Section I – Background Information

With more than 270 locations in 36 states, BrightStar Care is a leading chain in the medical and non-medical home care and medical staffing segment with a focus on seniors. Founded in 2002, the company began franchising in 2005 and has enjoyed steady, moderate growth over the last several years.

After experiencing what it was like trying to find care for a loved one, Shelly and JD Sun realized there was a real need to address in the senior care segment. They founded BrightStar Care as a family to address that need for senior services that were more dependable, more supportive, and more complete.

Their niche has expanded beyond seniors to include all kinds of home care, including childcare (including newborn care, babysitter, and nanny services) and medical staffing services for individuals, families and healthcare facilities.

Here’s how BrightStar Care gives people peace of mind about their loved ones:

Keeping the Comfort Zone

The plain fact of the matter is that people are most comfortable in their own homes, a place that feels safe and familiar. BrightStar Care’s mission is to help your loved ones stay right where they want to be for as long as possible, providing every service they need from companionship, toileting, and hygiene assistance to in-home blood draws.

Beyond Home-care

BrightStar Care also provides healthcare staffing solutions to businesses on a temporary, temporary to permanent, and permanent placement basis. The company can provide personnel to hospitals, nursing homes, doctors’ offices, labs, or anywhere healthcare staff is needed.

Its national account services range from insurance assessments and IV infusion therapy to home health, in addition to delivering flu clinic services to corporate, commercial, and retail clients.

High Standards

BrightStar has made it its mission to go over and above to set a higher standard of care. The professional care team is led by a registered nurse Director of Nursing so that loved ones receive expert, compassionate care.

Those higher standards are validated by both the Joint Commission Accreditation and by Press Ganey Client Satisfaction Surveys. The company’s 2014 Patient Impact Survey showed that 9 out of 10 clients recommend BrightStar to others.

CEO Spotlight

Shelly Sun, co-founder and CEO of BrightStar Care, has received a good deal of media attention, which is never a bad thing for brand recognition (at least when it’s positive coverage). In 2009, she received the International Franchise Association’s Entrepreneur of the Year award, and in 2010 made an appearance on Undercover Boss, the popular CBS reality TV program.

🤷‍♀️Why Work with a Franchise Broker?

A good franchise broker can help you to find the right franchise. They provide:

✅ Recommendations based on their assessment of historical financial performance (Item 19, FDD) instead of just franchise marketing materials.

✅ Franchise matches based on your goals, strengths, and passions.

✅ Demographic analysis to find franchises that could work in your area.

✅ A portfolio of franchises to meet almost any budget, interest, or goals.

✅ Referrals to other specialists, like franchise lawyers.

✅ Information on financing sources.

✅ Coaching in the due diligence process, based on experience with dozens of candidates.

✅ Help presenting yourself in the best light, to increase your chances of success.

✅ No fees for their services: franchisors pay them a success fee if an agreement is signed.

To get started, fill out this form, and a specialist from the Franchise Brokers Association will reach out to you.
