Business Thriving Despite Recession; Workshops on Starting Private Duty Home Care Agency

For anyone interested in starting a business with tremendous growth potential, on March 9 in Sacramento and March 12 in Buena Park, the California Association for Healthcare Services at Home (CAHSAH) is sponsoring two seminars entitled “Private Duty from the Ground Up: Beginning Level Industry Experience.”

Sacramento, CA, March 05, 2009 --(PR.com)-- Despite economic woes, the time has never been more ideal to start a home care agency. As many seniors are unable to sell their homes in the faltering real estate market, a new option of aging in place is more accessible – and popular – than ever. Additionally, the number of aging Baby Boomers presents a burgeoning market of new opportunities. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics recently forecasted the personal and home care aides job category to be the second fastest growing job group in the nation over the next decade. In California, the number of personal and home care aides jobs is projected to increase 27 percent by 2016.

For anyone interested in starting a business with tremendous growth potential, on March 9 in Sacramento and March 12 in Buena Park, the California Association for Healthcare Services at Home (CAHSAH) is sponsoring two seminars entitled “Private Duty from the Ground Up: Beginning Level Industry Experience.”

These day-long, activity-based basic beginners’ level workshops serve as a great starting place for those interested in founding a private duty home care agency or for adding private duty services to an existing business model. The workshops will be presented by the Home Care Spectrum Group (www.homecarespectrum.com) which is a strategic partnership of industry leaders Lucy Andrews, RN, MS, CHHA; Merrily Orsini, MSSW; and Melanie Stover, OTR/L, MBA, MS/ISM.

“Those desiring entrepreneurship have an incredible cost-effective option for starting a business that has a good outlook for being successful, even during a recession,” said Orsini, a past Entrepreneur of the Year award winner. “It is a great opportunity to spend an entire day with three industry experts absorbing information on how to run a private duty business profitably from the get go.”

The workshops take place from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Monday, March 9 in Sacramento at the Sheraton Grand Hotel and on Thursday, March 12 at Knott’s Berry Farm Resort in Buena Park. To register or for more information, please visit http://www.cahsah.org/educational_events/09PrivateDutyWorkshop.asp.
