JOIN THE BUTTERFLY HOME CARE FAMILY


New Jersey families want to keep their loved ones at home, not in facilities. If you’ve ever felt called to do more in your community, a home care franchise in New Jersey can turn that calling into a real, sustainable business. 

Butterfly Home Care gives you the systems, training, and support to launch and grow a non-medical home care agency that serves: 

  • Older adults who want to age in place 

  • Adults with disabilities 

  • Individuals with autism and other developmental needs 

  • Stressed family caregivers who need real support

WHY NEW JERSEY IS A STRONG BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY


New Jersey is aging fast. About 16% of residents are already 65 or older, and that share has grown sharply over the last decade.

That means more people who: 

  • Want to stay in their own homes 

  • Need daily help with personal care and routines 

  • Prefer in-home support over facility care 

New Jersey also has: 

  • Dense communities – more clients within a short driving radius 

  • Many dual-care families – caring for both aging parents and children 

  • A strong culture of staying close to home and community in later years 

For a franchise owner, that translates to: 

  • Ongoing demand for non-medical home care 

  • Families willing to pay for reliable, relationship-based support 

  • Room to specialize in seniors, disabilities, autism, or mixed households 

How Butterfly Home Care Stands Out in New Jersey

Most home care brands focus only on seniors. Butterfly Home Care is built for real-life families, where needs often overlap.

As a New Jersey franchise owner, you can:

  • Support seniors, adults with disabilities, and people with autism

  • Offer help with daily living, routines, structure, and social connection

  • Build long-term relationships instead of short, one-off visits

  • Bring a checklist-free approach to care – focusing on people first, tasks second

Our model is designed to help you:

  • Hire and train caregivers who fit your values

  • Match caregivers to clients based on needs and personality

  • Deliver consistent care that families trust and talk about

This mix of age groups and service types helps you reach more households and build a strong, steady client base in your territory.


WHY FRANCHISE WITH US


YOUR EARNING & GROWTH POTENTIAL IN NEW JERSEY


Home care isn’t a one-time transaction. When families find an agency they trust, they tend to stay for months or years

In New Jersey, that can look like: 

  • A senior in Bergen County who needs help with bathing, meals, and safe mobility several days a week 

  • An adult with disabilities who thrives with a structured morning and evening routine 

  • A child with autism who benefits from consistent in-home support and behavior-focused routines 

Each new client can lead to: 

  • Ongoing weekly hours, not one-off visits 

  • Referrals to other family members or neighbors 

  • Expanded services over time as needs change 

Because New Jersey is dense, as your reputation grows in one town, it becomes easier to: 

  • Attract clients in nearby communities 

  • Recruit caregivers who prefer to work close to home 

  • Build a strong presence in your protected territory 

We can’t promise specific income or outcomes, but the recurring nature of home care and the aging population in New Jersey give motivated owners a strong base to build on.

What You Need to Start a Home Care Franchise in New Jersey

New Jersey takes home care seriously, which is good news when you have support.

In many cases, a non-medical agency that provides personal care, companion care, or help in the home for older adults and people with disabilities needs to qualify as a health care service firm with the state.

That may include:

  • Registering your business with New Jersey agencies

  • Meeting requirements for background checks

  • Having written policies and procedures for care

  • Ensuring appropriate oversight for certain types of services

  • Following ongoing compliance and reporting rules

The exact steps depend on your service mix and business structure, and you’ll always want to review the latest state rules or get your own legal advice. We don’t practice law or replace professional guidance, but we do:

  • Share what other franchisees have learned starting in New Jersey

  • Provide checklists, sample policies, and templates you can adapt

  • Help you stay organized during the application and setup process

Instead of trying to decode requirements on your own, you work with a team that has been through startup and growth many times before.
