Domestic and International Healthcare Franchise Opportunities
Owning a franchise allows a person to operate a business without having to develop a system from scratch. The concept, business model, and branding are already established. You do not have to come up with an idea, formulate an original plan, get investors on-board, and take all the risks associated with a new business. The owner of the franchise operates it under the supervision of corporate headquarters. The owner buys into the franchise and is in control of that location. As an owner, you will be responsible for hiring personnel, overseeing the day-to-day operations of the business, and making sure the policies and procedures of the parent company are followed.
Franchises are available across industries. There are fast food franchises, automotive care franchises, and convenience store franchises, just to name a few. One franchise currently growing is the home care/senior care franchise known as Brightstar Care. The demand for home care is great, and will only increase in the future. More and more people are choosing to remain in their homes with support services. Hospitals are encouraging this trend because it helps them cut healthcare costs and reduce overlaps in services. This franchise gives the owner multiple revenues streams because it offers many types of home care solutions.
Senior companion care services help the elderly stay connected to the community, remain as active as possible, and offer respite for family members. Skilled nursing care provides 24/7 care for the elderly in their homes, RN and LPN availability, wound care, hospice assistance, and occupational and physical therapy in-home. Medical staffing services provide per diem and temporary staff to hospitals and nursing homes when they are short staffed.
As the franchise owner, you can choose which services will be provided by your location. Brightstar Care requires a low initial investment and provides extensive training to new owners and employees. Training is done at their facility and online. Ongoing support is provided to the owner via office visits, performance reviews, conferences, technology updates, web-based software, and best practices counseling. Marketing support includes printed materials, an online presence, and advertising. Opportunities exist for franchises in the U.S. and in six additional countries.
