About Home Instead Senior Care
Company Overview
Home Instead Senior Care is a provider of non-medical at-home care for older people enabling them to remain in the comfort of their own homes. It provides flexible services tailored to the needs of each client, which include personal care, home help and companionship. The care in the home sector is growing and due to our ageing population this looks set to continue. Home Instead is increasingly a very relevant business not only for now but for the future.

Training
From day one franchisees receive dedicated support starting with an initial 180-day bespoke training programme. There is then ongoing business development and care training for franchisees and their teams.
Home Instead’s quality of care is matched by the quality of support given to its franchises, with a 5:1 ratio of national office staff to franchisee. Support includes business development, marketing, care standards, financial management and IT support. Franchisees also share best practice.
Daily Life of a Franchisee
This is a management franchise so no previous care experience is needed; you do need to be ambitious, have a head for business, great people skills and lots of drive to succeed. You will employ a care manager who is responsible for the care operations of the business. The franchisee is responsible for managing the business and business development. With Home Instead you can combine a sound, profitable business with making a real difference.
