START A HOME CARE FRANCHISE IN VIRGINIA
Be the Reason Families Can Breathe Again
JOIN THE BUTTERFLY HOME CARE FAMILY
In Virginia, it’s common for one person to carry a lot, work, kids, aging parents, a spouse with health needs, or a child with autism or disabilities. Many families are doing their best, but they’re tired and worried about what happens if they can’t keep up.
A home care franchise in Virginia gives you a way to step in with real, practical help. You can build a business that keeps people safe at home, supports caregivers, and gives families room to breathe again.
Butterfly Home Care gives you:
A proven non-medical care model
Training on how to run the business day to day
Ongoing support so you’re never figuring it out alone
WHY HOME CARE MATTERS SO MUCH IN VIRGINIA
Virginia has a unique mix of people:
Retired military and federal workers who settled here after service
Families in Northern Virginia balancing demanding jobs with caregiving
Communities around Richmond, Hampton Roads, and beyond where aging parents still live in the family home
Households raising children and adults with disabilities or autism who need consistent support
Behind those demographics are very human stories:
An adult child driving across town every night to check on a parent
A spouse who hasn’t had a real break in months
A parent quietly worrying about what will happen to their child with disabilities in the future
For many of these families, sending someone to a facility feels wrong. They want help at home—from people they can trust and get to know over time.
That’s where your agency can come in:
Offering scheduled support, not just “whenever someone is available”
Providing caregivers who show up, listen, and stay
Becoming the name families share with friends when someone whispers, “We can’t keep doing this by ourselves.”
What a Butterfly Home Care Franchise Can Look Like in Virginia
Butterfly Home Care is built for real life, not ideal scenarios.
In one week, your Virginia team might:
Help a veteran in Alexandria stay independent with support for bathing, dressing, and meals
Provide companionship and light support for a widow in Richmond whose children live in another state
Support a teenager with autism in Virginia Beach with after-school routines and calm, consistent structure
Care is:
Non-medical, but very hands-on with daily life
Focused on dignity, safety, and connection
Guided by routines that make life feel more predictable for everyone in the home
As the owner, you’re not doing all the hands-on care. Your role is to:
Hire and support caregivers who lead with patience and respect
Listen to families and shape services around what actually helps
Keep schedules, quality, and communication steady and clear
You become the person who brings some order and relief to situations that have been heavy for a long time.
WHY FRANCHISE WITH US
YOUR EARNING & GROWTH POTENTIAL IN VIRGINIA
Home care in Virginia isn’t a one-time service. When families trust an agency, they often stay for months or years as needs change.
In Virginia, that can look like:
A senior in Fairfax County who needs help with bathing, meals, and safe mobility several days a week
An adult with disabilities in Loudoun County who relies on a structured morning and evening routine
A child with autism in Prince William or Richmond who benefits from consistent in-home support and behavior-focused care
Each new client can lead to:
Ongoing weekly hours instead of one-time visits
Referrals to other family members, neighbors, and church or community groups
Expanded services over time as needs increase or conditions change
Because Virginia has a mix of dense suburbs and fast-growing communities, as your reputation grows in one area, it becomes easier to:
Attract clients in nearby towns and counties
Recruit caregivers who want to work close to home
Build a strong presence within your protected territory
We can’t promise specific income or outcomes, but the recurring nature of home care—and the growing senior, autism, and disability care needs in Virginia—give motivated owners a solid foundation to grow on.
Getting Started in Virginia: What to Expect
Starting any care-related business can feel intimidating, especially if you’ve never done it before. Virginia has its own expectations for organizations that send caregivers into homes—and that’s good. Families deserve that level of protection.
As you set up your franchise, you can expect to:
Form and register your business in Virginia
Work within the state’s requirements for non-medical home care services
Put clear policies and procedures in writing
Complete background checks and screening for your team
Maintain appropriate oversight and quality checks for your services
The details depend on your exact service mix and business structure, and rules can change. You’ll always need to talk with your own legal and accounting advisors to understand what applies to you.
Butterfly Home Care is there to:
Give you a step-by-step roadmap
Share sample documents and checklists to review with your advisors
Help you organize the process so it feels manageable, not overwhelming
You’re not expected to “just know” everything on day one. We walk with you as you learn.

WHO TENDS TO THRIVE AS A FRANCHISE OWNER IN VIRGINIA?
People who do well in this role usually have one thing in common: when others are overwhelmed, they become the calm one.
Owners often have experience in:
Teaching or education
Nursing or healthcare roles
Military or public service
Managing a home or working from home with big responsibilities
Supporting a parent, child, or partner through autism, disabilities, or long-term health needs
You don’t need a medical license. You do need:
A willingness to lead and support a small team
Comfort with schedules, follow-up, and basic numbers
A steady, kind way of talking with families and staff
Openness to following a proven system instead of reinventing everything yourself
If you’re used to being the person people turn to when things feel like “too much,” you already have some of the core traits this work requires.

FAQs
Do I need to be a nurse or have a medical background?
No. You don’t need a clinical license. Many owners come from education, military service, caregiving at home, or other non-clinical roles. What matters most is leadership, communication, and a steady commitment to quality care.
How long does it usually take to open in Virginia?
Timelines vary based on your pace, state steps, and hiring. During the discovery process, we walk through a sample timeline so you can see what the journey typically looks like from first call to first client.
Will you help me understand Virginia’s requirements?
Yes. We provide a clear roadmap, tools, and sample documents. You’ll still rely on your own legal and accounting advisors for final guidance and filings, but you won’t have to start from a blank page.
Can I start from a home office?
Often, yes—especially in the beginning—if your setup fits Virginia and local rules. We’ll talk about what a realistic first-year setup can look like.
How is my territory defined?
We map territories to include enough households and local referral sources to support growth while protecting your investment. Specific options in Virginia are reviewed during your franchise discussions.
What services will my agency provide?
You’ll focus on non-medical support: personal care, daily living help, companionship, and structured support for people with disabilities and autism, all within the boundaries of what Virginia allows for your business type.
