We Will Help You Start Your Own Christian Based Home Care Business in Georgia Without the Restrictions and Fees of a Franchise.

Non-Medical Home Care is the most Dynamic Business Opportunity of this Century

Healthcare is the largest industry in our country. National healthcare spending in 2004 hit almost $1.2 trillion and is increasing rapidly. Seniors are the fastest growing segment of this huge market and has exhibited the most stunning growth. Businesses in this category grew almost 39% in the past year. With this swiftly expanding senior population, the need for in-home senior care is in huge demand. As the nation ages, senior care is expected to replace child care as the top social issue in this country. Furthermore, seniors spend 67% more than the average consumer on health related services.

As a result, conditions have never been better for success in serving this market. Not only can you run a profitable business, but can have the gratification of helping others in need. You will have the satisfaction of self-employment, job security, financial benefits, and the business can be worked from your home if you choose.

The statistics below indicate the expanding older population.  The need for support will continue to grow dramatically among this group.

The Demographic Shift

• The fastest growing segment of the population is the 85+ group.  This group is expected to double to nearly 7 million in the next 15 years.
• It is estimated that by 2020 there will be more people over the age of 65 than there will be of school age.  This is the first time this has happened.
• Most older persons have at least one chronic condition including hypertension, arthritis, heart disease, cancer, and Parkinson’s.
• Nearly 11 million non-institutionalized older persons live alone.
• More than 2 million persons turned 65 in 2005.
• The number of Americans aged 45-64 who will reach 65 over the next two decades increased by 40% during this decade.
• The U.S. population age 65 and older numbered 36.8 million in 2005, up 3.2 million or almost 10% since 1965.
• Approximately 25% of all households are now providing emotional, physical, or financial support to older relatives

Is there a real need in this market?

• Seniors prefer to remain in the privacy and comfort of their own homes.
• By remaining in their home, the senior’s quality of life improves.
• The burdens of caregiving take its toll on family members and friends, often resulting in caregiver burnout.  This leads to the need for outside support.
• Improved medications and technology make  it possible for seniors to receive care at home and not be institutionalized.
• Home care is far less expensive to the family than often catastrophic hospital and nursing home costs.
• Hospitals are discharging patients earlier due to high cost and many require assistance at home as they recuperate.

However, starting a new business and career can be a daunting challenge and more difficult than many would expect. Starting an in-home senior care business in Georgia has its particular challenges, not the least of which is meeting the state requirements for a license. Without proper guidance, this process could take as long as six months, quite a while to wait before generating income.  Planning, operating, and running a business from its inception and into the future requires many important processes.

One option is to choose a franchise.  There are many senior care franchises available; all are costly with prices ranging up to $85,000.  Furthermore you are tied to contract, often for ten years and must pay up to 8% of your income in monthly royalty fees.

• Purchase of a franchise – up to $85,000
• Royalties up to 8%
• Limited territory – even if you could serve a client outside of your territory, you may not do so.
• Your business decisions and operating procedures are made by the franchisor.  You simply become a business manager for them.
• You can only offer services directed by the franchise.
• Your marketing efforts are directed by the franchise.
• The franchise collects from your hard work.
