The Process for Awarding a BrightStar Senior Living® Franchise

After developing a strong reputation for BrightStar Senior Living, we are seeking the help of like-minded franchisees to share in our success as we bring our unmatched assisted living and memory care experience to families across the nation.

Because we want to make sure you have the best possible chance to succeed, we follow our time-tested business model that lays out the steps to success. Read on to learn how to start a BrightStar Senior Living franchise.

  1. Informational Webinar

    Here, we will introduce you to our BrightStar Senior Living. We will also highlight the senior living industry and how we’re perfectly positioned for the senior living marketplace today and in the future.

  2. Submit Franchise Application

    During this process, we will determine if you are financially qualified to become a BrightStar Senior Living franchisee. We will also discuss operational review.

  3. Discovery & Validation

    During this time, you will have the opportunity to visit with current franchise owners, plan a visit to tour BrightStar Senior Living, and attend Discovery Day at our headquarters in Gurnee, IL.
