Seniors Helping Seniors® employs active older people to support less active older people who need help to stay safe and well in their own homes.

Elderly care services are tailored to each client. Activities of daily living including transportation, meal preparation, light housework, days out, stimulating activities such as creative classes and exercise is the core service offering.

The company has just earned CQC accreditation to deliver personal care as well which is an important milestone affecting the prospects of franchisees.

Seniors Helping Seniors franchisees can now decide to add personal care to their business whenever they are ready to grow. The franchise fee remains the same.

Seniors Helping Seniors® is a trusted care brand with 24 year’s experience and over 200 franchisees worldwide. Winning the Living Wage Foundation’s Champion award for showing leadership on the living wage in industries with high levels of low pay in the UK was the milestone for last year.

Seniors Helping Seniors has paid carers above the real living wage from day one and championing the Good Business Charter is another way it differentiates itself as a disrupter in the care sector.

The service is perfectly tailored for an ageing society. Carers with personal experience of ageing and caring appreciate the rewarding, well paid, flexible local work.

Employees are experts by experience or care professionals who have retired or moved on from social, charity or other care jobs.

There is no shortage of brilliant carers like Seniors Helping Seniors® carers because there is a stream of suitable people wanting to work in the proven roles we have created.

As a Seniors Helping Seniors® franchisee, you will be working with loving, caring giving, loyal and compassionate people to facilitate award winning care in your own community.

The joint drivers in the business are offering relevant, well paid and satisfying work that people want to do as they age and providing easy to accept, fully managed at home care services that families and older people love.

Seniors Helping Seniors® is privately owned which creates a kind and realistic business environment to work in. Transparency and straight forward processes is how our franchisees describe our partnership.

Seniors Helping Seniors® an influencer, changing views and offering new opportunities and choice for people as they age in UK.

Seniors Helping Seniors® is an international organisation with a successful franchising history spanning 24 years. The UK operation is award winning and you’d be joining a passionate team.

We welcome enquiries from people who want to use their skills to make an important contribution.

Improving the lives of others is the core of everything we do. This is not business as usual, this is business how it should be, and we’d love to hear from you.

Training

You can expect to be up and running within 3 months. Training encapsulates 24 years of success in 5 days:-

Two days initial training is followed by a period of local work which you do at your own pace, and a further three days of in-person franchisee training.

Training is run by the franchisor who has personally managed a Seniors Helping Seniors® operation and has a record of rolling out repeatable business operations. You will receive a manual, marketing materials, 24/7 support plus monthly follow ups to guide you with shared experiences. Franchisees have given training and support 5 * reviews.

Training is in a relaxed professional environment and every step of the operation is taught, so no specific business skill or care skills are required but people skills are a must.

We carefully select potential franchisees to ensure the right mind-set and heart.

National partnerships benefit every franchisee’s local operation.

“We were excited to attend the Seniors Helping Seniors Care Franchise onboarding training in February 2022 with Christian and Sally. The training was truly ‘5’star, very thorough and detailed. We learnt about the importance of adopting the franchise model and they shared strategies for success in managing and growing a Seniors Helping Seniors care agency franchise. We took on board their top tips for marketing our own domiciliary care franchise and immediately put them into practise. This has significantly increased awareness of the services our care3 franchise provides and has enabled fast track growth. Sally and Christian continue to provide outstanding coaching and are always very supportive.”

What will I do as a Franchisee

This is a home-based business and it is a people business. You will need to meet potential clients and carers as well as all the charities, companies, surgeries and locals who will refer business to you and sign post services. Care of the elderly is a partnership with family, medical and local services, so communication is 80% of your day. The proprietary admin system maintains care plans, employee details, handles invoicing and salaries.

Franchisees have chosen to replace themselves as their businesses grow, so franchisees develop their own roles over time.

The service helps solve the care crisis. Seniors Helping Seniors excelled during the pandemic as well as offering much needed rewarding work to older workers, so this is a legacy you will be proud of.

Before I met Christian and Sally, I had been acutely aware through personal experience with my elderly mother that there was a desperate need for the home care sector to be disrupted, for business to be conducted differently and for the elders of our society to be valued and supported through opportunities to continue working and remaining active, as well as for those that need to be supported, to do so with love, kindness and compassion. Upon meeting Sally and Christian, I realised very quickly that Seniors Helping Seniors does exactly this, and more. It was a no-brainer for me to then become a franchise partner. The entire process has been an utter joy and Sally and Christian, have been supportive and thorough in the training and support, always available and willing to help. I truly feel part of a team that is the living embodiment of its mission and values. I recently completed my training which, due to covid was conducted virtually, however, this was no issue at all. It’s a true honour to be part of the team and make a difference to how the elderly are supported and cared for.

From the initial telephone call, both Christian and Sally have been open and welcoming to the Seniors Helping Seniors franchise. The initial training gives you all the tools that you require to build your SHS business, to whatever size you want. Regular contact with Christian and Sally helps you overcome any operating issues. I would recommend anyone looking at starting a business in the care sector to have a serious and in-depth look at Seniors Helping Seniors.

When we looked into the prospect of purchasing a Care Agency Franchise, we found Sally and Christian to be very approachable and easy to talk to from the start of our initial enquiry about Seniors Helping Seniors. They have a very open and transparent approach which is refreshing. The Care Franchise training was comprehensive and well structured, yet adaptable to one’s level of business experience and, having owned and operated the Seniors Helping Seniors Domiciliary Franchise business themselves from its inception in the UK, both Christian and Sally were able to train on many different scenarios drawn from their own first hand experiences. Ongoing training and support is on hand and just a phone call or Zoom meeting away. Christian and Sally are motivated to assist their franchisees to build their businesses, as Seniors Helping Seniors becomes one of the leading elderly care providers in the South East of England. We would be happy (and have done so) to recommend the Seniors Helping Seniors Care Franchise to anyone looking for a rewarding business and making a difference to the lives of the elderly.

We run the Sevenoaks, Tonbridge & West Malling branch in Kent and have been extremely pleased with the support and training that Christian & Sally provided and we love the whole concept of Seniors Helping Seniors. The initial training provides everything you need to get started and the systems and processes work well, make running a Seniors Helping Seniors branch simple compared to setting up in business yourself. We highly recommend both the franchise and the entire Seniors Helping Seniors business model.

I discovered the Seniors Helping Seniors franchise opportunity when looking for a business after retiring from teaching. I wanted something that was about people, was run on ethical principles, and would be financially successful. After initial talks with Christian and Sally, I was so glad that my wife and I took the plunge and bought our Seniors Helping Seniors business. Training and support has been outstanding, with nothing being too much trouble and questions answered immediately. I really feel that I have arrived ‘home’, and that my many and varied life experiences have brought me to this. If you are looking to make a difference and help solve a real problem for so many elderly people, then I would absolutely recommend a serious look at this opportunity.
