At BarbaraKares, we are passionate about transforming the landscape of caregiving across the nation, starting with our local communities. Our franchise model is designed to empower our partners with both profitability and flexibility, allowing them to achieve a work-life balance, like being able to spend quality time with family or pursue other personal interests.
Our pride lies in providing compassionate, personalized care to families, helping loved ones remain at home where they feel most comfortable. Each caregiver follows time-tested caregiving methods rooted in empathy and dedication.
From daily caregiving tasks to specialized support services, our approach combines professional excellence with a personal touch. All services are delivered with care, ensuring families receive the quality assistance they deserve.
We’re not just about providing care; we’re committed to bringing trusted, family-centered caregiving nationwide. Our dedication to compassion, quality, and customer satisfaction is what sets BarbaraKares apart, shaping the caregiving experience in every community we serve.
Our unwavering commitment ensures compassionate, top-tier care and support for both patients and caregivers.
We foster an environment where our franchisees thrive, balancing business success with personal fulfillment.
Our collaborative approach creates mutually beneficial relationships that drive long-term success for both BarbaraKares and our franchise partners.
We refer to our process as a “matching process” because both parties need to get to know one another over a period of time in order to decide if there’s a “match”. The BarbaraKares business model is a fun and exciting opportunity, but it’s not right for everyone nor is everyone right for it. Our 6-step matching process is key for a successful, long-term partnership.

Absolutely not! Our core values are that our partners are enjoying the balance of spending time with their family and children throughout the week. Franchisees have the flexibility to be Owner Operators, Manage-the-Manager, or Husband/Wife teams sharing the day-to-day management duties.
