    Comfort Keepers®, one of the largest franchises in the senior home care industry, was named one of the top 25 brands with the most satisfied franchise owners. This comes from a confidential survey conducted by the Franchise Research Institute® to determine the level of franchise satisfaction within the Comfort Keepers system.
