Almost two decades ago, 1Heart Caregiver Services was founded. Grown from CEO Belina Calderon-Nernberg’s altruism, a trait instilled in her as a young girl in the Philippines, the in-home care agency has stayed true to its mission of “providing the best care for seniors” while expanding in a booming home health-care industry.

Randolph Clarito, vice president of franchise development, shared the success the brand has experienced during a year riddled with pandemic woes. “1Heart almost doubled its revenue for 2021 compared to 2020, which also had good growth. During the COVID-19 pandemic period, franchisees were given a clear directive from the CEO and head office on how to navigate effectively during this difficult period, reducing fear and delivering optimum business results,” he said.

Throughout the pandemic, clients have also received exceptional support. Moving away from the ‘defective’ nature of the U.S. health-care industry, which focuses on illness, 1Heart Caregiver Services focuses on wellness, offering health education programs and activities to clients.

With two new franchise owners signing contracts in February alone, the recession-resilient and pandemic-resistant brand is excited to welcome more franchise owners to the team and has several systems and incentives in place to do so. In addition to providing regular learning sessions and coaching supported by years of experience and knowledge from the brand’s leaders, 1Heart Caregiver Services awards bonuses to franchisees who reach an annual revenue of $1 million, $1.3 million, and $1.5 million.

Calderon-Nernberg said a number of franchise owners have been awarded bonuses, a testament to their hard work and the brand’s proven system. “The top franchisee performer far exceeded the first bonus level, having operated only for four years. This is a remarkable achievement that made us all proud,” she said.

There are several prime territories available across the U.S. for franchisees and area developers who want to make a difference in their communities. Single and multiple franchise locations are available in hot markets, including Texas, Arizona, Colorado, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Georgia, and Florida.
