There’s no big surprise that our population is ageing dramatically as people are living longer and enjoying fruitful lives. Why is this happening though? Two big contributing factors to support the explanation is that of a decline in birth rates within the UK and the natural improved life expectancy that we are witnessing as a nation.

Research has proven that a vast amount of older people would prefer to live independently within the comfort of their own home. Unfortunately, this can not always be the case, and too often we are seeing examples of loved ones being up routed and moved into expensive care homes. This can occur due to the lack of knowledge of the industry, not knowing that there is a home care option available that provides just as much care and at a far cheaper cost. This also allows the loved one to live within the comfort of familiar surroundings. For those older loved ones that do require the support and assistance with their day-to-day lives, live in home care provided by franchisees is a viable and comforting option.

This has opened a huge demand for home care businesses to support the elderly as they live longer and seek that extra little bit of support at home. This has led to franchise businesses within the home care sector to thrive and help those in need of that extra support and provide the quality services required by older people.

Types of in home care franchises – 

• Domiciliary Care franchises - This is where you are assigned a carer that will visit you on a pre-set time daily and well help assist with tasks and medication. 
• Visiting care at home Franchise - This is where the more vulnerable require an actual live in carer that can assist 24/7 and provide support and friendship. 

The home care franchise sector can provide prospective franchisees with a lucrative and rewarding lifestyle. The potential income is good and you’re also helping people live a comfortable life. Most home care franchises do not require a medical background as full franchise training will be provided in the management of nurses for your franchise. Starting a home care franchise is seen as the more viable option as you are walking into a proven, established business model that provides extensive Franchise training and support to ensure you succeed and provide the highest quality of care to your clients.
