Starting an encore career is an exciting way to find personal fulfillment and purpose later in life. For people looking for a meaningful next chapter, Senior Care Authority, the placement and eldercare consulting franchise, offers an opportunity that checks all the boxes.
“Our franchisees have always come from varied career backgrounds,” said Marcy Baskin, Senior Vice President of Franchise Support and Training. “There is a misconception that we look for franchise candidates with a background in the health care field; our owners bring a lifetime of relatable skill wisdom and insights to our business model.”
Paul Pasier, a franchise owner in Tampa, Florida, says the opportunity with Senior Care Authority stood out to him because it let him focus on helping others while building a stable, rewarding business. With a background in marketing, IT consulting and corporate roles, Pasier is no stranger to career transitions. He wanted something that combined his professional skills with his personal passion for making a difference — and Senior Care Authority delivered.
“The main reason I focused on senior care was that it met many of the criteria I was looking for, said Pasier. “I think we all want something that makes us happy, fulfills our inner desires and allows us to use our God-given talents. For me, that meant finding a business that was resilient during economic downturns, part of a growing and stable market and backed by a company with a strong reputation and proven processes. Senior Care Authority checked all those boxes. At this stage in my career, I wanted to focus on building meaningful relationships, and that’s exactly what Senior Care Authority emphasizes.”
One of the things that makes Senior Care Authority a great encore career choice is the training and support it provides. Franchisees don’t just learn how to run a business; they also earn the required certifications in senior care, learn a wide range of skills and most important they learn the path to helping families navigate senior care options with compassion, patience, and empathy. The training covers everything from understanding aging-related health issues to financial and government resources, to understanding difficult family dynamics, giving franchise owners tools to guide families with confidence.
“Senior Care Authority has an excellent training program unique to the company that covers both the business side of things and relationship building with assisted living and memory care communities, medical facilities and clients. The company has been doing this for a long time and provides clear guidance every step of the way,” said Pasier. “It’s incredibly thorough, and there’s always someone available to support you throughout the process.”
This is a relationship-driven business, not something that depends on heavy day-to-day operations. Franchise owners focus on building connections with health care providers, senior living communities and families to create a foundation for long-term success.
“At this stage in my career, I wanted to focus on building meaningful relationships, and that’s exactly what Senior Care Authority emphasizes,” said Pasier. “It’s about creating connections with medical facilities for recommendations, assisting with placements in assisted living and supporting the families and individuals we serve.”
For Pasier, the personal side of senior care makes the work so meaningful.
“I’ve experienced firsthand the challenges of navigating senior care with my own parents, from unexpected decisions like hospice placement to managing the unknowns during their illnesses,” said Pasier. “Senior Care Authority’s certification ensures we’re prepared to guide families through these moments, providing a clear roadmap and helping them plan ahead.”
If you’re thinking about an encore career, Senior Care Authority offers a chance to do work that matters while building a business you can be proud of. With its supportive training, growing market and focus on helping others, it’s an excellent choice for anyone looking to start their next chapter.
“More than anything, people need to assess what matters most to them,” said Pasier. “Senior Care Authority is a long-term opportunity — it starts slower than some franchises because it’s relationship-driven. Building strong connections takes time, but over the long run, it leads to steady, repeat business. It’s important to be honest with yourself about your goals, energy and financial investment. For me, I enjoy building lasting relationships, helping people and creating a business with long-term impact.”
