SENIOR HELPERS
Senior Helpers franchises operate care agencies that provide non-medical personal assistance services primarily to elderly individuals, including companionship, bathing, dressing, grooming, light housekeeping, meal planning and preparation, running errands, medication reminders, Alzheimer’s and dementia care, and caregiver staffing for facilities. The business model involves licensing the Senior Helpers system, marks, and operational standards to franchisees who manage local agencies delivering these services. The target market is seniors and their families seeking in-home and facility-based non-medical care support.
