for us and a reflection of the dedication of our franchise owners,” said Glee McAnanly, Chief Executive Officer of FirstLight Home Care. “As more families seek compassionate, dependable in-home support for their loved ones, we remain committed to delivering personalized care that brings peace of mind and helps people live their best day, every day.”

While the list recognizes franchise growth specifically, FirstLight Home Care’s momentum is rooted in more than expansion alone. The brand’s continued growth reflects its Culture of Care, its commitment to personalized support and its focus on building trusted relationships with clients, families, caregivers and communities.
