Secure Your Legacy in the Nation’s Fastest-Growing Retirement Hub

Arizona Franchise Opportunities

Arizona is not just a retirement destination; it is a critical growth corridor for the senior care industry. As of early 2026, Arizona maintains its status as one of the top three states for retiree net migration, attracting over 20,000 new seniors annually. This demographic shift is fueled by a state growth rate of approximately 1.2% to 1.3% through 2026, with net migration accounting for nearly 97% of that total population surge.

Prime Arizona Markets for Non-Medical Home Care

Arizona is currently one of the strongest growth environments in the country for in-home senior care. As of 2026, the state continues to see a massive influx of retirees. Because families are increasingly prioritizing safe, respectful aging-in-place solutions over institutional care, there is a consistent, recurring demand for professional support in every major metro area. ComForCare is currently awarding protected territories in two of the most strategic regions in the state—Phoenix and Glendale—providing new owners with a proven playbook to launch and scale a business that meets this critical community need.

Phoenix, AZ: The Epicenter of Care Demand

As the state capital and a primary focus for Southwest net migration, Phoenix is one of the nation's most critical senior care markets.

• A Massive, Rapidly Aging Demographic: Phoenix currently supports a senior population (65+) of approximately 192,844 residents. With the city's total population now exceeding 1.67 million, the demand for essential services like 24-hour monitoring and chronic condition management is unprecedented.
• Premier Healthcare Networks: Your agency will sit at the crossroads of world-class medical systems, including the Mayo Clinic Hospital – Phoenix (ranked the #1 hospital in Arizona for 13 consecutive years) and Banner – University Medical Center Phoenix, consistently ranked among the top regional facilities. These facilities provide a steady stream of "hospital-to-home" referrals for specialized care.
• Specialized Environmental Care: In a region where temperatures regularly exceed 100°F, ComForCare owners implement critical Heat Safety Protocols to manage risks like dehydration and heatstroke for local seniors.

Glendale & The West Valley: A Strategic Growth Corridor

Glendale serves as the gateway to the West Valley, providing a distinct competitive edge for owners looking to dominate a dense, localized senior market.

• The Hub of Active Adult Communities: Glendale provides immediate access to major retirement concentrations, including the iconic Sun City and Sun City West, ensuring a consistent pool of potential clients within a small geographic radius.
• Deep Local Resource Network: Owners benefit from close integration with the Area Agency on Aging (Region One) and the Maricopa County 24-hour Senior HELP LINE (602-264-4357), essential lifelines for Maricopa County seniors.
• Growing Employment Base: The leading industry in Glendale is Health Care and Social Services, providing an established local pool of professionals to recruit from for your caregiver team.
