OKLAHOMA CITY, Aug. 14 /Christian Newswire/ -- 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 Little Rock as a way to tap into the high-growth senior care industry.
"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 Little Rock hovering around 70,000, we feel this area to be a prime location 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."
Little Rock residents with an interest in incorporating their faith with a new business venture should be aware of the growing in-home care industry. 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 aged 85 and better are now the fastest growing segment of the U. S. 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 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. www.ChristianSeniorCare.com.
