How long you are in, and what leaving looks like
A standard Hallmark Homecare territory is sized on the whole population, at up to 250,000 people.
This size is shown on its own: Hallmark Homecare sizes territories on the whole population, so it has not made the same measurement as the systems that size on residents aged 65 and over.

How to read these terms
- Contract language does not summarize. Where a filing states a term in words, those words are what we publish, with the page they are on. Only the handful of terms that are genuinely numbers get compared with other systems.
- A territory is only comparable to one measured the same way. Some systems size on residents aged 65 and over, some on the whole population. We keep those apart and never rank one against the other.
- Disclosed cases are not a score. A count of proceedings mostly measures how big and how old a system is. We publish what each filing discloses, in its own words, with a rate per hundred locations so the count is not mistaken for a verdict.

What the agreement says about the minimums
- Sales you must reach: “Beginning twelve (12) months from the Agreement Date and continuing through the end of the 23rd month from the Agreement Date, the Minimum Sales Requirement for each calendar quarter will be equal to $125,000 multiplied by the number of Protected Territories that you have purchased, not to exceed two (2) if you have purchased more than one (1) territory.”
The proceedings, as the filing describes them
- “The order was entered by stipulation of all parties without adjudication of liability.”
What this filing does not disclose
- Nothing material to this question is missing from this filing.
Every term on this page is read from Hallmark Homecare’s own 2026 disclosure document, and the wording is the filing’s rather than ours. Territory sizes are compared only with systems measuring on the same basis. Disclosed proceedings are shown as the filing describes them, with their status where the filing states one. Source ↗
