Are you looking for one of the UK’s top care franchises?
Our first franchisees followed the business model, took our guidance, applied their skills and grew from zero to £1m turnover in year 1*.
Future stability | Deep rewards | Generous returns
Starting a business caring for people at home answers an urgent need in society, making this a stable, growing sector, one largely immune to political and economic turmoil. Better yet, advancing tech and AI presents a huge opportunity for your new business, rather being a threat.
It’s human-to-human, benefitting people throughout your local community, where working with passion, following a proven business model and applying sound values delivers real rewards.
What MATTERS most
We live by focusing on what matters most, with a wonderful caring culture that franchisees have embraced for their local businesses too.
As franchisor we are a multi-generational family team, providing franchisees a real breadth and depth of experience, a pure passion for care and stability for the network’s future.
- Build your business following one of the very best models. A reputation for excellence – our template operation is rated in the top 2% of care providers by the CQC.
- By taking care of the little details that really matter to our clients, a culture embraced across the network, franchisees also enjoy 28% of business coming through referrals.
- Target a wide mix of private clients, avoiding the pressures of functional local authority care.
- Franchisees enjoy direct access to the family’s huge breadth of skills, knowledge and experience to grow their business.
- No industry experience needed. If neither you or your business partner have industry experience, employ a registered manager to nurture the care portion of your business.
- Established in 2005 and launched as a franchise in 2021, we still have prime undeveloped territories available across the UK.
People just like YOU
The CareYourWay franchise is a perfect route to building your own business in the care sector, and we welcome business partnerships too! In fact, our most successful franchisees combine an astute commercial-minded partner with a passionate people-person, someone who wants to lead from the front.
When we were looking for a franchise within this sector, we did not want to settle for mediocrity. When we started speaking to CareYourWay, we felt deeply aligned with their family values, and after discovering that the model is based off a CQC ‘Outstanding’ operation in the top 1% of UK care providers, that was the driving force we needed.
In our first financial year, we reached £1,000,000 turnover, and I just can’t believe it. We’ve changed thousands of lives so far, all made possible by Head Office. We wouldn’t be here without them
Support from Head Office is amazing. Next to none. We meet with Michelle weekly which is fantastic – we’re following an amazing process with a great and clear direction. We’ve never been in this industry, so it’s all extremely valuable.
CareYourWay cared for my Mum at the end of her life. They were amazing - they went above and beyond with anything that she needed. The team were just brilliant, and that made me want to join and become a franchise member.
Care is hard work and carries a lot of responsibility, we don’t believe you can succeed in this sector without ‘caring’ and that brings its own stresses. With a business partner and all of us at head office, you won’t ever be alone on this business journey.
Investment + Returns
The total initial investment varies from £80k - £130k depending on your business plan.

CareYourWay Launches Creative Cafés Across the UK in Partnership with The Creation Station
Uniting two franchise networks to bring creativity and connection to older communities nationwide.
CareYourWay has announced the launch of Creative Cafés, a new nationwide initiative designed to bring creativity, connection and shared experiences to clients across its growing UK franchise network.
Developed in partnership with The Creation Station, the award-winning creative franchise founded by Sarah Cressall OBE, the programme introduces both in-person creative sessions and at-home craft experiences, all provided free of charge. This marks an important milestone, making CareYourWay the first home care franchise in the UK to formally integrate Creation Station-led creative activities into its care model.
As Emerging Franchisor of the Year at the 2025 British Franchise Awards, CareYourWay is a family-founded home care provider that has grown into a national franchise network, focused on delivering highly personalised care that helps people live well and thrive at home. The Creation Station is widely recognised for using creativity to support wellbeing and connection across communities. Together, the partnership brings a natural alignment of values, combining person-centred care with creative engagement in a meaningful and accessible way.
The initiative also reflects the value of collaboration within franchising, bringing together two like-minded networks to extend their reach and create a positive impact within local communities.
Where It All Began
The partnership began in summer 2025, when CareYourWay’s CEO and Co-Founder Sarah Sabater, met Sarah Cressall OBE, Founder and CEO of The Creation Station, and discovered a shared passion for supporting people and strengthening communities.
What began as an initial conversation soon evolved into a shared vision to bring creativity into care. Planning continued throughout the autumn, with growing interest across the CareYourWay network. In October 2025, the concept was introduced at the annual CareYourWay Franchise Conference, where it was warmly received as a new way to enhance client wellbeing.
Bringing the Vision to Life
Following months of planning, the initiative came to life on the 31st March at a special launch event in South Devon, home to CareYourWay’s flagship office.
Clients, carers and the local team came together to enjoy a day of creativity, live music and shared moments, with a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere that encouraged conversation and connection. Attendees created pieces to take home, making the experience both enjoyable and meaningful.
The event marked the beginning of a wider journey as Creative Cafés begin to take shape across the network.
Creativity, Connection and Community
At the heart of Creative Cafés is a simple belief: creativity brings people together.
Clients across the CareYourWay network will be invited to attend welcoming, in-person sessions led by trained Creation Station leaders. Held in community settings, these sessions bring together clients, carers and local teams, creating opportunities for shared experiences and genuine connection.
Activities will range from seasonal crafts to more personal projects, offering clients a chance to express themselves, stay engaged and experience a sense of achievement.
All sessions are free for CareYourWay clients. For those who prefer to take part at home, creative craft packs will also be available, including all materials and guidance needed to enjoy meaningful activities in a familiar environment. Sessions will evolve throughout the year, reflecting different seasons and occasions.
A Shared Vision for Better Care
Sarah Sabater, Founder of CareYourWay, said:
“At CareYourWay, we have always believed that great care is about more than meeting practical needs; it’s about creating moments of joy, connection and purpose.
This partnership with The Creation Station brings something truly special to the people we support. Creative Cafés will open up new opportunities for our clients to come together, express themselves and feel part of something meaningful, whether that’s in a local setting or from the comfort of their own home.
As we roll this out across our network, I’m incredibly excited to see the positive impact it will have in communities nationwide.”
Sarah Cressall OBE, Founder of The Creation Station, added:
“Creativity is such a powerful way to connect people, spark joy and support wellbeing. Partnering with CareYourWay allows us to bring those benefits to even more people in a truly meaningful way.
From the very first conversation, it was clear that we shared the same values and passion for making a difference. Seeing this come to life has been incredibly special, and we’re excited to see Creative Cafés grow across the network.”
Rolling Out Across the Network
Following the successful launch, Creative Cafés will roll out across the CareYourWay franchise network in late April, reaching communities through each local office.
This marks an important step in CareYourWay’s ongoing mission to combat loneliness, strengthen communities and provide care that goes beyond the everyday.
As the initiative expands nationwide, Creative Cafés will bring people together across the UK, one conversation, one creation and one community at a time.
