When Emma Dickison was in the fifth grade, her grandmother suffered a stroke and needed comprehensive care. It was an adjustment for her entire family, who balanced work, life and those medical needs, but they were able to maintain her health in a home-based setting for more than 18 years. It was an experience that shaped Dickison’s view of what home health care should be. By Jessica Petrucelli
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — In recognition of July as Social Wellness Month, Executive Home Care, is highlighting the critical role that social connection and personalized in-home care play in helping seniors maintain their independence and overall well-being.
Nearly 90% of adults over age 65 want to remain in their homes as they age, according to AARP. Executive Home Care, part of Evive Brands, meets this growing need with a range of non-medical services that empower seniors to live safely and comfortably at home. From assistance with bathing and meals to companionship and transportation, caregivers provide support that enables aging adults to remain independent longer.
“Our goal is to help seniors live life on their own terms,” said Jeanette Weinz, Brand Leader of Executive Home Care. “We understand that independence means more than staying at home—it means feeling secure, respected, and connected to the world around you.”
Executive Home Care’s services go beyond physical support. As part of its commitment to social wellness, the company encourages meaningful engagement through companionship and activities that reduce isolation and promote emotional health. Studies have shown that social connection in later life can lead to improved cognitive function and lower rates of depression.
“July is Social Wellness Month, which reminds us how important human connection is—especially for seniors,” said Weinz. “Whether it’s a shared story, a walk outside, or time spent doing something they enjoy, our caregivers help clients stay socially engaged and emotionally supported.”
With customized care plans and a compassionate approach, Executive Home Care gives families peace of mind while preserving the dignity and lifestyle of their loved ones. As the senior population in the U.S. is expected to exceed 80 million by 2040, the demand for trusted, high-quality in-home care will only grow.

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — As the nation marks Social Wellness Month this July, Executive Home Care is inviting purpose-driven entrepreneurs to open new franchise locations and help older adults stay independent, engaged, and connected at home.
Demand is surging. Fortune Business Insights cites that the U.S. home-healthcare services market is projected to climb from $107 billion in 2025 to $176 billion by 2032, a 7.4 percent CAGR. At the same time, the senior population will swell to nearly 78 million people age 65 and older by 2040. With 90 percent of adults preferring to age in place, according to AARP, in-home care that also nurtures social connection is no longer a luxury—it’s an essential service.
Executive Home Care equips franchise owners with a comprehensive business model that generates multiple revenue streams—including hourly and live-in care, respite services, Veterans Affairs programs, and long-term-care insurance billing. A proprietary caregiver-recruitment engine, real-time family portal, and dedicated business-coaching program streamline start-up and accelerate growth.
“Opening an Executive Home Care franchise is more than a smart investment; it’s a chance to champion seniors’ independence and social wellness every single day,” said Jeanette Weinz, Brand Leader of Executive Home Care. “Our proven training, ongoing field support, and purpose-driven culture empower owners to build profitable businesses that make a genuine difference in their communities.”

Franchisees also benefit from peer mentoring groups and data-driven performance dashboards that help keep operations on track.
Qualified candidates—typically professionals with management experience, strong interpersonal skills, and a passion for service—can tap into protected territories available in major metropolitan areas and mid-sized markets nationwide.

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — As the nation celebrates Independence Day, Assisted Living Locators is inviting purpose-driven professionals to declare their own financial freedom by joining a home-based franchise that meets the surging needs of America’s rapidly aging population.
Founded in 2003 and now operating in more than 150 U.S. markets, Assisted Living Locators, a member of Evive Brands, pairs families with the right senior-living or in-home care solutions at no cost to the consumer.

“July is about independence, and that extends beyond fireworks,” said Felicia Sanders, Brand President/Leader of Assisted Living Locators. “Our franchisees trade the nine-to-five grind for a business that delivers both personal autonomy and meaningful community impact. They build profitable enterprises while guiding families through one of life’s most important decisions.”
The concept’s scalable, work-from-home footprint keeps initial investment under $100,000, making Assisted Living Locators accessible to mid-career professionals seeking control over their schedules without heavy overhead.

I also feel like every day I’m making a difference,” Jackson said.
“By expanding our franchise network, we magnify the reach of our no-cost advisory service and help more families make safe, informed choices,” Sanders added. “It’s independence with a purpose—exactly what July represents.”

Beta testing begins for proprietary value-based care model driven by advisor insights
TROY, Mich. — CarePatrol, a leading senior care solutions franchise with more than 200 locations open across 40 states and Canada, is advancing its proprietary AlignedCare™ Value-Based Care (VBC) Certification Program with the selection of its first Ambassador team. The select group of experienced advisors will act as early adopters, leading beta testing and shaping the future for value-based care integration within senior care advisory services.
The AlignedCare Program represents a transformative step in how care solutions are guided and recommended. Advisors who complete the certification will be qualified to support families using an evidence-informed model based on outcomes, social determinants of health, and care collaboration. Built on value-based care principles informed by the 8 Dimensions of Wellness, the program enables higher levels of client precision and personalization, while also expanding value-based care partnership networks.
“We believe the best outcomes come from truly understanding each client’s needs and working collaboratively across the care continuum,” said Wendy Harris, CarePatrol of Greater Mobile and Northwest Florida, Owner, Certified Senior Advisor (CSA)® and Program Ambassador. “That’s what value-based care means to us—putting people first, always.”
Throughout the beta phase, AlignedCare Ambassadors will be applying the model within their current practices and providing critical feedback on assessment tools, strategic workflows, and outcomes tracking. Insights provided and gained during this phase will assist in system-wide implementation.
“We’re thrilled with the early momentum of the AlignedCare Program and the enthusiasm from our Ambassador team,” said Becky Bongiovanni, co-founder and brand president of CarePatrol. “Our advisors are stepping into a leadership role that goes far beyond traditional care advisory. By aligning every recommendation with value-based care principles, we are building a more complete, measurable, and compassionate model for senior care.”
The current Ambassador team of CarePatrol advisors includes: Heather Ashby, Jenn Gomer, Gina Gordon, Wendy Harris, Ashley O’Sullivan, Lacie Petsch, Nicholas Wake, and Julie Whitbeck-Lewinski.
Each AlignedCare Ambassador plays a vital role in strengthening CarePatrol’s mission to strengthen senior care advisory services through professional development, collaboration, and meaningful community impact.

Assisted Living Locators Encourages Families to Start Senior Care Conversations Early
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — In honor of Older Americans Month this May, Assisted Living Locators, a nationwide leader in senior care placement, is encouraging families to take proactive steps in planning for their loved ones’ future care needs. With 10,000 Americans turning 65 every day, early preparation is critical to ensuring seniors receive the best possible care in a setting that meets their needs and preferences.
According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, nearly 70% of Americans over 65 will require long-term care at some point in their lives. Despite this growing need, many families delay critical conversations about senior care until a crisis occurs, limiting options and increasing stress.
“Older Americans Month serves as a powerful reminder that planning ahead for senior care is not just beneficial—it’s essential,” said Felicia Sanders, Brand Leader/President of Assisted Living Locators. “By starting these discussions early, families can make informed decisions about care options and find solutions that align with their loved ones’ unique needs and financial situations.”
Assisted Living Locators provides a personalized, no-cost service to help families navigate the often-complex world of senior care. With expert local advisors in over 30 states, the company offers guidance on in-home care, independent living, assisted living, and memory care. Each advisor takes the time to assess seniors’ medical, emotional, and financial needs to match them with the best care options available.
“The earlier families begin planning, the more choices they have,” Sanders added. “Our advisors work one-on-one with families, ensuring they have access to the right resources and support at every stage of the aging journey.”
For those unsure where to start, Assisted Living Locators offers a free consultation to help families assess their loved ones’ needs and explore care options. To learn more, visit www.assistedlivinglocators.com or call (877) 266-7788 to connect with a local senior care expert.
