Senior Care franchise opportunities

As the ageing population continues to grow, the need for senior care services is on the rise. Almost everyone wants their elderly parents or relatives to have the best possible quality of life in their later years, and this is not something they can always help with, leaving the senior care market to fill the gap.

Increasing number of senior citizens

According to Age UK, the number of people aged 60 or over is expected to pass the 20 million mark by 2030, and by 2040 nearly one in four people in UK will be aged 65 or over. This means the potential number of older people that need care will reach staggering levels within the next few years, and the senior care market is becoming particularly lucrative.

The benefits of a senior care franchise

While insurance can be a tricky thing to work out when going it alone with any business, home care services can be particularly tricky in terms of administrative work due to the sensitive nature of the sector. Working with a franchise can make this process much easier and, because the franchise name is already established and trusted, can bring down insurance premiums considerably.

Other things to consider when setting up a home care business include adequate staff training and appropriate processes when it comes to your clients' most sensitive issues. Getting involved with a franchise means you will be supported in regards to these issues, thereby minimising the risk of failure and of any potential legal problems arising. Generally speaking, the senior care market can be a very rewarding one to get involved with. Franchises currently recruiting such as Sylvian Care and Promedica, for example, posit themselves as the perfect business for 'caring entrepreneurs', meaning you can rest assured that your work is helping improve someone’s quality of life during some of their most vulnerable years.
