How much does a First Day Homecare franchise make?
First Day Homecare is one of the franchisors that answers this on the record: its most recent FDD makes an Item 19 financial performance representation — actual unit earnings figures, disclosed by the franchisor itself. The average revenue First Day Homecare reports, what that figure does and doesn't include, and where it ranks against senior & home care peers are in the full report. See every senior & home care brand that discloses earnings in the Senior & home care franchises with disclosed Item 19 earnings ranking.
First Day Homecare franchise profit vs. revenue
Revenue is not profit. An Item 19 almost always reports sales — what a location takes in — not what an owner keeps. Out of that number come First Day Homecare's 5% royalty, the ad fund, rent, payroll, supplies and debt service. No FDD tells you a First Day Homecare franchise's profit, because profit depends on your site, your rent and how you run it — so treat any "First Day Homecare franchise profit" figure quoted elsewhere as someone's estimate, not a disclosure. The full report sets First Day Homecare's disclosed revenue against its total ongoing fee load, so you can see what that revenue has to cover before anything reaches you.
First Day Homecare lawsuits & legal history (FDD Item 3)
First Day Homecare's most recently filed Franchise Disclosure Document (2024) discloses no litigation in Item 3. That is a real signal rather than a gap: the FTC Franchise Rule requires a franchisor to disclose material litigation involving itself, its predecessors, parents, affiliates and management, so an empty Item 3 in a current filing means there was nothing it was required to report. It is worth reading alongside the churn numbers — a system can have a clean Item 3 and still be losing franchisees, which is what Item 20 shows.
First Day Homecare closures & failure rate
Before you sign, First Day Homecare will hand you a list of current owners to call as references — and they choose who's on that list. It won't include the owners who quit, got bought out, or were forced out last year. The FDD does report that number, even though the reference list leaves those people off. Below is what First Day Homecare's most recent filing shows, and whether it's normal for a senior & home care of this kind.
The closest thing an FDD has to a failure rate is Item 20 — outlet openings, closures, terminations and non-renewals, reported by the franchisor. First Day Homecare reports no franchised units open yet — there is no operating track record to churn. The actual closure and termination counts, and how First Day Homecare's churn ranks against senior & home care peers, are in the full report.
