As the population ages, families across the country are eager to find a comprehensive, high-quality care option for their aging loved ones. Since 1997, Home Helpers® Home Care has established a proven track record of helping aging individuals remain safe and independent at home.
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the demand for home health and personal care assistants is expected to rise by 22% in the next eight years, much faster than the national average for all occupations at just 2.8%. Because of this, there’s never been a better time to enter the home care industry.
“Home care is an essential service as people continue to age and want to remain independent,” explained Nick Way, director of brand marketing. “Even through the 2007 recession and the pandemic, we’ve experienced growth because it’s an essential service, and there is an ongoing need for it.”
Over the last decade, Home Helpers Home Care has experienced a 9% annual growth rate and boasts an estimated $1.7 million average unit volume. Not only is the company experiencing tremendous growth, but it’s also reaching a greater level of success as each year passes. According to Way, 2023 was one of the company’s best years to date, with 40 new franchises awarded, and the company is looking to add 44 franchises this year.
A large part of the company’s success comes from its Cared-4SM program, one of the most comprehensive care programs in the industry. The program provides around-the-clock care to help keep individuals independent through caregiver services, monitoring services, meal and nutrition planning and wellness calls.
The Cared-4 program integrates the company’s Direct Link® monitoring services and medical alert systems. The state-of-the-art technology provides clients and their loved ones peace of mind, knowing they can get help with the press of a button.
“Home care is not one-size-fits-all,” Way said. “We developed this extensive program so that individuals are able to get the care that matches their needs. Cared-4 also provides greater flexibility to accommodate a wider range of family financial conditions.”
With over 330 locations across North America, Home Helpers Home Care is a leader in the home care industry, making it an attractive offer to those looking to break into the industry.
Franchisees of Home Helpers Home Care receive two years of world-class onboarding support and continued coaching beyond to ensure they’ll have the knowledge, tools and skills to cater to the diverse needs of their clientele. Additionally, franchisees learn how to hire, onboard and train exceptional caregivers to serve as the face of the business and make a genuine impact in the lives of the families they serve.
“At Home Helpers Home Care, we believe everyone deserves to age with dignity and independence,” said Way. “We’re not just in the business of providing care, we’re in the business of making a difference. We’re eager to continue to expand in new markets and build on the tremendous growth we’ve experienced so that we can continue to make real, tangible impacts in the lives of families everywhere.”
