SUNRISE, Fla., Interim
HealthCare, the nation's first and finest home healthcare
franchise company
announced today the grand opening of its location in Langhorne,
Pennsylvania.
Local owner, Jim Turner, is furthering his entrepreneurial spirit and passion toward helping those in his community by opening an Interim HealthCare franchise. A grand opening celebration for the entire community will take place at the Langhorne Interim HealthCare office located on 580 Middletown Blvd, Suite 240 on Thursday, October 13th from 4:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.
The office provides a variety of services including the company's unique, HomeLife Enrichment(SM) program, which provides an experience that engages seniors and allows them to contribute to a lifestyle that is not only safe and independent, but one that is enriched with meaning and self-worth. In addition, the Langhorne Interim HealthCare location also offers personal care services including transportation, meal preparation, light housekeeping, bathing and grooming.
"After working in the home care business for 25 years and working with Interim, I was very impressed at their quality of service. So when I learned that a new franchise territory was available, I immediately jumped at the chance," said franchise owner Jim Turner. "Homecare is a very important component of the care continuum and I'm very excited to be a part of a franchise where I know I can make a difference."
As the first wave of baby boomers turn 65 this year, the senior care industry is rapidly becoming one of the fastest-growing franchise businesses. According to a recent study from the Pew Research Center, over the next 19 years about 10,000 people will turn 65 each day, resulting in a grayer America by 2030.(1) This statistic, coupled with the demand for less expensive, out of the hospital care has been drawing new people to the senior care franchise segment, which was initially established by Interim HealthCare in 1966.
"We are delighted to welcome Jim Turner into Interim HealthCare family," said Kathleen Gilmartin, CEO of Interim HealthCare. "The growing elderly population and expanded home care market is becoming a great niche for those interested in franchising, helping us to expand our reach and help those in need."
With a network of more than 300 independently owned franchises across the country, Interim HealthCare franchises include non-medical and personal care, nursing and healthcare staffing services. The system has over a 40-year history within the healthcare industry and many of their franchisees have an average tenure of 24 years.
