We believe that our experience in homecare franchising is the deepest in homecare franchising. We have 5 directors/stockholders of our company who have owned and operated their own NON-MEDICAL homecare agencies for periods of 4-12 years each. We believe that the deep experience of our directors is critical to the success of our franchisees. One of our directors, Jeffrey Johnson, has provided homecare services dating back to the 1980's. The homecare agency that he started in 1991 has serviced more than 1000 clients and grossed nearly $2 Million in annual revenues. In addition, Visiting Angels has recruited successful independent homecare agency owners to serve as directors to offer additional guidance to our franchisees. The value of a franchise is only as good as the expertise it affords.

Jeffrey was amazed at how many experienced home caregivers were available in his market. The agency business began to receive numerous calls each week from experienced caregivers interested in homecare positions. Most were middle aged to early senior age and found this to be a low stress, desirable job, caring for just one care recipient in a day. Many had worked in healthcare settings where they had to care for multiple patients in a single day.

In the 1980's, Jeffrey Johnson was employed as a Director of Social Work in a nursing home in the Baltimore, Maryland area. He listened as families of clients expressed frustration that they had no choice other than to place their loved ones in the nursing facility. Eventually, Jeffrey resolved to establish his own business to meet the needs of homebound senior citizens.

In the summer of 1991, Jeffrey resigned from his position with the nursing home and started a non-medical homecare agency called "The Senior Care Group, Inc." in Baltimore. He started very small, operating from his home, with enough capital to run a few small ads to solicit clients. The early ads generated the first clients including one that required services for two years. Within a few years, Jeffrey's homecare agency was approaching $2 million in annual sales despite growing competition. By the year 2002 He had served more than 1000 clients!
