    About Preferred HealthStaff

    Preferred HealthStaff has been recognized time after time for being the best in the business and for our excellence in customer service. Isn't it time you owned and operated your own business and enjoyed this same recognition and appreciation in your local community? Beyond The TraditionalPreferred HealthStaff got its start as a family owned and operated company built on the idea of providing assistance and care to those who are unable to care for themselves or simply need a little help. Our mission is to provide a better quality of life to people of all ages and abilities who need or want assistance. And our business focus goes beyond the usual home care franchise services: We provide in-home support and services to our clients to help them remain safely in their own homes - from general personal services and companionship, to homemaker, transportation, and other non-traditional services. We provide staffing solutions to health care institutions such as nursing homes. We contract with other home health care agencies and insurance companies to provide licensed medical staff. Most important, our home care franchise opportunities provide you the opportunity to run your own personally and professionally rewarding business, in an industry that is experiencing explosive growth.
