A WORD FROM THE CARE GIVERS

Over the years, we’ve heard from many senior care franchisors about the personal fulfillment of running a senior care business.

Recently, Belina Calderon-Nernberg, CEO of 1Heart Caregiver Services, shared her story with Franchising USA. In her article on the emotional benefits of becoming a senior care franchisee, Belina shared her personal experience of trying to find a suitable carer for her parents in the Philippines when leaving to start her life with her family in the United States. Learning to put her trust in that carer inspired her to start her own senior care business with a focus on providing peace of mind to both the seniors needing support and their loved ones.

“No one can escape aging. Whenever I see the seniors we take care of, I see myself at their age in their shoes and there’s nothing more that I could hope and wish for than to have someone like our caregivers take care of me,” wrote Belina. Read her story here.

Angela started out as a registered nurse taking care of seniors in hospital and noticed that discharged seniors would soon end up returning to hospital as they were not receiving the proper care. She learned to her dismay that vulnerable seniors had no way of vetting the facilities they were being referred to. Seeing a need for this service, she decided to do it herself. Today, her franchise connects families of loved ones who require assisted living to the facilities that provide the best service for their individual needs.

“It was a little spark that became an inferno when frustration turned to inspiration,” said Angela. Read her story here.

Seeing a need, a gap in the market, a problem crying out for a solution, is what made these senior care franchisors the nation-wide success stories they are today.

And they are not alone. There are many senior and disability care service providers across the country who are making a positive, caring difference to the lives of those in need while also running a flourishing senior care franchising empire.
