Excerpt: Home Care Franchise Industry Update 2012 | BlueMauMau
Here is an excerpt from my just released Home Care Franchise Industry Update?2012 report, entitled The Drivers of Home Care Franchising. There are three key factors that are driving the growth of the home care franchising sector.
- The Market for Home Care Services
- The Franchise Business Model
- The Appeal of a Home Care Franchise
The Market for Home Care Services
In order for a franchise to be successful there needs to be a sustainable market that franchisees can tap into. The market ought to be large enough so as to provide each franchisee the opportunity for continued growth. The market for home care services is fueled by the continued aging of the U.S. population and the lower cost of home care compared to institutional care. The population of those 65 and older is projected to represent 14.5% of the total U.S. population by the year 2015 totaling almost 47 million people. Clearly the size and growth of this market will attract more companies to franchise and more individuals will invest in franchises. At least 70 percent of people older than 65 will require some home care services at some point in their lives. However, people of any age may need long-term care. Multiple factors increase the risk of needing long-term care, however, age is a key factor since the longer a person lives, the greater the risk. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, HC services are projected to be the 4th fastest growing employers through 2018.Franchisors that provide skilled nursing services will have the advantage of being able to tap into the entire home care market in addition to those 65 and older..
The Franchise Business Model
As the franchise home care sector has continued to grow, franchisors have developed business models including operational and financial software that enables their franchisees to operate more effectively. Given the fact that the majority of home care franchisors limit their services to companion and homemaker activities the operational processes including client billing are rather straightforward. The combination of a business model coupled with the non-skilled home care service doesn?t require a franchisee to possess extraordinary business skills.? Most home care franchisors provide proprietary software for their franchisees that includes caregiver scheduling, management and financial control systems. Some like Home Helpers utilize an Intranet program for franchisee Q&A, tips and collaboration with other franchise owners. The structure and tools provided to home care franchisees by a franchisor adds to the attractiveness of a home care franchise.
The Appeal of a Home Care Franchise
For individuals interested in owning a franchise, the home care sector offers an opportunity at a reasonable investment. Almost 50% of home care franchises allow the franchisee to operate from a home based office. The site requirements for those home care franchises that do require a separate business location are such that the rental costs are reasonable. The investment in a home care franchise ranges from a low of $50,000 to a high of $180,000. The royalty fee for home care franchises, with a few exceptions, is 5% or lower. A home care franchise is an attractive business for a broad universe of people with the proper qualifications. In particular, women interested in owning their own business often find a home care franchise a good business fit. Business people, retired executives, teachers and seniors who are seeking a franchise with a straightforward business format find home care appealing. For certain individuals the satisfaction gained from providing home care services to others are an additional motivating factor.

Judge Napolitano on Social Security: 'If It's Not a Ponzi Scheme, I ...
1:49 pm ET October 17, 2012
The cost of living increase for Social Security recipients will go up by 1.7% next year, one of the smallest jumps since the automatic adjustment for inflation was adopted in 1975.
Never hesitant to express a strong opinion on the role of the federal government, Judge Andrew Napolitano weighed in on the current state of the Social Security system this morning on Fox Business Network.
First going back through the history of the Social Security law, Napolitano said, ?The money that is deducted from our pay here every week is spent immediately by the federal government. But the money that is paid to our parents and grandparents is borrowed. So, if that?s not a Ponzi scheme, I don?t know what is.?
The judge credited Rep. Paul Ryan for at least addressing the unsustainability of the current system in his budget proposal.
He summed up the state of the entitlement system and the tough decisions that will eventually have to be made by saying, ?There are too many people dependent on the federal government and now the federal government is about to run out of cash. What do we do??

Broncos storm back from 24-0 to stun Chargers
Broncos QB, Denver defense log 'special' comeback from 24-0 hole to win 35-24
Getty ImagesThe Broncos' Peyton Manning calls an audible against the Chargers Monday night in San Diego.
Associated Press Sports
updated 11:48 p.m. ET Oct. 15, 2012
SAN DIEGO - It took a quarterback of Peyton Manning's caliber to pull off this kind of comeback.
After the Denver Broncos slogged through a nightmare of a first half, Manning showed that he's still one of the NFL's best.
Manning threw three touchdown passes in the second half and Tony Carter and Chris Harris scored off turnovers by Philip Rivers as the Broncos overcame a 24-0 halftime deficit to shock the San Diego Chargers 35-24 on Monday night.
"It sure was special considering what was on the line," said Manning, a Super Bowl winner and four-time NFL MVP who's in his first season with the Broncos.
Manning was 13 of 14 for 167 yards in the second half for the Broncos (3-3) who tied the Chargers (3-3) atop the AFC West.
It tied for the fourth-biggest regular-season comeback in NFL history.
Manning had been 1-5 in his last six games against San Diego, all with Indianapolis.
Rivers was intercepted four times ? three in the fourth quarter ? and lost two fumbles. The four pickoffs and six turnovers were both career-highs.
A week earlier, the Chargers blew a 10-point lead in the third quarter in a 31-24 loss at New Orleans.
"When you lose it's rough, especially in a game where you had a big lead and so much at stake," Rivers said.
The Broncos seemed finished after an awful first half in which Manning served up an 80-yard interception return for a touchdown by Quentin Jammer and two special teams fumbles led to 10 points for the Chargers.
"I thought we had a good plan. It was so disappointing to have these special team mistakes," Manning said.
Manning began the comeback when he hit Demaryius Thomas on a 29-yard touchdown pass on the opening drive of the second half.
On the ensuing San Diego possession, Elvis Dumervil stripped the ball from Rivers and Carter ran 65 yards for a touchdown, holding up the ball in celebration as he approached the end zone.
Denver then sacked Rivers to force a punt and Manning capped the next drive with a 7-yard touchdown pass to Eric Decker to pull to 24-21.
Manning's 21-yard touchdown pass to Brandon Stokley gave Denver its first lead of the game, 28-24 with 9:03 left. Stokley outleaped defensive back Marcus Gilchrist to catch the ball, and then got both feet down before tumbling out of the end zone.That score was set up by Carter's interception.
Harris sealed the victory with a 46-yard interception return for a touchdown with 2:05 left. It was his second pick of the game.
"This was as good a second half of football as I've been involved in," Broncos coach John Fox said.
As for Manning, "He's real high on my list," the coach said. "He performed very well and has performed well in the last four games. He's going to keep getting better and better."
Manning finished 24 of 30 for 309 yards with one interception.
"Regular-season game, I think this is the best," said Stokley, who was a teammate of Manning's with the Colts. "The second half was unbelievable. We needed to win big-time and to perform like he did, it was awesome."
Fox said there "were no mystery words of wisdom at halftime. "Given how poorly we played in the first half, we just said we could play better in the second half and we broke out of it."
Manning agreed.
"We came out in the second half, everybody was accountable and professional," he said. "We had 30 minutes and I thought it was important to get off to a good start with that first drive. Hitting DT for the touchdown really set the tempo for the second half."
Jammer intercepted Manning and returned it 80 yards for his first career touchdown, and Antonio Gates caught his second TD pass of the game in the second quarter, extending the Chargers' lead to 24-0.
Before Jammer's TD, the Broncos appeared on their way to their first score of the game with Manning's 55-yard pass to a wide-open Decker. But Decker tripped himself at the Chargers' 40, got up and was tackled at the 30-yard line.
Manning clapped both hands to his helmet in disbelief, one of several times the star quarterback expressed frustration.
"A piece of grass made a nice tackle," Manning joked. "Those kind of plays happen. You do kind of wonder, is this not meant to happen? Obviously Decker was sick about it.
"It's about playing 60 minutes. There's no quit in this team," Manning said.
Three plays later, Manning threw a pass straight to Jammer.
Rivers was 25 of 41 for 242 yards.
"We've got to go play a complete game," San Diego coach Norv Turner said. "We've shown through three quarters of a game what we can do."

Trash Talk: Do the New York Giants simply want it more than the rest of the NFL? That seems to be the case, which isn't normal for a typical Super Bowl champ.
