Brightstar_Care Franchise · 2025 FDD

Answer from 2025 FDD Document

You will operate an agency that provides and markets comprehensive non-medical and/or medical home care services to national account clients or home care clients within their home or residence as well as supplemental healthcare staff to institutional clients according to the administrative and operational components noted in your Franchise Agreement (the "BrightStar Care Agency Program" or "Program"). A "private-duty client" means a client who receives care in the client's home or other place of residence regardless of the nature of the payor for such care (e.g., a private individual, long-term care insurance, commercial insurance, National Accounts payor, Medicare Advantage, Medicaid, etc.). A copy of the Franchise Agreement is attached as Exhibit B to this Disclosure Document. As described in further detail below, the BrightStar Care Agency Program provides franchisees with four primary revenue streams: Non-Medical (Companion) Caregiver inhome care services, Personal Care in-home care services, Medical Skilled Care in-home care services, and Supplemental Healthcare Staffing. As a new location, the training will emphasize Companion, Personal Care, and Skilled in-home care services as well as utilization of the BrightStar Care National Accounts Program. You will be offered supplemental training for Medical Skilled in-home care services (where allowed by state licensure laws) and Supplemental Healthcare Staffing. Some BrightStar Care franchisees offer all four services, and some do not. For example, not all franchisees provide Medical Skilled Care in-home care services where state regulations prevent their ability to do so (as further described below) or where Certificate of Need laws do not allow some or all medical skilled services.

What This Means (2025 FDD)

According to the 2025 BrightStar Care FDD, franchisees operate an agency providing non-medical and/or medical home care services to national account clients or home care clients within their home or residence. The FDD states that as a new location, training will emphasize Companion, Personal Care, and Skilled in-home care services as well as utilization of the BrightStar Care National Accounts Program.

The BrightStar Care Agency Program offers franchisees four primary revenue streams: Non-Medical (Companion) Caregiver in-home care services, Personal Care in-home care services, Medical Skilled Care in-home care services, and Supplemental Healthcare Staffing. However, not all franchisees offer all four services. For example, some franchisees may not provide Medical Skilled Care in-home care services where state regulations prevent them from doing so or where Certificate of Need laws do not allow some or all medical skilled services.

A "private-duty client" is defined as a client who receives care in their home or residence, regardless of who pays for the care. This includes private individuals, long-term care insurance, commercial insurance, National Accounts payor, Medicare Advantage, Medicaid, etc. The BrightStar Care National Accounts Program is therefore a component of the overall BrightStar Care Agency Program, focusing on securing and servicing clients through national-level contracts and agreements.
