Currently, there are an estimated 44 million Americans being cared for by family members (Forbes). There are millions of others who receive some type of home care support and assistance. The Baby Boomer generation is retiring and that means the percentage of elderly as a demographic is going to increase and as people get older, challenges also increase, and that means more seniors will require care at home.
A home care franchise is a wonderful opportunity.
It comes down to basic supply and demand economics. The greater the demand, the more opportunities exist to be successful with just about any business endeavor. Keep in mind, though, that for those looking to own a home care business, they really do need to have a sincere desire to help those struggling with basic care at home.
It’s not just physical needs that must be met.
Millions upon millions of people have difficulty with Activities of Daily Living. They struggle just to get out of bed. They can’t get into and out of the shower safely on their own. They are unable to go shopping, prepare a meal, or go up and down stairs without significant assistance.
There are also millions of people of all ages who struggle with mental health issues that can complicate many of these things, even making some of them almost impossible to do without help. May is National Mental Health Month and if you’re looking into a home care franchise opportunity, there has never been a better time to take advantage of it than now.
Make sure you get with a quality company.
Owning a home care franchise can be a wonderful opportunity for those who are truly compassionate, kind, caring individuals who want to help others remain safe and comfortable at home. There are numerous companies out there providing these services and franchise opportunities, but not all of them are optimal.
Investigate the company carefully. Find out what kind of support they offer their franchisees. Understand the cost, the rules and expectations that will need to be followed, and whether this company continues to provide support to their franchisees months and possibly years after they’ve opened their doors and begun taking on clients.
Whether a person needs a home care aide for physical, emotional, or mental health issues shouldn’t matter; what they require is assistance to remain safe and be able to stay home, where they are likely most comfortable.
