As a franchisee of Senior Helpers, they get the best of both worlds: a chance to make a positive impact in their community as well as live out their dreams of business ownership. Becoming your own boss has never been easier or more fulfilling when you open a franchise with Senior Helpers.

Recession Resistant

Through COVID-19 all Senior Helpers locations have remained open to provide essential care to those in need. During this difficult time, our home care franchise excelled with the outstanding support provided to our franchisees and allocated over $700,000 out of their marketing fund to provide personal protective equipment (PPE) to each office across the Nation. Senior Helpers has and will continue to provide care and comfort at a moment’s notice. Sales have increased by double digits for 2020. Before the pandemic, the senior care industry was already a $400 billion industry and growing. With senior populations expected to grow by 25% over the next 10 years, reaching the 72 million marks by 2030 and 84 million by 2050, a senior home care franchise will endure both health and financial crises. According to a survey by AARP, 86% of the 50 plus population in the U.S. want to stay in their home while aging. Those surveyed believe staying in their home offers a better quality of life and is less expensive than nursing home and assisted living options. The current crisis has heightened not only the senior population’s desire to stay in place – but has raised awareness of the types of aid that will be necessary for non-medical needs.
