Naturally, as in any business venture, there is no guarantee of your success or earnings capability. We do, however, give you the benefit of our franchise systems, national network, innovation and expertise provided by the Interim HealthCare franchise support team at the National Headquarters.
Absolutely! The market continues to grow. The nation's population continues to age. In 1994, approximately one in eight Americans was age 65 and older. By 2030, one in five Americans will be a senior citizen. From 1960 to 1994, the "oldest" population (persons aged 85 and over) increased by 274% compared with 100% for those 65 and over. Americans spend roughly $33 billion annually for home healthcare services. Home care is considered by many to be a cost-effective alternative to extended hospitalizations, lengthy rehabilitation, or nursing homes.
Definitely. Today, franchising occurs in a multitude of industries. Its benefits have been proven over many years and Interim HealthCare was actually the very first healthcare franchise company. A successful healthcare franchise requires operating systems and processes that take years to develop. We have spent more than 50 years understanding the complexities of the business and developing franchise systems and support in the areas of franchise operations, marketing, sales, finance, training and human resources. Interim HealthCare has the most extensive knowledge and the ability to navigate through state or federal government regulations. Translating that information to our franchisees is one of the most important benefits our franchisees receive and is a vital component of operating a successful home care company.
