Caregiving Leader AmeriCare Announces National Expansion

ATLANTA, Feb. 3 /PRNewswire/ -- AmeriCare (www.americareinfo.com), the leading home-based caregiving franchiser, announced plans for national expansion to meet the rise in demand due to an aging population and opportunities in new markets. AmeriCare's launch is part of a national growth strategy, which includes expanding caregiving services in its 17 current markets and entering new markets throughout the country.    

Founded in 2003, AmeriCare franchises provide caregiving services to seniors and families with a choice of licensed, pre-screened, personally selected caregivers who work with individuals to create a unique customized care plan, free of limitations or restrictions. The caregiving company is actively seeking new franchisees to own and operate franchises in the Southeast, Mid-Atlantic and West to extend AmeriCare's services into communities with the greatest need and opportunity. Entrepreneurs invest $30,000 to purchase a franchise with AmeriCare providing the structure, training, marketing plans and materials, and ongoing support to ensure local market success. Interested entrepreneurs can learn more at www.americareinfo.com or by attending an upcoming local seminar in their area.

"We start by asking every entrepreneur we meet, 'Would you rather own a caregiving or a caretaking company?'" said Debra Reis, president of AmeriCare. "It's a vital question that reflects our most basic corporate value: to deliver unparalleled commitment to quality caregiving with flexible schedules designed to meet a client's specific needs." AmeriCare provides franchisers with in-depth, interactive, and ongoing training and support before and after they start their business. "We do this to help them deliver on our caregiving promise," added Reis. "It's what differentiates AmeriCare in an industry that's experiencing explosive growth."

Despite the stagnant economy and uncertainty in healthcare markets, AmeriCare doubled their number of franchises in 2008 and grew by an additional 50 percent in 2009, reflecting its commitment to quality growth and building a franchise community that mirrors the corporate values of caregiving over caretaking. The national growth plans for 2010 and beyond reflect the positive growth of the company and the current market demand for caregiving services as America's aging population expands. Nationwide, more than 34 million Americans personally care for a family member in need and, with the population aging, the number of families in need of quality, flexible caregiving services continues to rapidly rise. AmeriCare provides families the option to keep loved ones in the comfort of their home while providing quality caregiving to seniors, new parents and those recovering from surgery. Families can create customized care plans and choose from a selection of quality, licensed, pre-screened caregivers to create the best match to meet their needs.
