FirstLight Home Care, a leading national provider of non-medical home care, has been ranked No. 18 on Franchise Gator's Top 100 Franchises of 2019 and No. 30 on the Fastest Growing Franchise list.

Franchise Gator is an online database and directory for prospective franchise owners that highlights successful franchises based on what Franchise Gator deems are the highest quality franchisors with focus on financial stability, growth, transparency, engagement, continuity and sustainability. Its lists are a unique ranking of franchises that have staying power and rapid growth. The media outlet selects winners based on a formula that analyzes hundreds of franchise disclosure documents to highlight franchises that have the highest potential of success for business owners.

"It is always a big feather in our cap when we earn recognition within our industry," said Jeff Bevis, co-founder and CEO of FirstLight Home Care. "We pride ourselves on being one of the best franchises around, and earning these distinctions from respected organizations like Franchise Gator helps us show what a great franchise opportunity FirstLight is to prospective owners."

FirstLight Home Care offers a high-demand service with a focus on helping adults in need of non-medical home care. FirstLight assists seniors, new mothers, veterans, adults with disabilities, and those recovering from illness, injury or surgery, who need help on a short-term or long-term basis. The franchisor provides a hands-on training program to support business owners and to help them succeed.

"Our business owners are passionate about helping those in need of caregiving services. For many of them, FirstLight is a calling, not a career choice," Bevis said. "We are selective in our franchise ownership process, choosing those who have values that align with the foundation and culture of FirstLight Home Care. We provide extensive support to our franchise owners so they can provide the highest quality, non-medical home care around the country."

The past six months have seen FirstLight Home Care accumulate many distinctions for franchising, with the Franchise Gator lists being the latest. The company was recently recognized by Entrepreneur as a top franchise for veterans. Last year, FirstLight made the Inc. 5000 list of fastest-growing, privately held companies, as well as the Franchise Times Top 200+ of the 500 largest franchise companies for the fourth and sixth consecutive times, respectively. The company was also featured on Franchise Business Review's Top 100 Franchises for Innovation list.
