Concept Description
AmeriCare is a leading home care service provider for adults of all ages in need of lifestyle support. Founded in 2004 with franchised locations across the United States, AmeriCare provides a range of services that encompass short-term options such as recovering from a surgery or accident, to long-term non-medical care like bathing and getting dressed, to helping with the chores and chauffer services to appointments and shopping.
Our franchise brand is a non-medical in-home model primarily serving private pay clients. We have a very unique and proprietary rapid client enrollment program that has been successful in setting up franchisee’s with appointments with potential referral sources. This has led up to a very quick ramp up for our franchisees.
Something else of note, AmeriCare is under the umbrella of a multi-brand franchisor and has excellent synergy with the marketing and advertising sister company, City Publications. City Publications are experts with customer acquisition and lead generation, so being able to leverage that expertise with AmeriCare franchisees allows them to ramp up quickly!
Testimonials
Marty, Clayton, & Ashley, ameriCARE Area Representatives Northwest Texas
“I have been taking care of Seniors for over 20 years – primarily in facility settings: Memory Care, Skilled Nursing, Rehab, Long-term Care, Assisted Living, and Independent Living. I decided I was providing services that no one wants. No one wants to go to the Nursing Home.
Finding Home Care as an alternative re-energized me and my career. I now care for others and provide services so they never have to be put in a ‘facility’. ameriCARE Arizona continues to grow and we are able to positively impact the lives of many clients.”
David, ameriCARE Arizona Area Representative
