CINCINNATI, Aug. 25, 2026 // PRNewswire // -- Home Helpers® Home Care signed 18 franchise agreements through the second quarter of 2026, demonstrating steady growth as demand rises for care delivered at home.

Home Helpers® Home Care signed seven agreements, opened nine new locations and completed two expansions in Q1 2026, followed by 11 new agreements and four new openings in Q2 2026.

"Home Helpers franchisees bring experience, heart and fresh thinking to the work of helping people remain independent at home," Dickison said. "The Home Helpers National Conference gave everyone an important opportunity to learn from one another, recognize excellent work and prepare for the next stage of responsible growth."
