SENIOR CARE FRANCHISING
CARING ABOUT OUR FUTURE “There is a wonderful mythical law of nature that the three things we crave most in life — happiness, freedom, and peace of mind — are always attained by giving them to someone else.” – Peyton Conway March

make their service more resilient and responsive to changing senior care needs. Technology, for example, played a big role. Franchises looked to digital solutions for care needs like client assessments,
caregiver recruitment, administration and so on, allowing for more flexible arrangements for both clients and staff.
