As a hurricane approached Florida, Deak arranged for his parents to evacuate to Michigan on one of the last flights before the airport closed. Unfortunately, his mother missed a curb while disembarking from a shuttle bus, resulting in a fall that broke her humerus. She spent several days in the hospital. This incident marked the beginning of significant challenges for his mother and deeply impacted Deak’s perspective on the importance of quality home care.“It was particularly challenging because she had been retired for about 10 years. She was very independent. She was playing golf with her friends several days a week,” said Deak. “And now, all of a sudden, her right arm was broken, which was her dominant hand. Things that used to be so simple for her — like fixing her hair — she couldn’t do anymore."Watching her struggle with daily tasks, Deak recognized the importance of providing quality support for seniors who wish to remain in their homes but need assistance. This personal experience became the driving force behind Home Halo, shaping the company’s mission to provide compassionate care while empowering families and caregivers to make a meaningful impact.“It was something that just clicked inside of me,” said Deak. “I was doing this for a different reason now, other than just to have a cool business and make some money. I could feel the impacts of what we were doing firsthand.”&nbsp;<h3>A Different Approach to Caregiver Recruitment</h3>For Deak, hiring caregivers isn’t just about filling positions — it’s about finding people who share the same passion for helping others that he does. This philosophy stems directly from his own experiences caring for his mother and observing the kind of support she needed most."Imagine that the caregiver you're sitting across the table from is the person who will be working with your mom and dad. When you frame it from that perspective, it changes who you're going to let into your system and sets a higher standard for the care you provide."This personal connection has influenced the rigorous standards Home Halo sets for hiring, ensuring that every caregiver is someone franchisees and families can trust.<h3>Addressing Reluctance to Seek Help</h3>Deak’s mother, like many seniors, was initially reluctant to accept help. This reluctance to ask for assistance is a common barrier in the home care industry, particularly among veterans and fiercely independent seniors. Home Halo’s approach focuses on making clients feel comfortable and supported without compromising their sense of independence."My mom is a fiercely independent person, and to this day, she refuses help — even something as simple as having someone clean her house,” said Deak. “People feel like asking for help means admitting they’ve lost independence and that’s a big barrier, especially for veterans who are incredibly self-sufficient and resourceful."This understanding shapes the training Home Halo offers to franchisees and caregivers, helping them recognize and address the emotional challenges clients face. By focusing on empathy and support, the company ensures that every client feels respected and valued.<h3>Communicating a Mission-Driven Vision to Franchisees</h3>"I share my personal story and the reasons why I do what I do with every franchisee. Home care isn’t easy — you have to have a big ‘WHY,’” said Deak. “Your reason for doing this has to be bigger than any challenges that come your way, and that’s what I emphasize in every interaction."Home Halo’s comprehensive support system ensures franchisees are equipped to succeed, but Deak stresses that passion and purpose are the foundation of long-term success in the home care industry.<h3>A Legacy Built on Compassion</h3>Deak’s experience caring for his mother directly shaped the vision and purpose behind Home Halo. His personal journey drives the company’s mission while serving as an inspiration for franchisees and caregivers, creating a deeper sense of purpose within the business."I think it’s woven into everything we do," said Deak. "Whether it’s recruiting, bringing on clients or talking to referral sources, it all comes back to knowing your WHY and understanding the needs we’re trying to meet."Under Deak’s leadership, Home Halo addresses the growing demand for senior and veteran care while empowering families to navigate the challenges of home care with compassion and confidence.To find out more information on costs to buy this franchise, please visit&nbsp;<a href="https://homehalofranchising.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=dan-deaks-personal-journey-from-caring-son-to-home-halo-ceo-2728983" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://homehalofranchising.com/.</a>&nbsp;
