Aging population triggers a boom in

Senior Care and Homecare Franchise

Within 10 years there will be over 54 million people over the age of 65. That’s almost 16% of the

U.S. population. In fact, the number of Americans 65 and older is

expected to more than double to 89 million by 2050, according to the Census Bureau.

With the fact that according to AARP, 88% of its members want to age in their own homes, the entire home care service industry will only experience enormous growth for the

next 50 years.

According to the National Alliance for Caregiving - "More than 65 million people, 29% of the U.S. population, provide care for a chronically ill, disabled or aged family member or friend during any given year and spend an average of 20 hours per week providing care for their loved one."

Most Caregivers have full time jobs and children. They are under tremendous stress and need help on the caregiving front.

Studies show that an overwhelming number of senior citizens would prefer to stay in their homes versus live in a nursing home if given a choice.

Homecare means more than just health and safety, it also means living well, with dignity in the most comfortable setting in the world - your home.

Senior Care and Homecare IndustryA Booming Market

In this day and age, we are all busier than ever – you can be the beacon of light to many families. Many people today make up the “Sandwich Generation.”

They are trying to take care of their parents and their children at the same time. It can be an overwhelming situation at times.

According to a recent report released by Franchise Business Review

"Senior care/home healthcare is the newest “it” industry for franchise ownership. The report- Senior Care and Home Healthcare Franchises- looks at the fast-growing, multi-billion dollar senior care industry to assess the franchise

investment opportunity. The services provided by franchises in this segment focus primarily around non-medical, in-home

care for seniors, but some companies also offer skilled medical care, medical staffing for hospitals and other healthcare agencies, and home healthcare services to non-seniors."

Overall, the home health care services industry has experienced sales growth of 11.2% over the past year,

making it the fastest growing industry in the U.S., according to Sageworks, a financial

analysis company.
