Assisting Hands

Join the High-Demand, Recession-Resistant Senior Care Industry

Medical Experience is not Required

One of the most remarkable trends in the US market over the last 20 years is that older Americans are choosing to live out their lives in their homes—and choosing not to go to a “senior living” facility.  This has created an enormous business opportunity, and Assisting Hands Home Care is the path for you to take part.

Assisting Hands® is a leading in-home care franchise that offers personalized assistance and care to seniors. Longer life spans and an aging baby boomer population fuel the demand for our services. There is also a growing demand for in-home services to younger adults as well.  Our franchisees can also choose to provide skilled nursing services as well as non-medical services such as bathing and homemaking.  As we continue to expand we're looking for select individuals to join us. As an Assisting Hands® franchisee, you will find true meaning in your work, providing an essential service in a high-growth field that is recession resistant. You'll also enjoy the following advantages:

• An affordable business system - Low cost of entry, setup, and location.
• Growth opportunities through multi-unit ownership -  Our multi-unit ownership program allows you to purchase additional location or locations and reduces the franchise fee for each additional location.
• A protected territory -  Once you choose an available area, your exclusive territory will be determined based upon demographics such as population, as well as distance from other franchisees.
• No experience is necessary -  to own your own business in the in-demand, in-home care industry, as we provide you with a proven business system and extensive training and support.  Most of our franchisees come from non-health related fields including Finance, Law, Sales, Real Estate, and more.  Everything you’ve learned in your previous career can contribute to your success with Assisting Hands.
