4 Advantages of Being a Home Care Franchise Owner

Deciding to own a business isn’t easy, but it’s gratifying. The ability to make decisions, be your own boss, write your own story—it’s inspiring! Further, becoming a home care franchise owner means you’ve committed to changing the lives of others and assisting families during challenging transitions.

Undertaking that kind of responsibility requires deep thought. Fortunately, we can help make the decision a bit easier with four advantages of being a home care franchise owner.

1. Franchise Owners Are Set Up for Success

The Administration for Community Living estimates 70% of adults turning age 65 or older will, at some point, need long-term-care services. As a franchise owner, that statistic bodes well for our industry, telling us that it’s thriving. This makes the need for home care services essential. Additionally, we set up our franchise owners for success with training programs and modern tools

Homewatch CareGivers franchise owners are immersed in a 52-week, step-by-step business implementation program to accelerate their introduction into the market and provide subject matter expert guidance. This online platform presents several hundred crucial path items to help franchise owners launch effectively and prioritize pre-training activities by week through the first year of business.

2. When the Brand is Successful, Franchise Owners Experience Growth

With brand growth comes continued success. For instance, in 2020, Homewatch CareGivers added 37 new franchise locations that included 21 new franchise owners joining our network. This allowed 12 of our existing franchise owners to expand their services into new areas. We also had new offices open in Arizona, Colorado, Maryland, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Texas, and more.

Not only did this allow us to experience a growth milestone, but it also helped us become the first runner-up for most units sold annually by the Franchise Broker Association. This ranking is based on the top-selling brands among the 300+ franchisors within the Franchise Broker Association system. Without the constant and consistent growth of our franchisees, we wouldn’t experience as much success as we have—and vice versa.

3. An Established Brand Name Means Being Rooted in a Healthy Foundation

When you decide to become a franchise owner, joining a well-known and esteemed brand name can bring several benefits of its own, including existing brand awareness and loyalty nationally and in local markets where other established owners have built a longstanding reputation for quality caregiving services. As a highly respected franchise network, Homewatch CareGivers franchise owners have access to tried and true, state-of-the-art training programs, marketing strategies, and hiring tools.

Specifically, we equip our franchise owners with the following:

• Data-driven and customized business tools to gauge your growth and success
• Diagnostic analysis that helps owners focus on business priorities and spot opportunities
• Personalized intranet to access tools and resources for business growth

These tools and capabilities help plant our franchise owners into the already established foundation we’ve built over decades in the home care industry.

4. An Extensive Support System & Robust Training

When entrepreneurs pursue a franchise business in the home care industry, they are almost always supported by a strong network. This backing is also crucial to a successful first year and beyond. Any respected home care franchise network should be invested in developing franchisees into seasoned business owners. Homewatch CareGivers provides franchise owners with training and support programs that get them started and help improve and differentiate them from competitors.

Our massive support network provides franchisees with:

• Lifetime training guarantees for all franchisees and their employees
