(£10,000) for potential franchisees
with the right attitude. Operational
costs are also low.
The care at home sector is exciting.
One in six people alive today will live
to be 100 years old and the age markers
are changing rapidly.
The master license holders in the
UK have been told by independent
commentators that their care model
takes friction out of the system. Less
friction for clients to use the service
and less friction for carers to care.
More than 300 Seniors Helping
Seniors franchisees have left the
corporate world to concentrate on
doing something worthwhile with their
management skills. In many cases,
retirement didn’t appeal as much as the
drive to ‘give back’ and help others. 95
per cent of the 300 franchisees are over
50 years of age.
PROBLEM SOLVER
Seniors Helping Seniors is a citizen led
service that helps solve two big social
problems: older workers’ employment
opportunities and elderly care. The
focus is well-being as opposed to
nursing and it resonates well in a
society that desperately needs to care
for people in a community setting.
Offering fulfilling, flexible, local
and well paid work on terms that
appeal to older people with caring
experience is the job of the Seniors
Helping Seniors franchisee.
The reliable care option that
doesn’t make people feel like patients
wins awards for customer service.
And the magic of matching people
who have the experience and want
to help people, with people who
need a little help to live the lives they
want, appeals to the manager come
entrepreneur who knows there are
no quick fixes in life.
The fully managed care service
uses customer management skills,
human resources skills and logistics.
Local networking, local knowledge
and marketing skills are all relevant.
Franchisees rarely possess all the
skills they need when they step into
the process, so new business owners
are taken through everything in two
initial training sessions. Support
pertaining to their own skill set and
exclusive territory is continual.
Managers looking for fulfilment,
levels of profit and personal
satisfaction are attracted to Seniors
Helping Seniors because it’s
purposeful. It ‘does good’.
So there’s a way to use
management skills, an instinct to do
good and to give back, while growing
your own healthy future and helping
your community.
