The World is Changing, Take Control of Your Future
Background
The home care market for the elderly continues to grow rapidly with the advent of the baby boomers reaching retirement age. In the United States, there were approximately 41 million individuals in 2010 who are 65 and older. Today, 10,000 people are being added to that number each day! By 2030, that number will surpass 70 million at which time one out of five people could be a potential client for a home care franchise. Home care services are offered to an ever-growing market of seniors, making the home care market unaffected by changing economies. Only a few franchising organizations have capitalized on these rapidly growing opportunities. The franchising opportunity is a very attractive proposition for entrepreneurs who have always wanted to be their own boss. Such opportunities become even more attractive during economic hardships when people start searching for sustainable sources of income. We at Options have recognized the potential in providing home care services for the elderly. We are seeking individuals who share our mission to provide excellent and compassionate care. With an uncompromising sense of dedication and compassion, Options franchises bring added comfort to senior care recipients and provide them with an affordable solution while satisfying their preference to remain at home.
Investment in a Franchise
As you begin to seriously consider buying an Options franchise, you want to know early on what the start-up and ongoing costs of your new business will be. We have devised a financial scheme that we believe is very competitive given all the benefits that a new Options franchisee enjoys. For a brief overview of the expected financial commitment a new franchise owner will have towards his/her primary expenditures, examine our franchise costs.

Sometimes it is best to hear things from someone else, a third party. We are proud of the many happy and satisfied families whom we have served and are currently serving. Here are some excerpts from some of our family members:
"I like the flexibility aspect of your services."
Barbara S. , Power of Attorney of our care recipient

"I've probably written this note a hundred times in my head, but it never seems to clearly communicate the gratitude that I have for you and your staff. Knowing that my mom was cared for with such kindness and compassion was a blessing for all of us. Amid all the changing situations, you let us know that we were not alone...even delivering caregivers in the middle of the night... You can be sure that we will continue to tell others about the exceptional people at Options for Senior America."
