Visiting Angels: a homecare provider that is diff erent from all others


T


he only care franchise that adopts a ‘carer-centric’ philosophy, ensuring caregivers are


looked after so they can help those most in need. Visiting Angels was established


in the US in 1998 and is a global care giant with community- based values. Today, the home care franchise is one of the largest care franchises in America and proudly

Visiting Angels believe that to truly be successful in this pursuit, and to change the future of social care in the UK, carers must be positioned at the heart of the business. For without them, there is no business. Visiting Angels recognises that their business model and carer-centric values tackle major problems faced by business owners in the homecare sector – recruitment and retention. For them, the caregivers are the most important people – for without them there is no business. By keeping these values at the centre, Visiting Angels have built a network of franchisees across the country


“ nchisees create coercially successful businesses that change the lives of eve one involved”


supports 800+ franchisees across fi ve countries. Visiting Angels proudly


acknowledge that their approach to business is different to anything you’ll have seen in the franchise care space until now. In addition to being carer centric, the model isn’t based on building a network of hundreds of franchisees, but a belief in quality over quantity. Visiting Angels chooses to


challenge the status quo and creates an opportunity for caregivers and clients alike to benefi t from a new kind of care company. In doing so, franchisees create commercially successful businesses that


and have maintained an exceptional staff retention rate. Setting up a care business is


a complex process. That’s why Visiting Angels are with you every step of the way. And this is where international size and scale really comes into its own – Visiting Angels have honed the support they offer a vast network of franchisees over the years, and now, bring the very best to you. Over 25 years of success has given Visiting Angels plenty of time and knowledge to hone their business approach. A global network of more than 850 franchisees, spanning North America, the UK, and South Korea, is the result. More


than 25,000 clients rely on Visiting Angels’ extraordinary caregivers on a global scale. Nicky Goodall, Managing


Director of Visiting Angels North Shropshire talks about her experience with the franchise: “I worked for another homecare provider and thought that there was still more work to be done in the care sector and in a better way. I found Visiting Angels after a bit of research and then decided that the ethos to be carer-centric matched our vision of what we wanted to achieve. The training and support provided by the head offi ce is exceptional and the team visits us regularly and calls us to see how we are and whether we need assistance.”
