Things to Know Before Franchising in Home Care
Do you have a passion for serving others? Do you seek a job that lets you make your own schedule and offers personal fulfillment? If you answered yes to either of these questions, consider starting a home care business. Owning a home care franchise allows entrepreneurs like yourself to work autonomously in a job that supports and makes a difference in their community. HomeWell Care Services will teach you how to start a home care franchise and what you need to know before becoming a home care franchise owner.
Why Start a Home Care Franchise?
Starting a home care agency can be a lucrative, rewarding business opportunity. By the year 2034, there will be more adults over the age of 65 than children in the United States. These older adults have almost a 70% chance of needing long-term care services at some point in their life.
Many older adults wish to age gracefully and on their terms. Others might feel social isolation from living alone. Home care services are the answer to both of these needs and more. Home care allows older adults to receive the care they need wherever they call home, from their house to an assisted or independent living facility. A compassionate caregiver can also be a companion who spends time with older adults daily.
As a HomeWell Care Services franchise, your team can provide the in-home care services older adults need to thrive at home, including:
- Basic care, including assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs), care coordination, meal preparation and light housekeeping.
- Companion care, including basic housekeeping services and companionship activities.
- Specialty care, including memory care services for those with Alzheimer’s and dementia.
Your home care business allows you to pursue a personally fulfilling career by helping others. You can also connect to and support your community through home care.
Do You Need a Health Care Background?
Many successful HomeWell franchise owners don’t have a health care background. Our franchise support team teaches you the ins and outs of the home care industry. We also provide the comprehensive resources and business coaching you need to be prepared to launch your business.
There are several personal qualities that many of our franchise owners display. Successful franchise owners must also have the following soft skills:
- Excellent communication: A franchise owner imparts their knowledge and resources to their team clearly so the home care franchise can operate efficiently.
- Flexibility: Some franchise management aspects will be unpredictable or won’t follow your plans. Flexibility helps you adapt to these changes and move forward.
- Time management: Our franchise owners must be able to manage their time to effectively plan, organize and set goals for business objectives and systems.
- Critical thinking: A franchise owner must be a critical thinker, able to process a lot of information at once and make logical decisions based on this input.
- Trustworthiness: Our franchise owners build trust with their team and community by being honest, respectful and reliable in all they do.
- Delegation: A franchise owner recognizes their team members’ skills and delegates tasks to them to make sure everything gets done.
- Compassionate: Our franchise owners empathize with what their clients are going through and do what they can to provide a positive care experience.
- Community-oriented: Our franchise owners are engrained in and care about their communities. They see their home care franchise as a way to help community members live longer and healthier lives wherever they call home.
- Willing to learn: A franchise owner is ready to learn all they can about the home care industry, leadership and business ownership and encourage their team to grow and learn, too.
