    Join our Assisted Living franchise and become part of the future of senior living

    Here’s your chance to do something truly good. The need for change in this sector is overwhelmingly clear. A core component of your resident base, the senior population, is growing exponentially, and demand for housing solutions is expected to continue strong growth.

    By 2036, the population aged 65 and over is expected to grow to 79 million seniors.

    The U.S. will need almost two million more housing facilities by 2040 to provide living space for seniors who need care.

    But it’s not enough to simply offer housing or living space. Today, families expect and deserve assisted living solutions that address the whole person, and embody a place where they can imagine themselves living. Meraki Assisted Living Franchise is a break-through solution which provides comfortable residential homes, combined with unmatched personalized services and amenities, and a common sense approach to caring for one another.
