Aged care services are one of the fastest growing industries in America and some franchise businesses are taking advantage of this opportunity.
An ageing population, the prevalence of chronic disease and a need for costs effective healthcare are the major factors that are driving the growth and expansion of franchises that offer aged care services, in particular, in-home services.
According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, there are approximately 44.7 million elderly people, that is those 65 years or over, in the United States. This represents just over 14 percent of the population, or one in every in seven Americans.
What is significant about this statistic is that it is set to significantly increase over the next 25 years. The U.S. Administration on Ageing believes, by 2040, the elderly will represent 21.7 percent of the population.
Unfortunately, many cannot afford the costly fees of retirement homes and live-in aged care facilities. Therefore, staying in your own home as you age, is not only more financially attractive, the familiarity and comfort is something most people in this older age bracket actually desire.
Franchise expert, Derek Cafferata, from All State Franchise Finders, believes the ageing population offers attractive opportunities to entrepreneurs. “A successful, well respected in-home aged care franchise business offers huge potential for growth with little or no medical or healthcare experience necessary,” said Derek. “Choose a franchise opportunity like Always Best Care, and you can take advantage of their option to hand off staff management, leaving you to focus on growing your business and increasing your profits.”
In-home aged care services include anything from preparing meals or housekeeping, to grocery shopping, to assisting with personal hygiene needs. Always Best Care Senior Services are one of the leading senior care franchise systems in the United States. Having been around for almost 20 years, they have a nationwide network of 180 franchise offices. And they are continuing to see excellent growth.
One of the key aspects attracting entrepreneurs to Always Best Care Senior Services is their turn-key staff management option. Always Best Care recognized that hiring, scheduling and management of caregivers was the primary concern for franchise owners. Hence, they offer the opportunity for their franchisees to hand off staff management to a hand-picked team of professional and experienced managers. This service includes screening and hiring, 24 hour scheduling, as well as billing and payroll.
Aged care services are among the top franchising industries, behind fast-food restaurants and maintenance services. More and more aged care franchises are beginning to appear in Entrepreneurs Top 500 rankings. And Derek Cafferata is confident the prevalence success of these types of franchise businesses will only increase.
