Senior care has been identified by The Canadian Franchise Association as one of the fastest growing segments in the Canadian marketplace! As Canada’s baby boomers begin to pass the age of 65, the aging population, accompanying health concerns that arise with age, and increasing life expectancy have contributed to a growing demand for senior care services.

It should come as no surprise that the Baby Boomer generation is the number one factor behind the home care industry’s rapid growth. Today, roughly half of all Baby Boomers have reached retirement age. What’s more, older Baby Boomers are reaching the age when many seniors develop long-term care needs.
In addition, Canadian families are increasingly taking steps to help older family members age in place — a strong preference for the vast majority of seniors.
Here’s a closer look at how these factors are coming together to drive growth in the senior care sector.
According to the Canadian Association of Retired Persons (CARP), 96% of Canadian seniors would prefer to age in place, rather than move in with their children or relocate to a care facility.
Today, roughly half of all Baby Boomers are over the age of 65. Over the next decade, the remaining Baby Boomers will reach retirement age. As a result, the senior population is projected to grow by nearly 30% from 2020 to 2030.
Between the ages of 65 to 75, only 8% of seniors have severe long-term caregiving needs. Over the age of 85, this number rises to more than 40%. Additionally, 25% to 30% of seniors over the age of 85 suffer, or will suffer, from some form of cognitive decline. Because of this relationship, demand for senior care is driven largely by seniors 75+ years old.
In 2021, the first Baby Boomers reached the age of 75 — the age when seniors’ likelihood of required in-home care starts to rapidly increase. This means that peak demand for in-home care among this generation is only starting. Over the next 10 to 20 years, senior care needs are expected to grow dramatically among the Baby Boomer generation, driving further growth in this sector.

The senior care industry’s projected growth makes starting a home care business a lucrative opportunity. However, running a home care agency takes dedication, passion, and a commitment to helping other people. The industry might not be for everyone, but it can be highly rewarding — both financially and personally — for the right kind of person.
While the home care industry is projected to grow rapidly in the next 10 years, this growth is not expected to stop after the Baby Boomer generation. The Canadian senior population will continue growing through at least 2060!
Senior Helpers not only ranks among the best franchise opportunities in the home care sector — we’re also one of the most affordable franchise systems available to investors. As a brand, we offer key differentiators to our locations, including our proprietary LIFE™ Profile assessment. We are also one of the top rated brands for caregiver recruitment, helping our franchisees navigate the challenge of recruiting, training, and retaining high-quality caregivers.
