OUR IDEAL FRANCHISEE
Homewatch CareGivers is looking for compassionate, goal-oriented people with a desire to help others and make a difference in their communities. Strong management and leadership skills are preferred, but medical and/or home care experience is not required.
We find that people with marketing, sales or operations experience are well suited for this industry. We also look for individuals with high, long-term income goals who are equally interested in improving the lives of others. Other traits we look for are strong people skills, the required amount of capital, financial stability, business/management background, the motivation and desire to succeed, and the willingness to follow a proven franchise system.
AVAILABLE MARKETS
States/Countries Registered In: Pending in WA, We are not registering in ND and RI
New York Consideration: Under current home care agency regulations in New York, there is a Certificate of Need needed to operate and there are currently challenges to prove that need. Therefore, we are not currently awarding in several counties in NY. The candidate needs to know that they would have to start with our active and wellness care levels only first. There is a moratorium on personal care however it is easier to present the need in Upstate NY but it still can take anywhere from 18 months-2 years to get a personal care license If you need a complete list of counties where we can develop or have any other questions, please contact us.
Oklahoma Consideration: The State of Oklahoma requires any person applying to take a test and there are only 4 schools in the state that offer the classes with limited offerings.
