How much does a Caring Transitions franchise make?
Caring Transitions is one of the franchisors that answers this on the record: its most recent FDD makes an Item 19 financial performance representation — actual unit earnings figures, disclosed by the franchisor itself. The headline figure did not machine-read cleanly from this filing, so we don't print one; Item 19 of the source FDD has the tables. See every senior & home care brand that discloses earnings in the Senior & home care franchises with disclosed Item 19 earnings ranking.
Caring Transitions franchise profit vs. revenue
Revenue is not profit. An Item 19 almost always reports sales — what a location takes in — not what an owner keeps. Out of that number come Caring Transitions's 6% royalty, the ad fund, rent, payroll, supplies and debt service. No FDD tells you a Caring Transitions franchise's profit, because profit depends on your site, your rent and how you run it — so treat any "Caring Transitions franchise profit" figure quoted elsewhere as someone's estimate, not a disclosure.
Caring Transitions lawsuits & legal history (FDD Item 3)
Caring Transitions's most recently filed Franchise Disclosure Document (2026) does disclose 3 legal proceedings in Item 3 . Item 3 is the item where a franchisor must put its material legal history on the record. Two things it is not: it covers the franchisor and its predecessors, parents and affiliates, so a disclosed case is not necessarily a suit against Caring Transitions itself; and a disclosure is a fact, not a finding of wrongdoing — most entries are contract disputes with former franchisees, which every large system accumulates. 1 of those proceedings were brought by franchisees against the franchisor — the split that actually matters, because franchisees suing their franchisor is the signal a buyer is looking for. Item 3 of the source FDD describes each case.
Caring Transitions closures & failure rate
Before you sign, Caring Transitions will hand you a list of current owners to call as references — and they choose who's on that list. It won't include the owners who quit, got bought out, or were forced out last year. The FDD does report that number, even though the reference list leaves those people off. Below is what Caring Transitions's most recent filing shows, and whether it's normal for a senior & home care of this kind.
The closest thing an FDD has to a failure rate is Item 20 — outlet openings, closures, terminations and non-renewals, reported by the franchisor. Caring Transitions's latest tables show a growing franchised network. Its franchised-outlet closure rate — closures, terminations and non-renewals against outlets — is 1.9%, against a senior & home care median of 1.5% — worse than the category. Net franchised outlets moved +51 to 423 in the latest reported year.
Who owns Caring Transitions?
Caring Transitions's franchise is offered by C.T. Franchising Systems, LLC — the franchisor named on the cover of its most recently filed Franchise Disclosure Document (2026), and the entity a franchisee actually signs with. That name comes straight off the filing at WI DFI; it identifies the franchisor, not necessarily the ultimate parent company behind it.

Caring Transitions franchise — frequently asked
Who owns Caring Transitions — who is the franchisor?
Caring Transitions's most recently filed FDD (2026) names C.T. Franchising Systems, LLC as the franchisor — the entity you would actually sign the franchise agreement with, as stated on the disclosure document itself.

How much does a Caring Transitions franchise cost?
Caring Transitions's most recently filed FDD (Item 7) puts the total estimated initial investment at a range disclosed in Item 7, with an initial franchise fee of $58,900 and a 6% royalty. That price is the franchisor's own estimate of what it takes to open, not a quote.
How much profit does a Caring Transitions franchise make?
Caring Transitions discloses unit earnings in Item 19, but that figure is revenue — sales — not profit. Royalties (6% of gross for Caring Transitions), the ad fund, rent, payroll and supplies all come out of it, and no FDD discloses what an owner nets. Any Caring Transitions franchise profit number quoted elsewhere is an estimate.
Does Caring Transitions disclose financial performance (Item 19)?
Yes — Caring Transitions reports unit-level earnings in Item 19. The headline figure did not machine-read cleanly, so check Item 19 of the source FDD for the numbers.
Are there lawsuits against Caring Transitions?
Caring Transitions's most recently filed FDD (2026) discloses 3 legal proceedings in Item 3. Item 3 covers the franchisor, its predecessors, parents and affiliates — so a disclosed case is not necessarily a suit against Caring Transitions itself, and a disclosure is not a finding of wrongdoing. 1 of the disclosed proceedings were brought by franchisees against the franchisor.
Is Caring Transitions a good franchise to buy?
