What Does a Senior Care Advisor Do? Hear from Franchisees
In any exploration of franchise opportunities, there comes a time when you need to hear from real people who are living their success and loving it. Current franchisees can give you the truest insight into what to expect and how to go about achieving your own goals. As you search for the best franchise to own, it’s important to look for a franchisor who can provide you with a network that can offer sage advice and help any time you need it—both before and after you’ve made your investment. What Does a Senior Care Advisor Do? Here’s what our franchisees say.
At CarePatrol, we deeply value the lived experiences of our franchise owners and celebrate their wins with them. That’s why we asked several of our current franchisees what they love most about their decision to join CarePatrol. If you’re interested in becoming a senior care advisor, here are some of the benefits you can expect when you choose CarePatrol!
5 Things CarePatrol Franchisees Love About What They Do
Making a Difference in Their Communities
To Becky Bongiovanni, Brand President & Certified Senior Advisor, the biggest reason a person would consider CarePatrol as a franchise opportunity is “because they really want to help and make a difference in their community.”
As a senior living advisor, you get to make a genuine impact, helping older adults “live their best life possible and help them along the aging care continuum.” You get to ensure that families in your local territory find the care they need at no cost to them—helping turn a stressful situation into a process of finding clarity and peace of mind for their elderly loved ones.
Additionally, addressing financial concerns is a significant aspect of the decision-making process in senior care, requiring expert guidance to ensure the best outcomes for families.
A wealth of research tells us that having purpose and finding meaning in your work isn’t just nice—it’s a necessity. If you’re feeling stuck in a job or career that doesn’t provide you with a deep sense of meaning and purpose, something needs to change. CarePatrol offers a path toward purpose, ambition, and reward for seasoned business owners and new entrepreneurs alike.
Meeting & Surpassing Financial Goals as Senior Care Advisors
Of course, fiscal goals are just as important as personal goals to any budding entrepreneur. Michelle Graf, a multi-unit franchisee operating in Wisconsin, has found that achieving financial success doesn’t have to come at the expense of doing meaningful work.
“One of my most important goals when I started CarePatrol was I wanted to find a way to be connected with my community,” Graf says. “But I also had another side: financial goals. And I’ve more than surpassed that goal. It’s been amazing.”
CarePatrol’s business model has positioned franchisees as leaders in this industry for over 25 years. If you’re excited and willing to follow this proven model, you have an impressive earning potential at your fingertips.
Achieving Success Without Sacrificing Family Life
Despite the fact that Michelle Graf has operated multiple CarePatrol locations since 2014, she hasn’t had to compromise on the things that matter most to her. Not only has she pursued and achieved her financial aspirations, but she’s also been able to do that “without sacrificing my very personal life: time with my family and time with my children. That’s actually been enhanced.”
As your own boss, you’re free to create the kind of work-life balance that helps you and your business thrive. Franchisees love that they can each learn how to incorporate their businesses into their everyday lives and make both work successfully.
Experiencing Something New Every Day
“Every day can be very different, which is so exciting,” says Julie Lewinski. She and partner Don Lewinski are multi-unit franchisees who have been operating in New York since 2020. Life as a senior care advisor can mean playing several roles: “It can be being in a hospital to see patients, going to skilled nursing homes and their rehabs to see patients, traveling to different senior communities for tours.”
“We all get to see a different thing every day, and I think that that’s what’s a lot of fun about what we do,” Lewinski says. After all, variety is linked with happiness and motivation. That’s just part of what makes senior care advising a top career choice and business opportunity alike.
Being in Charge of Their Own Destinies
“What I love about franchising is that you’re in business for yourself but not by yourself,” says Becky Bongiovanni. Because CarePatrol offers extensive training, business coaching, processes, and ongoing support, franchisees are free to innovate. Here, you can focus your efforts on growth and achievement rather than worrying about reinventing the wheel.
Independence + Support
“It is ultimately my business,” says Laura Cooley, owner of CarePatrol of Colorado Springs-Pueblo. “I get to make a lot of decisions on my own for what’s good for our employees and what’s good for our local market, but I also get a lot of support from the home office.”
This true ownership over the way you run your company is a pivotal aspect of life as a CarePatrol franchisee: “We get all the processes and support,” Cooley says, “and then we’re able to go out there, and it’s our responsibility to build on that. But we get a lot of support to do that.”
