With over 27 years of experience, Home Helpers® Home Care is a seasoned leader in the home care industry. Founded in 1997, the franchise model has demonstrated remarkable success, producing record-breaking, system-wide sales growth year over year.
“We have franchisees that are from all different backgrounds, everything from the banking industry to stay-at-home fathers and mothers who don’t have a lot of business experience, but they had the goal of owning their own business,” said Senior Director of Brand Marketing Nick Way. “I think that it really comes down to focus, attitude, discipline and believing in yourself.”
Home Helpers Home Care is a compelling franchise opportunity that enables franchisees to make a meaningful impact within their community and support those in need of care. Way shared that many franchisees have encountered home care in their own lives, whether it’s for an aging parent or even for a convalescing family member. Understanding the challenges families face in securing appropriate care for their loved ones can inspire individuals to become part of the solution.
Those thinking of entering the home care industry can be confident in its stability, as it is an in-demand, need-based sector, unaffected by fads or economic tides. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the demand for home care increased because many families wanted to keep their loved ones safe at home rather than in larger care facilities. In fact, Home Helpers Home Care continued to grow throughout the pandemic.
While finding high-quality in-home care often seems like a burden, Home Helpers Home Care removes the stress from the process. Also, by having a home care professional take on the work, families can avoid the strain on relationships that often comes with caring for a loved one.
“I always say we let families stay families, and that’s so important,” said Way. “You’re really affecting people’s lives in a very positive way, both from the standpoint of the care you’re providing to the individual but also allowing the family members to stay family members.”
A key component of Home Helpers Home Care’s success over the years has been its eye toward innovation, not only within the company but also in the industry. The company’s Direct Link® technology provides loved ones flexibility and peace of mind while creating a care plan that works for them.
There are times when 24-hour care is not feasible or needed for clients, and the brand’s Direct Link technology provides an affordable way to fill that gap with an online system for loved ones to schedule check-ins or provide a meal plan that will fulfill their family member’s nutritional needs.
“You can say with confidence that technology is here to stay,” said Way. “At Home Helpers Home Care, we will always be looking at how to responsibly use and leverage technology to supplement care as an option for families to help keep their loved one in the home.”
