ELEVATING HOME CARE
As the population ages, the home care industry is booming with opportunity. Families are committed to finding trusted, high-quality care for their loved ones. Since 2006, Assisting Hands® Home Care has been providing individuals with the exceptional and compassionate care they need to remain happy, healthy and at home.
Over the last decade, the company has experienced significant growth, solidifying its position as a leading franchise in the industry. This growth is a testament to the company’s strong franchise model and ability to adapt to an increasing demand for home care services.
Assisting Hands was founded by Dr. Gail Silverstein and Cline Waddell after Silverstein’s personal experiences with home care made her recognize a serious gap within the industry regarding consistent, quality care. The company provides a wide range of in-home care services including home health care, personal care, companionship, meal preparation and medication reminders. Thanks to its strong focus on compassion, quality and personalized care, the brand empowers clients to maintain their independence and dignity.
In 2015, Assisting Hands had a strong foundation with 94 territories, 35 offices and seven area representatives. By the end of 2024, the company expects to grow to 228 territories, 104 offices fully operational and an additional 15 offices on the horizon, supported by 24 area representatives critical to the company’s growth.
One of the key factors driving Assisting Hands’ success is its unique FOFO® (Family of Franchise Owners) culture. This supportive community fosters collaboration, knowledge-sharing and camaraderie among franchisees. By prioritizing personal and professional development, the company enables its franchisees to achieve their goals and contribute to the overall growth of the company.
Assisting Hands also offers a scalable business model that allows franchisees to adapt to the evolving needs of their clients. This flexibility, alongside the company’s comprehensive support system, enables franchisees to build successful businesses while maintaining high standards of care. There are single- and multi-unit options available, as well as the opportunity to become an area representative for the brand, allowing owners to support and guide other franchisees toward a successful future.
Assisting Hands’ commitment to excellence is evident in its rigorous franchisee vetting process. Home care is deeply personal and sensitive, requiring caregivers of the highest caliber. These individuals are entrusted with the well-being of vulnerable clients, often forming strong bonds and playing a crucial role in their lives. By focusing on the selection and training of top-tier franchise owners, Assisting Hands ensures that clients receive the highest quality of care, prioritizing their dignity, comfort and overall well-being.
“As the demand for compassionate in-home care continues to soar, Assisting Hands is uniquely positioned to capitalize on this growing market,” said Chief Operating Officer Andrew Dahle. “With a strong foundation, experienced leadership and a dedicated team of franchisees, the company is poised for further expansion and success. Our commitment to providing exceptional care, coupled with our proven business model, ensures that we will remain a leader in the home care industry for years to come.”
