Home Care Assistance - Senior Care Business
Franchise Opportunities
Why Home Care Assistance - Senior Care Business?
No dominant national brand. According to The Wall Street Journal, general awareness of the average franchised home care agency is less than 1%. This is the Home Care Assistance Franchise opportunity.
Unique concept. Home Care Assistance has a unique business concept. We target consumers who need 24 hour, 7 days a week, live-in home care. This under-served market segment consists of people who have chronic, low level health problems, but who are also quite capable of living at home, well into the future. They simply need additional support to live independently.
Distinctive brand identity. We are so committed to building brand equity as the 24/7 Live-In Specialists that we secured a nationwide phone number for consumers to call who need our service: 1-866-4-LiveIn. We trademarked a name for this service: In Home Assisted LivingTM, and we are the only company in the industry to offer an exclusive We Will Be ThereTM Guarantee.
Short time to profits. The advantages of focusing on 24 hour, 7 days a week live-in services are two fold. First, we provide a much needed service for seniors who wish to live independently and avoid moving into nursing homes. And second, the 24/7 live-in services generate greater revenues per client and hence a dramatic compression in time to profitability.
