Go, Granny, Go
The dilemma of how to properly care for our aging population has generated a great many in-home senior care franchise opportunities. These businesses provide peace of mind, and are obvious alternatives to nursing homes. Services often include non-medical in-home care such as assistance in everyday tasks, running errands, transportation to appointments, household chores, or simple companionship. Other franchises offer medical personnel (mostly nurses) who visit from once a week to every day, and dispense medications, injections, dress wounds, take vital signs, and other medical duties. It seems to me that, as baby boomers near retirement, such services will be in higher demand than ever before. Those of us 65 or older (myself included) are currently 36 million strong, and it is projected that number will reach over 80 million within the next two decades. Any of my peers out there agree that these kinds of services are long overdue? Any viewpoints on the best ones?
