Homewatch CareGivers would like to welcome you to explore one of the great business growth opportunities of the next decade: providing companion, personal and minor medical services to the homebound. We enable people to maintain independence in their homes regardless of age or infirmity.

For those who are seriously considering this business, we look for the following distinctions:

1) Prospective franchisees who validate well with us have had personal experiences involving close friends or family members who needed in-home companion, personal and/or minor medical services. Invariably, they were unsuccessful finding a good homecare agency or, if an agency was hired, saw vast room for improvement in the services rendered.

2) We want our franchisees to be compassionate people. Those with social work, nursing and pastoral backgrounds make good Homewatch franchisees because they tend to be caring individuals. Work history, however, is not necessarily an indicator of success in our business. Our franchisees come from divergent backgrounds. All possess a drive to render valuable services in their communities that enable people to stay in the comfort of their own homes regardless of age or infirmity.

3) Compassionate people tend to have social conscience, are mindful of the needs of the homebound and recognize the emotional and financial rewards this type of business can provide. Their enthusiasm for the business functions as a contagion on their employees and helps fuel the growth of the business.

In addition, prospective franchisee candidates need to be goal-oriented and organized. The homecare business, not unlike a staffing business, can be logistically challenging. Our franchisees need to be capable multi-taskers with good inter-personal skills.

Hopefully, this information will assist you in determining if you are a potential Homewatch CareGivers business owner. Good luck with your pursuits!
