Care
Heritage Healthcare T
he UK care industry is currently worth nearly £8billion with more than 8,500 homecare providers
available. Homecare is one of the largest-growing sectors in the UK, with around 10 million individuals aged over 65 looking for care and support to remain independent at home. Supported living is a movement here to stay, backed by many political parties, local authorities and voluntary charities, as well as family and friends. Growing older will inevitably increase
fragility, so everyone will need care and support at some point in their life. Many people are choosing to remain living in the comfort of their own home, but as a busy work life means more families are unable to provide the daily support their loved ones need, having a trusted care provider available is essential. With the advantages of modern medicine, long- term health conditions can be taken care of easily within the home with the right support. Compared with moving into a care or nursing home, homecare is more cost effective with the ability to choose
when care is needed. Homecare isn’t just for elderly clients; individuals living with disabilities are also looking for extra support in their daily lives. Respite care provides a primary carer with short-term temporary relief and a chance to take care of themselves. For attentive support, personal care helps clients with dressing, bathing, incontinence care and health monitoring, while companionship offers a friendly face to have a chat with or to take on daily visits. Some individuals are looking for extra help around the house; domestic support includes meal preparation, shopping for food, taking care of pets and regular house cleaning. The need for homecare services and the rising number of people aged 65-plus makes the homecare industry a fantastic opportunity. Business owners have the chance to launch their own homecare service with guidance from an established support team. Franchisees don’t need a medical background to launch the business, but having a compassionate and caring outlook helps to understand and create bespoke packages. Many care
franchises can cost anywhere from £15,000 to £40,000 in investment, with support from the franchisor when registering with the Care Quality Commission. There are many advantages to purchasing a franchise as opposed to setting up a startup alone. When investing in a franchise, you purchase a proven business model and can have confidence that you can make the business a success – a huge advantage when you consider the shocking statistic that over 90 per cent of new startups fail within the first three years of trading. Franchising gives you the opportunity to get involved in a sector in which you may not have any experience – you receive the guidance, support and knowledge from your franchisor. As a franchisee, your new business already has an established and recognised brand – an invaluable asset. When it comes to employing your team
of carers, they don’t need previous care industry experience. Heritage Healthcare will supply Care Certificate e-learning training for staff to kickstart their care careers. It is then the business owner’s responsibility to continue the appropriate training of their care assistants, with specialist training available for a number of health issues, such as dementia care and end-of-life training. Being able to provide a much-needed
care service to the local community is a rewarding career choice. Heritage Healthcare has business opportunities in many territories across the UK.
