Now is the perfect time to invest in a senior care franchise, and if you are considering investing in one, CarePatrol should be at the top of your list. Becoming a CarePatrol senior care franchise owner can be a profitable and rewarding experience. Keep reading to learn more.

How Do Senior Care Franchises Work?

As the owner of a CarePatrol senior care franchise, you will help the loved ones of older adults find a senior care solution that meets their elderly family member’s specific needs. 

To accomplish this, you will become an expert senior care advisor by learning about the various communities in your area. CarePatrol’s services are free to clients as the senior care facilities pay the CarePatrol franchisee, enabling you to advocate for the families and build strong relationships. 

A Home-Based Business Model

With CarePatrol, you can work from home as a Local Senior Care Advisor. That is the remarkable thing about CarePatrol: You will not have to worry about overhead, payroll, or staffing until your business grows!

Senior Care Franchises Know Their Communities

When the time comes to transition an elderly loved one to a senior care facility, many families are not sure where to begin. They could research, call, and schedule numerous tours at the various facilities in their area, but that takes a significant amount of time. 

This is where CarePatrol steps in. Franchise owners attain in-depth knowledge of their local assisted living communities and other senior care options and services. Then, they use this knowledge to help families make informed decisions for their loved ones.

How Franchise Owners Learn About Local Senior Care Communities

To provide your clients with the best care options, you will learn which amenities and skill sets each senior care community in your area can provide. You will be with the families every step of the way because when they visit a local senior care establishment, a CarePatrol executive accompanies them.

Besides touring the local senior care communities, you will have access to the performance reviews and track records of the communities CarePatrol already has contracts with. Once you access this information, you can quickly and easily determine the level of care that each facility provides.

Senior Care Options, Explained

The needs of older adults determine which facility will serve them best. As advisors, franchise owners learn the differences between the levels of care each type of facility can provide to better inform clients.

Independent Living Communities

An independent living community may be an excellent choice if an older adult is healthy but wants to live a maintenance-free life. These communities usually have on-site amenities and provide social activities.

Assisted Living

When an older adult cannot continue living independently, assisted living communities can help. These communities help manage medications and assist with grooming (e.g., bathing and getting dressed). In addition, older adults may receive snacks, meals, housekeeping, and laundry services—exact amenities vary from location to location.

Memory Care

If an older adult is living with any form of dementia, memory care is usually the best choice of care. Many of these communities offer medical care and ensure patients remain safely inside by securing the building’s exits and entrances.

Nursing Homes

When an older adult needs continuous medical care that cannot be provided with in-home services or in an assisted living facility, the best option is a nursing home.

In-Home Care

Sometimes, an older adult can take advantage of in-home care services provided by professional caregivers, certified home health care aides (HHAs), and registered nurses (RNs).

Senior Care Franchises Support Families

Once a loved one contacts CarePatrol for help, a Local Senior Care Advisor schedules a “Care Discovery” session. This session is typically a face-to-face meeting. However, we know that some people prefer a video meeting or a traditional phone call, both of which are fine.

The Care Discovery Session

During the discovery session, the advisor asks about the specific needs of the elderly loved one and the senior’s financial situation to help determine which senior care solutions are within their budget.

Research and Pre-Screening

The advisor researches and pre-screens the senior care options in the area. Then, they present the client with the top three matches.

A Personal Tour

The Local Senior Care Advisor provides a personal tour through the three recommended top senior living communities. These tours allow clients to speak with staff and see the accommodations while the advisor offers support and comfort. 

In addition, the research and pre-screening process allows the advisor to answer many of the client’s questions, which displays their expertise in their local senior care communities.

We realize that clients must consider many factors when making their decisions. For this reason, CarePatrol’s Local Senior Care Advisors may help clients weigh their options. This is when an advisor’s expertise really makes a difference.

The Need for Senior Care Franchises Remains Strong

According to the Population Reference Bureau, the elderly population in the U.S. will increase by nearly 70% by 2060. In addition, experts project that by 2029, senior care market revenue will increase from $455 billion to more than $651 billion, making the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) for this market 6.15%.

Many in this aging population will need to transition to a senior living community. As a CarePatrol franchisee, you can help these individuals and their families find the right care solution and make a profit!

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.”
