As of 2021, there are over 55 million people 65 years of age and older, and that number is expected to exceed 70 million by 2030, according to the U.S. Census. With a large number of the graying U.S. population wanting to receive in-home care instead of going to a medical facility, because of factors like convenience, affordability, quality, and safety, 1Heart Caregiver Services continues to see consistent growth in the home healthcare industry.

“Our company has rendered millions of hours of service to seniors for the past 17 years,” said Randolph Clarito, vice president of franchise development. “In 2021, we will have serviced more than a thousand seniors every month, helping them in their private homes or senior living facilities.”

Because of this tremendous growth, 1Heart Caregiver Services, an in-home care agency that provides caregiving services to the elderly and other adults to meet their healthcare needs, has developed exciting expansion plans.

The brand has goals to open in Arizona, Texas, Nevada, and the East Coast, after studying the market, seeing the success of their franchisees in California, and receiving franchise applications from across the country. “We have seen our franchisees succeed by following our system and taking good advantage of our support. We feel very confident that we can provide the same level of support and ensure success for our franchises, no matter which state they are in,” said Clarito, adding that he is optimistic about doubling 1Heart’s current number of 12 franchise locations by next year.

The brand, which is run and managed by healthcare professionals with a combined 90 years of experience in healthcare and executive positions, is steeped in passion, dedication and high expectations, to ensure client safety and satisfaction and franchisee growth.

CEO and Founder Belina Calderon-Nernberg has spearheaded multiple successful leadership efforts, including helping her franchise owners feel more confident at the beginning of the pandemic by creating various support systems. She said she feels strongly about the services 1Heart offers.

“Honestly, the older I get, the more I see myself in the shoes of the seniors we serve,” she said. “Aging is just inevitable, and I can only hope that when the time comes, if my kids are not able to take care of me, I will have someone who can treat me with kindness, honesty, compassion and like family. This is not just about a business opportunity; it’s about caring for people who in their younger days have cared for us as well. It’s time to give back that love to them.”

That passion transcends all aspects of the brand, and Clarito, who has over 39 years of experience in the healthcare industry and is a proponent of corporate training and professional development, has made sure that all franchise owners receive comprehensive training and support.

“Franchisee training starts with the five-day 1Heart Business Academy with a focus on the different functions in sales and marketing, operations and finance. This is followed by consistent training and continuing education with regular learning sessions, conferences and workshops, monthly webinars, field training and coaching,” Clarito explained. 1Heart’s continuous education and training ensures that clients receive the best care, and the 1Heart brand continues to grow.
