We provide all the training you need – and you can run the business by yourself if you wish. No need to hire anyone else, pay them a salary, and jump through the hoops that come with having and managing employees.

As a sole proprietor, you’ll work from home, in the field, and visit clients frequently. Building relationships will be a core aspect of your business, working closely with three main groups:

  1. Senior living communities: This includes assisted living facilities, memory care facilities, independent living facilities, skilled nursing facilities, residential care homes, and more.
  2. Professional referral sources: This includes professionals who work with seniors and their families, such as social workers, hospital discharge planners, eldercare attorneys, in-home care companies, and others who interact with seniors and can recommend your services to send clients your way. We continually secure national partnerships to support your networking efforts.
  3. Seniors and their adult children: This is the constituency that you will work with most frequently. Because this is a reactive business, families typically take action after an injury or illness to their family member, and many don’t know where to begin. They’ll turn to you as their trusted expert.

As the number of seniors in the country grows faster than other population segments, the growth in the industry is staggering. Currently, it can barely meet demand, and growth is only expected to accelerate over the next decades as more Baby Boomers and Gen Xers require assistance.

Do you want a career that you’ll feel good about when you’re lying in bed at night? In the end, that’s what it’s all about for many people. This is a franchise business where you will have opportunities to make real, positive impacts on people’s lives, and the amount of good you do is limited only by the number of clients you decide to take on.

This franchise ownership opportunity is also rewarding in the financial sense. We give you everything you need to grow your business, client list, and revenue streams, allowing you to take control of your financial future and chase down your dreams.

In addition to demand, eldercare is an essential service in many cases. As with childcare, families with two working adults don’t have the time to take care of aging family members by themselves. In other words, they can’t afford not to have dependable care. This means that in challenging economic times, such as recessions, the eldercare and senior living industries are more resilient than most.

Through continued education and training, you’ll learn additional ways to make an impact – and a living. We’ll help you expand your service offering with high-demand revenue-generating consulting services, including:

  • Advocacy Services
  • Placement Assistance
  • Our EXCLUSIVE Eldercare Consulting Program
  • Beyond Driving with Dignity
  • EASE (Employee Assistance Solutions for Eldercare)

With multiple revenue streams, comprehensive training, proprietary technology, a full marketing support program, and ongoing mentoring for the life of your franchise, there’s no shortage of satisfying and lucrative work for you.

You’ll also get your own protected territory, ensuring your business has ample space to grow and thrive.
