Best Senior Care Franchises to Buy in 2021

Before the COVID-19 pandemic, the senior care industry was already facing a rapidly aging population curve dubbed the “silver tsunami.” Health care officials predict an influx of demand for home care since many individuals over 65 will favor aging at home rather than in nursing homes or other long-term care facilities. In 2021, the value of quality, safe in-home senior care only became more apparent as the pandemic made inpatient medical care a risky bet for seniors.
