Home Instead franchise: AI Adoption Score 67/100
Home Instead (Health / Senior Care, headquartered in USA) operates 600+ US offices units with +0.6% year-over-year unit growth, and scores 67/100 on the FranchisePulse AI Adoption Score for Q3 2026 — ranking #22 of 56 tracked franchise systems.
The senior home-care franchise owned by Honor Technology since 2021, and the clearest case in franchising of a technology company buying a franchise network to run it on its own AI platform. Unit growth is deliberately low — management prioritises census density in existing territories over new flags. International operations in Ireland, Australia, New Zealand and parts of Europe separated and rebranded as Dovida in 2025, so the figure here is the US network.
