Being named a finalist in the 2026 Home Care Awards, in the Innovative Technology Expertise category, is a powerful endorsement of that approach. Alongside this, several GoodOaks branches have also been shortlisted across key categories, demonstrating the strength, consistency, and scalability of the GoodOaks model.

For prospective Franchise Partners, this recognition reinforces why GoodOaks is a brand to invest in.

The GoodOaks franchise model is designed to support local owners while maintaining national consistency. Our recent award nominations span both established and start-up branches, highlighting that our systems work at every stage of the business journey.

• GoodOaks New Forest has been recognised across multiple categories, including Development of an Existing Brand, Best Individual Home Care Branch within a Network, and Specialist Care Expertise

• GoodOaks Homecare Woodford Green and GoodOaks Mid Cheshire have both been named finalists for Best Start-Up Home Care Service or New Franchise Partner.

This breadth of recognition shows that when Franchise Partners follow the GoodOaks framework, they are well positioned for both commercial success and care excellence.

What sets GoodOaks apart is our ability to combine compassion with innovation in ways that strengthen the entire network.

Over the past year, we’ve invested in national initiatives that add tangible value to every franchise, including:

• Digital Health Monitoring, giving care teams tools for early detection and proactive support

• A free Virtual GP service for clients, reducing barriers to healthcare access and increasing family confidence

• GP Connect integration, supporting joined-up care with NHS systems

These centrally led innovations enhance service quality, differentiate GoodOaks in competitive markets, and support franchise growth without adding operational complexity for local owners.

For Franchise Partners, this means stronger client propositions, improved retention, and increased trust from families and local professionals.

GoodOaks is a brand built on a clear promise: to deliver care we’d be happy for our own loved ones to receive. That promise resonates with clients, families, commissioners, and staff, and it underpins our commercial success.

Our community health and wellbeing events, digital services, and people-first culture strengthen local brand presence while reinforcing national credibility. This combination helps franchise partners build trusted, respected businesses in their communities.

The GoodOaks franchise model offers:

• A strong central support team

• Clear operational systems

• Ongoing training and development

• National marketing and brand leadership

• A growing reputation for innovation and quality

Recognition at the Home Care Awards reflects the effectiveness of this model and the momentum of the GoodOaks network as a whole.

Demand for high-quality, technology-enabled home care continues to grow. GoodOaks is well positioned to meet that demand with a model that is scalable, values-driven, and future-ready.

For those looking to invest in a franchise opportunity that combines commercial strength with meaningful impact, GoodOaks Homecare represents a compelling choice.
