Why choose a live-in home care franchise? Home Care Assistance specializes in live-in, around-the-clock care that results in more lucrative client cases for the franchisee. Its average weekly client billings are nearly four times higher than the industry average, meaning it takes fewer clients and a smaller organization to build a lucrative business.

Customers immediately – the baby boom generation now makes senior citizens—and the pre-seniors who care for them—the fastest growing population of the decade.

A much-needed service – the senior care industry continues to provide a valuable service to an under-served market. Tapping unprecedented wealth – Having secured tremendous gains in real estate ownership and retirement investments, seniors are the most affluent generation in history.

Low overhead – your caregivers provide services in the client’s own home, you can employ hundreds of people—paid only for the hours they work.

Why Successful Entrepreneurs Chose Home Care Assistance!

Lee and Matt Nyberg evaluated senior care franchises in 2010 and opened the first Lincoln Nebraska Home Care Assistance franchise in 2011. In less than a year, the Nyberg’s senior home care business grew exponentially and decided to open a second location in Nebraska. Here’s why: Home Care Assistance stands above and beyond the senior home care competition, their approach is holistic; healthy body, mind, and spirit. The caregivers are trained in helping older adults develop good nutritional habits and plans, as well as fostering a sense of purpose and providing stimulation – not just sitting a loved one in front of a television set, contributing nothing to the overall well-being of that person.. Nyberg adds, “We don’t come at it from the standpoint of our clients coming to us in a crisis, but as a lifestyle choice”.

Alan and Alistair Young are owners of Home Care Assistance in Fort Worth, Texas. “Taking caring οf a loved one іѕ both delightful and stressful. Aѕ tһе primary caregiver fοr mу mom wһο still lives in her home, we feel these emotions еνеrу day. Thіѕ іѕ why we’re committed tο the company’s goal οf changing how seniors age. Wе wish tο mаkе a difference,” ѕаіd Alistair Young. The Youngs found that 89% οf seniors prefer tο live in the comfort οf their own home, according tο a study conducted bу AARP. There is a huge need fοr live-in care in Fort Worth and the Youngs want tο safeguard those with a need for caregiving services.

Andy Grimm, a former marketing, business development and product development executive for a major health insurer, opened a Home Care Assistance franchise in Richmond VA. Grimm knew there was a big opportunity in the business of providing home-based care assistance to seniors because that industry was expected to swell dramatically in coming years. When asked if Grimm was concerned about starting a business during the current economic climate, he said, “Recessions are opportunities and times when things change, so succeeding is about adjusting to new industries.” He opened a franchise in April 2010. The firm reached $1 million in revenue after just 15 months.

The keys to a good franchise are:

1. Brand – this is one of the key considerations why entrepreneurs invest in one franchise over another. The brand is really important because your customers have something to rely on.  It guarantees they know what to expect from you, giving the reassurance they need and make it easier for them to buy your service.

2. Support – ongoing support can be one of the most important factors in a franchise service. As an entrepreneur, you must think through all the factors of support  before investing in a senior care franchise organization. These factors include: training, financing assistance, real estate location assistance and ongoing product development and support. Without these, your franchise business will not go far.

3. The franchisor’s experience -the number of years a franchisor has been in business is a very good indicator of whether the franchise is a good one or not.

Home Care Assistance is the best live-in senior care franchise and here’s why other entrepreneurs chose us:

1. Home Care Assistance offers the most strategic business model in the industry to entrepreneurs seeking to partner with North America’s dominant brand in home care.

2. We provide exceptional brand awareness and a steady flow of qualified leads.

Due to the overwhelming response and need for Home Care Assistance’s science-based approach to healthy living for older adults, the proprietary “Balanced Care Method“, the Nybergs are planning to open a second location in Omaha within the next few months.

“We don’t just manage a condition and do the bare minimum,” Nyberg said of the company’s approach to live-in and hourly home care. Nyberg said the company has a goal of “changing the way the world ages,” and that philosophy is what proved to be a draw for Nyberg and his wife, Lee Nyberg, as they sought franchise locations to operate.

Coming from the a long career in sales and marketing, the Nybergs did not want to start a small business from scratch. They found Home Care Assistance and discovered the franchise had something different to offer in the industry, unlike other senior care franchise firms.

What makes Home Care Assistance stand above and beyond is their holistic approach. Nyberg adds, “We don’t come at it from the standpoint of our clients coming to us in a crisis, but as a lifestyle choice”.

The caregivers at Home care Assistance focuses on healthy body, mind, and spirit. The caregivers are trained in helping older adults develop good nutritional habits and plans, as well as fostering a sense of purpose and providing stimulation – not just sitting a loved one in front of a television set, contributing nothing to the overall well-being of that person.

The Nyberg’s love the senior care industry because Lee Nyberg’s parents needed assistance. Lee’s parents were determined to remain in their home, and out of helping her parents, Lee Nyberg found the senior care industry. As they continued to research a variety of industries, the Nyberg’s felt Home Care Assistance was akin to the wellness program found in their previous careers.

The Nyberg’s plan to open another location in Nebraska is the answer to the needed services in rural Nebraska. Read the full story: Home Care Assistance Debuts in Lincoln market, Plans Second Nebraska Location.

The company began franchising in 2005 and today has more than 60 locations in the United States, Canada and Puerto Rico, with plans to double in size within three years.

Unlike others in the growing, ultra-competitive non-medical home care industry, Home Care Assistance specializes in live-in, around-the-clock care that results in more lucrative client cases for the franchisee. Its average weekly client billings are nearly four times higher than the industry average, meaning it takes fewer clients and a smaller organization to build a lucrative business.

When drafting a new plan or restructuring it, think carefully about the business and marketing strategy. You will save time and maximize your effort generating revenue.

First, determine if your objectives are realistic; what are the chances that they will be achieved? Here are common elements that most business plans include. This helps give you a place to start:

Decide on the Business Objectives

Go to a place where you won’t be disturbed. Turn off your phone. Think forward to 2017 and ask yourself:

Where do I want to be? Do you still want to be in charge? Has the business increased in revenue and size? If so, how much? Will you have sold and cashed out?

Write what you see; letting the mind explore options. You can write in an essay or a letter written in the future, describing all you have accomplished. You must take time to know where you are, where you are going and where you want to be in the future. If you are not clear, the business will have a life of it’s own.

If you need help with starting your senior care business, Home Care Assistance is prepared to help you. We’ve spent valuable time and energy building what we believe is the best service model in the industry. We have all the key answers and processes in place to make your business a success.

Starting off the year with new business goals after the holidays can be a challenge to any small business owner because most of us enter the New Year feeling utterly exhausted and go back to work with a post-holiday hangover.

Dulye reminds us “That’s not exactly the ideal mental or physical state for re-engaging employees when they return to work in January. That’s why it’s so important to make the time and have a game plan to get your team back on track and restore the momentum you had before the holiday frenzy.” Business owners need to move quickly – everyone needs a little ramp-up time after a few days away from the office, but in this economic climate, losing ground can mean losing your edge.

So make sure you use January to get team members into the groove of seeing and seizing 2012 goals. Here are five ways to get your team moving:

Visualize success. What does it look like? Pictures speak louder than words so bring the team together to review and discuss your 2012 goals. As part of the conversation, ask them what they see when factoring all of those goals together. What does success look like? Give them a few minutes to draw the first image that comes to mind.

Create a graphic icon. The image that emerges from Step 1 should become part of your team’s identity. So brand it with the help of a graphic artist, either in-house or external. consider hiring a college intern who is talented and comes with a lower price tag. Then prominently feature the graphic icon in communications with the team, including memos, emails and PowerPoint presentations. Make the brand icon synonymous with your team.

Sort priorities. Create a simple chart that captures, by quarter, quick hits and longer term actions that deliver to the 2012 goals. Quick hits represent the low-hanging fruit that don’t require extensive resources or realignment to achieve.

Post your chart. Make it part of the workplace wallpaper—on desktop and PDA screen savers and the walls of office cubicles. Remember how well this worked in sports locker rooms? It kept players focused and motivated. That same effect can be achieved within the workplace by using visuals.

Chart momentum. Finally, on a monthly basis, identify the home runs, hits, strikeouts and changes to your 2012 game plan. Don’t keep people in the dark wondering about the performance and progress of themselves, individually, or the team as a whole.

Try these tactics and see how they work to get your team motivated for 2012! Read more tactics to jump start your 2012 business goals.

Once making the decision that investing in a franchise is right for you and now is the perfect time, take a look at why a senior care franchise may be too hard to pass up. But before settling in on one franchise opportunity, let’s determine which one might fit you best.

Take a close look at your interests:

• Make sure you have a passion for the industry since you will be spending a lot of time in it. A high level interest must exist before investing.

• Take a look at your hobbies or interests that are outside your current career and find a franchise that matches this outside interest.

If you have a passion for helping older adults in your community to maintain a good quality of life, then a senior care franchise is right for you.

Home Care Assistance recommends the following skill set to successfully run an in-home care senior business:

1. Having a medical background is not required. Most successful franchisees come to us with more established credentials in the business world like technology firms, banking and advertising agencies.

2. The dedication to run a successful business that provides exceptional service.

Home Care Assistance can provide you with an excellent opportunity to make an extraordinary living, but you must be willing to put in the time and effort. You also need to have a passion for helping others.

What are your goals? Being a franchisee, think carefully about the goals you have for your business.

Do you want a reasonably safe, predictable income stream?

Do you want to grow aggressively and achieve significant wealth?

Do you intend to work this venture for 1, 5, or 20 years?

Be very specific and concrete about your income goals, especially for the first 2 to 3 years.

How much are you ready and willing to work in the business?

Do you envision eventually selling the business, or do you plan to keep it in the family?

Asking yourself these kinds of questions beforehand will help you in the franchise selection process.

Now that you are at the final step in narrowing the search to pick a sector, call Jack Johnson, VP of Franchising for Home Care Assistance at 702-204-1436 to see if owning a senior care franchise is a best fit. Our franchise team has the key answers and processes in place to help you make your business a success.

Why a home care business? Grimm knew there was a big opportunity in the business of providing home-based care assistance to seniors because that industry was expected to swell dramatically in coming years. When asked if Grimm was concerned about starting a business during the current economic climate, he said, “Recessions are opportunities and times when things change, so succeeding is about adjusting to new industries.”

He opened a franchise of Home Care Assistance in April 2010. The firm reached $1 million in revenue after just 15 months.

Grimm’s background of working with long-term care insurance products gave him the insights into what seniors want when they need extra help around the house.

After some due diligence, Grimm found that a Home Care Assistance franchise meets the criteria he was looking for in providing non-medical care; ranging from cooking and cleaning to transportation for medical appointments.

“I’m big on focusing and doing one thing well,” Grimm said. “What we do is an in-home alternative to nursing homes or assisted living.”

Unlike many senior home care business models, Home Care Assistance focuses on live-in, full-time providers. When families call seeking a relatively low level of assistance, Grimm often recommends other alternatives that specialize in providing help for a few hours a day.

“The generation of people living into their 90s and even the 100s, those people need one-on-one care in a lot of cases,” Grimm said. “Facilities mean shared caregivers.”

And Grimm knows that his generation, the Baby Boomers, is going to want customization and specialization when it needs extra help.

“They can get that with staying at home,” he said. “This allows more control and customization. People don’t want to leave their home, the place where their memories are and where their possessions are.”

Having a live-in caregiver allows for deeper bonds and relationships, Grimm said. And since Home Care Assistance was founded by a pair of geriatric psychologists, a big focus of all plans is establishing balanced care that addresses both mental and physical needs.

Grimm’s biggest surprise when starting his Home Care Assistance Franchise, “I didn’t realize how personally rewarding it would be,” he said.

This booming population gives rise to the concerns of how these older Americans plan to live out their golden years. For the majority, this generation chooses to remain independent and at home. With the help of in-home care services like Home Care Assistance, it’s easier than ever for older adults to remain in their own homes for life.

Even in situations where a person needs round the clock care, Home Care Assistance provides compassionate caregivers who are highly qualified and trained to assist when family members live far away and frailty, chronic illness or forgetfulness set in. Our in-home care services ensure that seniors do not have to move out of their home into a facility – instead, we enable them to stay in their home safely while maintaining their quality of life.

Lori Wegand, owner of the Columbus branch of Home Care Assistance, says home care is flexible and can be offered from one to two hours a week or more, depending on the needs of the older adult. The biggest benefit of in-home care; it offers seniors a good option to remain in familiar surroundings. Wegand adds, “We allow them to stay in their home safely. They may be interdependent on the caregivers, but they are still making their own decisions about what to do when, and how to spend their days. We find that people who stay in their homes tend to thrive, because they are able to focus their energies on activities they enjoy”.

A recent study by AARP confirms that ninety-three percent of the senior population want to remain at home in their comfort zone.

Home Care Assistance helps alleviate the concern of isolation for the seniors living at home. Our highly qualified caregivers help get them involved in the surrounding city senior recreation centers, and provide transportation to these and other activities for social interaction.

When you get involved in a Home Care Assistance franchise, the in-home care services you offer go beyond helping local seniors stay home, you become part of their family. Call Jack Johnson, V.P. of Franchising 702-204-1436 to learn how you can get involved.

In the book, Sullivan encourages us to know the major contributing factors of business failure. Below we’ve put together a summary along with a link to the full article. Sullivan adds, “Don’t put your head in the sand on this issue. Starting a business is tough and it is very important that you determine early on if you have the “right stuff.” Better you find out now what qualities you may need to strengthen rather than finding out after it is too late.”

The Entrepreneurial Aptitude Test (Summary)

1. Are you a leader? It is hard to “define” a leader, but it is easy to know one when you see one. To be a good leader you must focus your energy.

2. Are you a “high energy” person? Starting and running a business requires considerable energy and the ability to focus on your objectives.

3. Are you self-confident? You must believe in what you are doing. Get involved in something you are GOOD at doing.

4. Are you organized? You need to be organized in order to make good use of your time.

5. Are you competitive? From day one on, you and your business will be in competition. A competitive spirit is almost mandatory.

6. Are you prepared to work long hours? There’s an old joke that says an entrepreneur only works half time … 12 hours a day. The fact is, 12 hours a day might be a little light.

7. Do you have adequate resources? Have you thought out what kind of monetary investment will be required? Lack of resources is one of the major causes of failure.

8. Are you in good health? You’re likely to be working hard, long hours and you need to be in good shape.

9. Do you have a unique service and/or product to offer? Your product or service must be unique in the sense of providing better service, better support, or a new approach.

10. Is your family on board with your ideas? Will you have the support of your significant other? Trouble at home is the last thing you need when starting a business.

11. Are you willing to make short term sacrifices in return for long term success? This may be obvious but think it through just the same.

12. Are you a risk taker? You need to be! Starting a business can be a big risk.

13. Are you a good communicator? Strong writing and speaking skills are essential to selling your product or service and yourself.

1. Will I be good at doing this? Just because you love the products or services that the business offers, doesn’t mean that you will be able to successfully operate it once it’s launched. Being emotionally attached to a business idea is not the best way to evaluate an opportunity. First and foremost, do you care about people in your local community? Being motivated to help people must be at your core. At Home Care Assistance, we cover all aspects of the business from selecting the right retail location, creating buzz for your opening, screening and hiring caregivers, attracting clients and achieving, as well as sustaining, brand dominance in your marketplace. We can’t alter what drives you and make you care about people though. It’s the primary ingredient in being successful in a business, especially the senior care industry.

2. Can I make enough money? We strongly advise prospective business owners to be realistic. If it’s important to you to make a lot of money in the first year, then you need to evaluate whether owning a small business is right for you. The first several years requires dedication and hard work. Money is secondary. What Home Care Assistance can promise you though is a proven market development and branding strategy. More important, we do not place an artificial cap on potential earnings.

3. Will the business excite me? Think long and hard on this question. In a nutshell, Home Care Assistance helps seniors live well at home by providing compassionate caregivers who are highly qualified, bonded and insured. We know that nine out of ten seniors would prefer to remain in their home and age independently, over living in a nursing facility. Home Care Assistance helps seniors live out their older years with dignity, independence, and comfort. If you are excited and driven to provide seniors in your community with options to stay in their home safely while maintaining their quality of life, then you will have what it takes to make a home care business a winner for you and your family.

So, if you answer “yes” to these questions, call Jack Johnson, V.P. of Franchising, at 702-204-1436.
