When launching a senior care franchise from scratch, you need the right tools, knowledge, and support. That’s why Senior Helpers® has such a wonderful track record in the industry. We provide our franchisees with extensive training, constant support, and detailed guidance that helps them leverage their skills, work-ethic, and dedication into something truly special. Let’s take a look at what goes into setting up your Senior Helpers home care franchise from scratch. 

Training and Set Up

When it comes to building your new home care franchise from scratch, you don’t need to bring any precious experience to the table. In fact, we encourage forward-thinking people with a wide range of different backgrounds to take advantage of this opportunity. As long as you have a kind heart, a strong work ethic, and a desire to help others, you have what it takes to succeed in this industry! That’s because Senior Helpers provides a total of 115 hours of extensive training for every new franchisee! This includes an extensive online training program, as well as a 6-day program in our corporate headquarters in Towson, Maryland, where you’ll receive hands-on, in-person guidance that truly sets you up for success. 

Along with our extensive initial training, we also provide ongoing training support and educational resources for new franchise owners, including highly valuable one-on-one coaching from one of our experienced Franchise Operations Managers. The bottom line is that when you open your own Senior Helpers home care franchise, you’ll have all the support and knowledge you need to build a successful business.

Protected Areas

To further support the successful launch and sustained growth of your new franchise, we provide every home care franchisee with a protected service area. This includes a region of at least 30,000 seniors where other Senior Helpers franchises are not allowed to offer any services. 

Key Services

As part of our training, we’ll provide you with the knowledge and skills you need to meet the diverse needs of the senior community. We provide training that allows you to offer the following services:

  • Alzheimer’s and dementia care - We’ll provide you with the knowledge and skills to support local seniors with these memory-based afflictions. 
  • Companion care - This is our specialized care plan that helps seniors avoid feeling lonely or isolated. 
  • Personal care - You’ll learn to provide hands-on support for those with physical limitations. 
  • End-of-life care - Emotional and physical support to help seniors and their families through this impossibly difficult time. 
  • Transition care - Dedicated care to help seniors return home from the hospital and avoid readmission. 
  • And much more!

Bringing the Right Traits

When launching a Senior Helpers home care franchise from scratch, you’ll get all the outside support you need to succeed in this industry. While you don’t need any specific training or experience prior to starting this journey, you do need to bring the right personality traits to the role. 

Senior Helpers has built our trusted brand on traits like kindness, compassion, and empathy. We are looking for the right motivated individuals who can bring these traits to their own individual home care franchise.
