Home Helpers® Home Care is a comprehensive, holistic care company that has been delivering quality in-home personal and companion care to seniors and others for over 27 years. That longevity has allowed the brand to evolve with the booming in-home care industry and aging population. It now has more than 300 franchisees in over 1,500 communities nationwide.
According to Bobby Kelley, assistant vice president of franchise development, a major differentiator for the brand is that it provides nonmedical in-home care to many demographics outside of seniors. The brand offers services to new parents, moms on bed rest and people recovering from accidents or elective surgeries, such as knee replacement, and other needs-driven events.
“We are able to be with anyone anywhere they call home,” Kelley said.
While seniors will likely always be the brand’s largest client base, the inclusion of care for almost any demographic provides franchise owners with scalability and multiple revenue streams.
“COVID opened a lot of doors,” explained Kelley.
The days of sitting in a facility are over because fewer people want congregate living, and hospitals and doctors’ offices are sending people home earlier than in the past.
“The idea of care now is becoming very relevant to every household,” Kelley said.
Home Helpers Home Care’s more than two decades of best practices, established tools, and world-class training and support have aligned to meet the changing care landscape. In 2020, the brand launched its proprietary Cared-4™ program, which consists of personal and companion care, meal planning and delivery, wellness checks and technology in the form of a personal telehealth response unit.
While nothing can replace the human touch, the brand’s Direct Link® technology puts clients a click away from help when they need it and bridges the gap for families when no one is there.
According to Kelley, Home Helpers Home Care seeks franchisees who have a “why,” that is driven by passion and who want to work for themselves and build a business. The brand’s support system is aligned to wherever franchisees are in their journey, including a comprehensive onboarding plan during the first two years.
“We’re going to be with you every step of the way,” Kelley said.
