1Heart is an established brand in the homecare industry, having been in the business for more than 15 years. 1Heart wants to share this exciting opportunity with people who have a genuine desire to improve the quality of life of seniors and are committed to operating their own business by owning a 1Heart franchise.
1Heart has a proven business model that has been tested and refined over the years, and we share that invaluable knowledge with you. You’ll get hands-on coaching and support in every aspect of the business including:
Finance
Marketing
HR and Staffing
Sales and Business Development
We’ll also keep you informed of the most up-to-the-minute changes in the industry. 1Heart consistently adapts the model to the changing market. This background experience helps reduce and eliminate the risk of failure. Senior care laws are constantly changing and our 1Heart experts keep you informed of the latest eldercare information and regulations.
Owning an independent homecare company is going the longer and riskier way of doing business because you start from scratch with an unknown brand. Owning a 1Heart franchise is cost-effective and provides quick access to starting your business with professional eldercare information and insight available.
1Heart is a quality brand already recognized for its service excellence, valuable operating system, and productive on-going support. Use of our trusted name gives you a head start when marketing your franchise online and locally. According to Franchise Business Review, senior care franchises are one of the lowest investment risks you can make.
The homecare business is currently stable, despite the global events that have wreaked havoc in other areas of business. Since care for the elderly and vulnerable is a growing need, homecare franchises are a smart bet in a world otherwise hit by layoffs, poor retail sales, and other woes. In fact, the need for homecare has seen a recent bump, given that social distancing makes it more difficult to get out. Homecare franchises offer people a chance to rely on them to make sure their loved ones are cared for in the midst of an uncertain and difficult-to-navigate time.
The initial investment ranges from $88, 110 – $127, 160 and this includes the $47,500 franchise fee.

Comply with business license requirements

Healthcare knowledge offers an advantage, as does a sales and marketing background or experience in running one’s own business, though it is not a requirement. The business model set-up for your personnel will be discussed during the Discovery Day training session. Your personal 1Heart consulting agent will assist you with any industry inquiries along the way.
