With the rapid expansion of baby boomers in the U.S., the senior care industry offers many promising aspects for a thriving, long-term business. As a 1Heart Caregiver Services franchisee, you will become a part of a premium, nonmedical home care brand that assists more than 1,000 seniors every month. The company offers training at its in-house 1Heart Caregiver University and has trained more than 2,500 qualified caregivers since 2011.
1Heart offers multiple revenue streams for its franchisees. According to Dylan Sambuceti, director of franchise sales and development, the brand provides countless opportunities for franchisees to grow. “We do everything, including providing staffing solutions for assisted living facilities – so franchisees can contract with them and staff the facility on their behalf – as well as classic, one-on-one caregiver services, including around-the-clock care, hospice or palliative care, as well as individual tangible and needed services.”
Despite a tight labor market, 1Heart always finds caring and qualified caregivers for its clients. “1Heart Caregiver Services is still a caregiver itself, so we are very hands-on with those kinds of caregiver-employer relationships,” Sambuceti said.
The in-home care agency is dedicated to providing comprehensive support to franchisees and recently recognized their owners’ efforts and accomplishments at its yearly gala. Franchisees, caregivers and 1Heart’s corporate office caregivers were honored for years of service and excellent client feedback.
With professionalism, responsibility and reliability as its core values, 1Heart prioritizes its relationships with clients, caregivers and franchisees. Everybody is treated with compassion. “Something we pride ourselves with is treating our franchisees like family,” Sambuceti said. “We do this naturally, but also with the intention that they perpetuate that with their caregivers and their caregivers with the clients.”
With a proven model supported by passionate, hard-working individuals, 1Heart is looking forward to expanding its reach across the U.S. in 2023. “We have a great concept and support system that we are building and would love to see those expand nationwide. Ideally, we would love to close the year at double the amount of franchise agreements currently signed, which is 25, so we would love to see 50 by the end of the year.”
Franchisees can expect ongoing support in all areas of their business, including recruitment and management, as well as continuing training and webinar sessions to ensure growth and progress in their business development. Additionally, territories are currently being awarded based on populations of 350,000 to 400,000 people, and the brand is willing to negotiate territories for new franchisees.
