Writer Julie Bennett profiles Chicago Home Instead Senior Care Owner Michael Melinger in a story about what Bennett describes as "arguably the hottest segment in franchising." Bennett shadows Melinger and reports on the successes he and his wife Jackie have had since opening their business in 2001.

"How could I take all this into a senior facility?" she asks. "I'm very independent and could never ask my neighbors to run errands or take me to physical therapy. Thank God there's a well-run business that can help a person like me."
