Nation's only Christian-based, in-home caregivers ready to franchise
Christian Companion Senior Care, the nation's first senior care franchise to combine practical and spiritual assistance, is offering franchise opportunities to entrepreneurial-minded businesspeople in Dallas and Fort Worth, Texas, Wichita, Kan., Springfield and Kansas City, Mo., and Little Rock, Ark. "Franchising lets you start a business for yourself, but not by yourself," said Christian Companion Senior Care Founder and President Gary Brown. "With the number of seniors in our targeted region hovering around 750,000, we feel these regions of the United States are primed for new franchises. Unlike starting a business from scratch, Christian Companion franchisees begin with a proven business model. From day one, our franchisees are provided protected territories and tools to help ensure their business success � plus affiliation with a team of like-minded, mission-focused businesspeople." The growing number of aging Americans is profound. According to Aging in Place in America (2007), 37.3 million people aged 65 and better live in the United States. This number is projected to grow to 86.7 million by 2050. Other reports from the same source indicate that seniors ages 85 and better are now the fastest growing segment of the United States population. Couple those statistics with the fact that 76 percent of seniors say that religion is very important to their life (U.S. Census Bureau � 2006). The timing is perfect for a mix of senior care with Christian caregivers. "Christians are increasingly looking for ways to integrate their faith into the workplace," Brown added. "Christian Companion offers franchise owners the opportunity to earn a living by living their faith." Christian Companion Senior Care is headquartered in Oklahoma City and has franchises in Oklahoma City and Tulsa, Okla. The company provides seniors with traditional in-home services, such as bathing, light housekeeping, medication reminders, meal preparation and transportation. In addition, trained and experienced care-giving professionals are also equipped to provide spiritual encouragement. Clients indicate that in-home assistance gently coupled with spiritual encouragement � like prayer, reading the Bible, even singing a favorite old hymn � can make the difference between merely existing and living with joy.
