America’s Best Franchises (ABF) Brand Insight —
Home care franchises mostly sell the same thing, so the difference shows up in operations. Solenvia attacks the industry’s worst problem — caregiver no-shows — by managing pick-ups and drop-offs itself rather than leaving transportation to the caregiver. Corporate also runs call intake, dispatch, and billing as shared services, so the owner’s day is referral relationships and team leadership instead of back office. Caregivers are W-2 employees rather than contractors. The brand began franchising in 2026.
At a Glance
- Liquid Capital Required: $75,000 (readily available cash or cash-equivalent assets — not from borrowing, selling a primary residence, or relying on future income)
- Ownership Model: Owner-operator
- Location Type: Home office or leased office, by state
- Time Commitment: Full-time
- Experience Required: None; healthcare background not needed
About Solenvia Caregivers
Bryan Dylewski has worked in senior care since 1990, first building a durable medical equipment company that served 42 states. When his father was diagnosed with ALS, the gaps he saw in home care led him to found the agency in Middletown, Connecticut in 2014.
Operating as The HomeAides, the agency served more than 3,500 families and built relationships with over 300 referral partners across Connecticut and Massachusetts. It rebranded as Solenvia in January 2026 and began franchising that year. FranServe named it a FRAN-TASTIC Brand for 2026.
Why Own a Solenvia Caregivers Franchise?
- Caregiver transportation manages pick-ups and drop-offs, cutting no-call no-shows and solving a problem for caregivers without reliable transportation of their own.
- A 24/7 in-house call center handles intake, so leads are answered and routed quickly rather than going to voicemail.
- Billing and collections run as a shared service, removing one of the heaviest administrative burdens in home care.
- Service Plan Managers run regular client and caregiver check-ins to keep care plans on track.
- W-2 caregivers rather than contractors, with a Best Price Guarantee on transparent pricing.
- Territories run larger than most traditional home care franchise offerings, with multi-territory discounts and coverage designed for metro and rural markets alike.
Why This Opportunity, Why Now
ABF Market Analysis —
Demand in home care is not the constraint — supply is. Families can find agencies; what they cannot find is one that shows up reliably. Caregiver turnover and missed shifts are the industry’s chronic failure, and transportation is often the underlying reason. An agency that fixes coverage wins referrals from hospitals, senior living communities, and social workers, and those referral sources are what actually drive a home care business. The aging population keeps the demand side growing regardless of the economy.
ABF Timing Insight —
Solenvia spent more than a decade proving the model in Connecticut and Massachusetts before opening franchising in 2026, which means nearly every market in the country is available. Territories run larger than most home care franchises and are built around senior population density. The brand is on the SBA Franchise Registry, and launch typically takes three to four months. For candidates focused on a particular market, the first question is what remains open there.
Training & Support
- Training runs one week virtually and one week in person, followed by two days of in-market support at launch to get the first clients and caregivers in place.
- Coursework covers the CRM, referral sources, financials, scheduling, payroll and billing, employee recruitment, the Samsara system, and dementia care training and certification.
- Post-launch coaching follows a set cadence — twice weekly in month one, weekly through month four, every other week through the first year, then monthly in year two.
- Shared services handle call intake, caregiver dispatch and transportation, and billing and collections, so owners spend their time on referrals and team leadership.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Do I need healthcare experience?
A: No. Training covers operations, compliance, scheduling, and care delivery, and dementia care training and certification are part of the program.
Q: Can I run this from home?
A: Sometimes. Many states require a commercial office of roughly 1,200 to 1,800 square feet. Solenvia provides site criteria to help you evaluate a compliant location.
Q: How many employees will I need?
A: Typically three to five office staff, full-time and part-time, plus the caregivers scheduled against client hours.
Q: Can I own more than one territory?
A: Yes. Multi-territory ownership is encouraged, with discounts on initial franchise fees for owners who commit to more than one up front.
Q: How important is the leadership team when choosing a franchise?
A: Very important. A proven model matters, but the people leading the brand matter too. During due diligence, spend time with leadership and operations—not just franchise development—and ask how they prioritize franchisee profitability, support, and long-term brand health.
