National Franchise Expands Rapidly in Recession

Stay at Home Offers the Perfect Recession-Proof Business Model for “Compassionate Entrepreneurs”

National Franchise Expands Rapidly in Recession
Knoxville, TN, April 01, 2009 --(PR.com)-- Stay at Home, the national network that offers dependable and affordable in-home care to the elderly and those recovering from illness or injury, has seen a sharp increase in franchise inquiries from the Baby Boom generation (Individuals born between 1949 and 1964.)

John Batcheller, president of Stay at Home, attributes the growth in operations to several economic and personal factors. “Many of the people who contact us have already been successful in business and they are ready to transition to a more meaningful way of life,“ he notes. “With the economy in a difficult downturn, many smart and caring individuals are looking for a way to supplement their incomes and make a difference in their communities.”

Timing and need have come together to produce a perfect “storm” of opportunity for compassionate entrepreneurs. With the skyrocketing costs for inpatient care in hospitals and nursing homes and the declining economy, many elderly individuals cannot afford traditional nursing home option. According to an AARP survey, many elderly people prefer to stay in the familiar surroundings of their own homes. “This is where we come in,” says Batcheller. “We help seniors and those recovering from injury or illness in the every day tasks of living, such as transportation to and from appointments, grocery shopping, preparation of nutritious meals, light duty housekeeping, personal reminders, and companionship.” By providing these services at a reasonable cost, Stay at Home is seeing a rise in demand for its services.

Along with a rise in demand for its services, Stay at Home is seeing a rise in applications for franchises. “The steps to ownership are exclusive and the screening process is rigorous,” explains Batcheller. Candidates cannot purchase a franchise without successfully passing a number of qualifying tests and interviews. “Our mission,” says Batcheller, “is to equip compassionate entrepreneurs with the opportunity to do well for themselves by doing good for others.” Once a franchise has been awarded, Stay at Home provides a proven business model, extensive training, tools, support, and coaching to ensure success. Current franchise owners are now operating at capacity in four states in one of the fastest growing industries—home care.
