One of your main motivations for becoming a business owner is that you want to be your own boss. However, you know that making the leap from employee to employer comes with a number of risks. This is especially the case if you are entering a new, highly competitive industry. One way to be your own boss without having to go it alone is to become a franchisee. When you own a Senior Helpers home care franchise, you can enjoy significant support with business operations while still maintaining a high level of autonomy.
Learn more about the many ways we help our franchisees enjoy the journey of business ownership below.
We Help You Get Started on the Right Foot
The support we offer begins with your very first point of contact with us. When you reach out to Senior Helpers to learn more about becoming a franchisee, we’ll get you started on our streamlined, step-by-step path to business ownership.
It all starts with an introductory conversation in which we’ll ask about your personal goals and feel out whether you could be the right fit for our home care franchise. Should you choose to continue with this process, you can then take part in detailed webinars, participate in an interview with our CEO, and, following approval, attend Meet the Team Day.
We will also encourage you to speak with existing Senior Helpers home care franchise owners. This opportunity to hear directly from current members of our franchise family will enable you to know what to expect as a franchisee. You can ask crucial questions about what it has been like for these individuals to be their own boss and benefit from a sense of independence while enjoying the backing of the Senior Helpers Support Center.
Additionally, we will help you get started on the right foot through in-depth training. Following the signing of your franchise agreement, you will undergo 55 hours of online training and 60 hours of classroom training to ensure you have a rock-solid foundation of senior care expertise and can hit the ground running when you open your business. This means that even if you are totally new to the industry, we’ll help you become the expert you need to be in order to enjoy success from the get-go.
We Give You the Tools to Home Care Franchise Success
Unlike many other home care franchisors, we won’t simply send you on your way after you have graduated from our initial training program. You will continue benefiting from our expertise even after your grand opening. For example, you’ll have the advantage of being able to offer services that fill specific niches in the senior care market, such as our Senior Gems™ program and Parkinson’s Care program. Furthermore, you can implement our innovative Life Profile™ assessment tool as a data-driven resource.
We’ll also help you succeed in other areas of business operations, such as caregiver recruitment and marketing. When it comes to caregiver recruitment, you’ll have a clear advantage thanks to our brand’s ranking as one of the Best Workplaces by the Great Place to Work Institute. Plus, we simplify the recruitment process for our franchisees using the Hireology application tracking system and conduct lead generation and job posting.
As for marketing, we take the time to make sure each franchisee can hit the ground running by working with them to create an “Off to the Races” plan tailored to the local market. We also post blogs, maintain Google My Business Listings, and do social media marketing so that franchisees can keep their focus on the big picture of delivering high-quality senior care services.
We Stay By Your Side
In addition to the above forms of support, you can count on us being by your side as you experience the journey of business ownership and the joys of being your own boss. Each month, you will have the chance to meet with your dedicated operations manager to review performance, financials, and other key factors so that you always know what steps to take next.
We also offer ongoing training opportunities for both franchisees and office staff members in addition to an in-person annual conference to help you keep in touch with your home care franchise family and stay abreast of the latest industry trends.
Are you eager to become your own boss, but want to avoid jumping into a new industry all on your own? Contact Senior Helpers online or schedule a call with our team to learn more about how you could benefit from becoming part of our home care franchise.
