Caremark Franchise

This is the kind of graph that should make you pause.

The UK’s 85+ population is projected to nearly double, from 1.7m to 3.3m. For home care, this means demand will only move in one direction. UP!

For the right franchise owner, that creates a rare opportunity: to build a local business with real stability behind it, while doing work that genuinely matters. Not a quick win sector. A serious, essential service where reputation, relationships, and consistency drive growth.

Caremark exists to help franchise owners build that kind of business, with the training, systems, and support that make growth feel confident, not chaotic.

⭐ 5 Stars… and a national win

This is what we mean when we say Caremark are not standing still!

Caremark has just been awarded 5 Star Franchisee Satisfaction for 2026 in the independent WorkBuzz survey of our franchise owners.

We have also been named the Winner of the Best Franchise Awards 2026 for Continuous Improvement. Our 2026 score is up again on previous years, which tells us our owners feel backed, listened to and supported to grow.

You cannot buy this result. To achieve and keep 5 Star status, franchisors have to meet strict participation criteria and resurvey regularly, so the focus stays on improving, not just celebrating once.

If Caremark is on your shortlist, this is the kind of proof you want before you make a decision.

👉 Read the full rundown on our blog for the details behind this accolade and what it means if you become a Caremark franchise owner.

A lot of people still see franchising as something you do “later”, once you have had a long corporate career. The reality is shifting.

Younger franchise owners in their late twenties and early thirties are bringing fresh energy, strong digital skills and a longer runway to grow something meaningful over time. In return, a good franchise gives them a proven model, training, mentoring and a brand that already has trust behind it.

Franchising at any age is possible. The real question is less “am I old enough” and more “am I ready to learn fast, lead people and back myself”.

Does franchising feel like something for “future you”, or could it be closer than you think

Do not just take it from us. See what Kawan, Franchise Owner of Caremark North Norfolk and Great Yarmouth, says below.

Friday night at Caremark's conference and St George’s Park was transformed for our Hollywood gala to celebrate the Caremark Awards 2026 🌟

Huge congratulations to all our incredible winners and finalists. Your leadership, quality and care for your teams and customers are what bring this network to life.

We were treated to West End performances and guided through the evening by the brilliant Alan Dedicoat.

A massive thank you as well to everyone who helped us bring the night together, including Lucy Nicholls and the PS Events Group.

It was a special way to end two days of learning, connection and celebration for the whole Caremark family.

Everyone is talking about AI. Fewer people are talking about what it actually means if you own a franchise...

In a new opinion piece for Elite Franchise, Caremark CEO David Glover shares his perspective on AI in franchising, from the real opportunities it gives franchise owners to the risks if you forget that people and relationships still sit at the heart of any good network.

He explores how tools like AI can support smarter marketing, better decision making and stronger support for franchise owners, without losing the human judgment and values that make a brand like Caremark different.

If you are exploring franchise options and want a thoughtful, grounded view on how AI is likely to shape the next few years for franchising, this is well worth a read.

Franchise leaders are racing to adopt AI. The ones who win will be those who use it to strengthen human judgement, not replace it.

Not every franchise journey starts from scratch. Sometimes the strongest move is to take a good business and make it even stronger.

That is what husband and wife team Andy and Paula Key chose to do when they bought the Caremark Chichester resale. They stepped into an office with an existing customer base, a local name people already trusted, and clear headroom for growth.

With Paula’s decades in care and Andy’s background in engineering and risk, they focused first on culture, quality and team stability, then built from there with confidence.

We have pulled some of the key moments from their story into this carousel so you can see what a Caremark resale looks like in practice.

Here are some of the highlights, then read the full case study here to explore whether a resale route could make sense for you: https://www.caremark.co.uk/franchise-case-studies/caremark-chichester-franchise-resale/

A quick rundown from Caremark's Conference before we switch into gala mode🎬

Today we have heard from expert speakers and leaders across the network on customers, employment, leadership, Al in home care, quality and workforce. The conversations have been honest, practical and focused on what it takes to be the best, with no compromise on real care.

Tonight we end our conference with a Hollywood glitz and glamour themed gala dinner and awards night. A chance to recognise franchise owners and teams who have gone above and beyond in the last year.

Learning first, celebration second. Both matter.

A quick timelapse from this morning as the room was filling at St George's Park for our
2026 Caremark conference👀

Over 190 franchise owners, suppliers and Support Centre colleagues are here, ready for a day of valuable networking, expert speakers and dynamic breakout sessions.

Today is all about what it really takes to run a high-performing care business while staying true to real care.

We come into this year as the BFA Franchisor of the Year and Top 5 in the Elite Franchise
100. Now it is about what happens next. Let us keep being the best. No compromise.

Everyone is checked in. Bags are unpacked, and the first drinks are being poured💙🥂🤝

Tonight is a relaxed chance for franchise owners, suppliers and the Support Centre team to catch up over food and conversation before a full conference day tomorrow.

You can already hear plans for customers, teams and the year ahead being shared around the room. A good warm up before we get into what it takes to run a high performing care business in the morning.

A huge well done to the winners of Caremark's football match at St George's
Park⚽️🎉

More importantly, thank you to everyone who laced up their boots, shouted from the sidelines and got stuck in. Seeing Franchise Owners, Support Centre Staff and suppliers playing together, laughing and cheering each other on is the moment you realise how close this network really is.

For many of our Franchise Owners, this is the side of Caremark they value most.

Yes, it is a serious business, but it is also a group of people who know how to relax together and look out for one another.
