If the earliest eligibility age for Social Security retirement benefits remains 62, rising life expectancy will increase the number of years older adults receive benefits.

When we look at the statistics, the number of Americans ages 65 and older will more than double over the next 40 years, reaching 80 million in 2040. The number of adults ages 85 and older, the group most often needing help with basic personal care, will nearly quadruple between 2000 and 2040.The

Declining fertility rates partly account for population aging. The total fertility rate — the number of children women bear — plummeted during the Great Depression in the 1930s and then soared in the 1950s after World War II (producing what we know as the "baby boom" cohort). Fertility then declined steeply until the mid 1970s. The total fertility rate increased slightly after 1975 and now stands at about 2.1, roughly the minimum rate needed to maintain population size without any net immigration.
nation is aging. By 2040, about one in five Americans will be age 65 or older, up from about one in eight in 2000. Because younger people are much more likely than older people to work and pay taxes that finance Social Security, Medicare, and all other public-sector activities, population aging could strain government budgets. The number of workers sharing the cost of supporting Social Security beneficiaries will soon plummet unless future employment patterns change dramatically. The latest Social Security Administration projections indicate that there will be 2.1 workers per Social Security beneficiary in 2040, down from 3.7 in 1970.
being addressed is diabetic neuropathy. This innovative franchise is taking the demands of the modern world and utilizing the franchise model to create a scalable business that has immediate demand in every market.
PERIPHERAL NEUROPATHY
Improvements in life expectancy have also propelled the increase in the older population. Between 1900 and 1960, life expectancy at birth increased from 51 years to 74 years for men and from 58 years to 80 years for women, primarily through reductions in infant, childhood, and early adult mortality. Longevity gains since 1960, fueled by declining death rates at older ages, have been slower, especially for women. Life expectancy's future course is uncertain but could grow dramatically. Some experts claim that half of girls born today will live until age 100 (Vaupel 2000).

They also carry signals from the CNS to the rest of the body. Best known are the signals to the muscles that tell them to contract, which is how we move, but there are different types of signals that help control everything from our heart and blood vessels, digestion, urination, sexual function, to our bones and immune system. The peripheral nerves are like the cables that connect the different parts of a computer or connect the Internet. When they malfunction, complex functions can grind to a halt.

AARP found that 77% of adults 50 and older want to age in place, i.e., stay in their homes as they get older rather than more in with family or assisted living.

The Pew Research Center reported that more than 40 million Americans are helping family members over the age of 65. Their assistance is uncompensated, but most doing it report that they find the work rewarding and not stressful. This is despite the fact that six out of 10 people providing unpaid caregiving are also working full-time.

The services offered by a home care franchise can vary from business to business and location to location. Some of the typical services offered may include:
• Companionship that provides engagement and alleviates feelings of loneliness that can occur.
A REWARDING BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY
For many entrepreneurs, owning their own business allows them to achieve a longed-for dream. But for those that opt for a franchise in the home care industry, they are not only able to realize their goal of being their own boss, but they are doing so while also confident that they are truly helping people and their families.Ontop of the knowledge that you are truly helping others as a senior care franchise owner, franchisees are part of a growing industry that is projected to grow from $100 billion in 2016 to $225 billion by 2024 in the U.S. In fact, the senior care industry has been a consistent investment market for years, growing 20% every 10 years.

The demand for self-care health and wellness options will continue to increase for the foreseeable future.
With relatively low start-up costs, and a great system to support franchisees, I see LIVE Hydration Spa as a great option for any entrepreneur looking to capitalize on the enormous growth in the self-care market!
One such business is LIVE Hydration Spa. LIVE was founded by two medical professionals, Casey Kuhl, APRN and Felicia Janovich, RN, BSN. After opening their own locations in Nebraska, Casey and Felicia saw an opportunity to serve more communities and more people by becoming a franchise company. In just a few short years, they have sold over 70 territories in 11 states. By the end of the year, they will already have nearly 20 locations open and operating!
The bottom line is that more and more people are taking control of driving what impacts their overall health! To meet this demand, a number of Franchise concepts have evolved. These include brands that focus on Fitness, Anti-aging, Massage, Weight Loss, Mental Health, Med Spas, NonSurgical Regeneration, and IV Hydration, just to name some. These concepts are seeing increased demand, higher revenue, and increased profitability as people become more educated about the options available to them.

• Improve Workout Prep/ Post Workout Recovery
• Boost General Wellness
One of the fastest growing concepts is that of Intravenous (IV) Hydration. According to information from two of the IV Hydration franchise brands that I work with, the biggest health advantages are that the nutrients are delivered directly to cells through the bloodstream and that vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients are quickly circulated and absorbed through IV therapy to your bloodstream. Administering nutrients through an IV allows them to be immediately available for your body’s use.

But he found himself thinking about validity of franchising and the benefits it had, after growing A Place At Home with Dustin.

and Dustin started their senior care business, A Place At Home, back in 2012. They were originally motivated to take care of their grandparents and great grandparents. While they always thought they would eventually scale their business, when they first started, they weren’t too sure what that would look like. They just knew they wanted to help others.

scaling continued turning based on natural expansion. Eventually, they needed to come up with a Business Plan Proforma (covering their earnings, without certain nonrecurring expenses). It was time to be a little more deliberate about the company, rather than constantly adjusting to everyone’s needs as they developed.

SENIOR CARE
Are You Looking to Franchise Your Business
This portion required some help, and good systems were essential. Senior care is super competitive and having ideal systems in place could help them push the envelope. To accomplish this, they researched many different operational systems to see what best fit their style of management and leadership. This allowed them to narrow in on Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), key roles, tasks, and specific numbers for all of their franchisees to follow. They also had to come up with a solid vision on growth, which they did.
MARKET ANALYSIS
Now that they were looking into growing their business,
this required a market analysis. They needed to look at which markets their business would do well and which ones it wouldn’t. And they needed to figure out how well their services would perform in the various markets where they could start offering franchise units.They also had to factor in the senior-care franchising market. As mentioned before, this industry is competitive. They needed to see what they were going up against. Also, they needed to make sure they were remaining competitive in terms of royalties, fees, territory sizzes, education, and other factors that their competitors wereAgain,offering.discussing this with multiple experts is essential.

A Place At Home had a couple of locations open, had managers in place. Of course, getting those in place comes with some concern. For instance, on a Friday evening when ready to go home for the day, if you receive a call for a new client, and your manager was about to go home for the weekend, an hourly manager likely wouldn’t be as apt to stay any longer or work through the weekend signing and staffing the new client. However, an owner (or franchisee) would have much more stake in the game. When that’s the case, staying longer for a new client is all about securing a new income stream, and in their case, making sure a senior received the care they needed, when they needed it. Ideally, this meant people in such a role would not be turning down business on Friday nights.
WWW.FRANCHISEJOURNAL.COM | SEPTEMBER 2022 37
Jerod was able to see that additional units or locations would be in better hands if they had franchisees with stake in the game who cared about the quality of service provided and the satisfaction of their staff. Now that they had a better idea of how franchisees would be involved, they would need to solidify their policies and procedures. This required them taking a step back so they could have more time to prepare everything.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
you, throughout the US, that remains the case. Jerod and Dustin figured they could, too! Jerod just needed to make certain that they were doing it differently than everybody else in the senior care industry— which had a lot of players in it already. So he got to work researching about franchising and solidifying their core differentiators.
A Place At Home was already profitable. They were already growing. But they needed to find out how they would remain profitable without them directly running the business. So they had to remove themselves from dayto-day operations and work towards releasing some control of their current units.

Throughout my childhood I was focused on one goal, becoming an attorney. That goal became a reality and I worked as an attorney in Washington, D.C. for nearly 20 years. While my career was fruitful, I wasn’t personally fulfilled. Unfortunately, I no longer felt the value of the work I was doing. Like many, the pandemic caused me to pause and take stock of my personal and professional life. I was no longer content and I decided pursue a new goal, in an entirely new city.
After nearly two decades of working in an environment that was highly competitive and often unrewarding, I am lucky to have the opportunity to do work that matters to me. We at Homewatch CareGivers of Lewisville will see you and hear you and you will know that the work we do for you matters to us!

Founded as a salvage resale business in 2007 by cofounders Casey and Dustin Ridley’s uncle, the business model made a monumental shift when they added cabinet options. With Casey, who has been involved in the family business since he was 10, in charge of the sales and design side of business, and Dustin, who owned his own custom cabinet installation business before joining The Designery, overseeing construction & installation, The Designery has all of the in-house expertise needed to offer a unique customer experience.

The treatment uses red and infrared wavelengths that fall between 650 to 980 nanometers (nm). These wavelengths penetrate the skin and soft or hard tissues, and your body’s cells absorb the light energy and convert it into cell energy. Only dormant cells and tissues absorb the light energy, leaving the healthy cells unaffected. While surgical lasers use around 300 watts to cut through the skin, therapy laser devices use up to 28 watts.

Instead of selling the homes where their families grew up to move to retirement communities or assisted living facilities, more older people are deciding instead to age in place.
Whether an older person wants to age in place in their own home or move into the home of a child or relative, there are often many areas in a home that companies can modify for them. Similarly, when a child or spouse becomes disabled, you can offer them conductedAmericanAgingInPlace.org,updatedAccordingadaptations.toarecentlyarticleonthe2015HousingSurveybytheU.S.Census
Products you could offer in this industry include stairlifts, ramps, scooter carriers, mobility scooters, elevators, vertical platform lifts and more, as well as the services provided by installers, dealers and distributors.Whileitmay not be what most would consider a “sexy” industry, I expect this market segment to expand even more rapidly as the United States sees a shift in demographics and demand increases.

1. THERE ARE MORE OLDER PEOPLE.
Factors Influencing The Accessibility and Mobility Solutions Industry
SENIOR CARE 5
I have already seen the positive impact this shift has had on the mobility and accessibility solutions industry, and I expect it will only increase as the aging population continues to grow.
Let’s explore some of the key factors influencing the mobility solutions industry and how to determine if it's the right industry for you.
According to the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2017 National Population Projections, all baby boomers will be older than 65 by 2030. For the first time in history, older people are projected to outnumber minors by 2034, and experts predict that 77 million people will be over the age of 65 in the United States by 2034.
2. MORE OF THESE AMERICANS ARE CHOOSING TO AGE IN PLACE. Not only will the coming years see greater numbers of older Americans, but a growing trend is also making the mobility solutions industry even more appealing.
meet the needs of a dynamic spectrum of people with varying degrees and types of disabilities that result in mobility and accessibility challenges.
3. YOU CAN OFFER A VARIETY MODIFICATIONS.OF
According to a 2014 AARP survey (via HomeCare), 87% of those over 65 want to age in place.Anentire realm of education and advice about this has developed, on which entrepreneurs can capitalize. For example, the National Institute on Aging offers material on costs, concerns and issues related to aging in place.
Another factor that can quietly drive your success in this industry is the spirit of the people behind your business.
Bureau looked at 118,290 homes, only 36,845 of which were one-story homes; 66,534 reported that steps were necessary to access their homes from the outside. But even flat floors and narrow doorways can make life tough.
At first blush, an outsider might think of the mobility and accessibility solutions business as profiting from the misfortunes or problems of others. The reality, however, is quite the contrary. The need exists, regardless of how unfortunate, and someone has to provide the necessary solutions. When you build a business that addresses the needs of a growing population, everyone can benefit.
4. SERVICE IS A NECESSARY, ONGOING HUMAN COMPONENT. The equipment and products themselves are just some of the solutions you can offer. The people for whom these products are designed need help. Consider providing installation services as a vital part of a comprehensive solution that provides the help theyConsiderneed. the example of a wheelchair-bound customer who lives in a house with four steps at the front door. This affects the life of the disabled resident as well as friends, families and caregivers who must be present to lift the wheelchair up and down the steps.Asa mobility solutions provider, you should be able to dispatch an installer promptly to efficiently install a lift or ramp to become a trusted goto in the Successarea.and longevity in this industry will also require you to provide ongoing service and support, including routine maintenance beyond the sale and installation.

"As Pause steps into franchising, we are excited to begin working with their team to develop the brand and help them to grow nationwide," said Nick Sheehan from REP'M Group. "Pause has had incredible success over the past five years with consistent and continued growth during the turmoil of COVID. The brand has continued to grow its revenue and has made tremendous steps toward becoming a nationwide wellness studio. We are excited to be able to partner with such an innovative brand like Pause and help take them to the forefront of mental and physical wellness."
Co-founded in 2016 by former Equinox executives Jeff Ono and John Klein, Pause Studio was created to help people “press pause” in their daily lives. With stress known as the health epidemic of the 21st Century, Ono felt firsthand how stress affected his daily life as a soon-to-be father of twins and corporate executive. After feeling overwhelming levels of burnout and anxiety, Ono turned to floatation therapy in 2014, and for the first time in years, felt refreshed, clear, and balanced. Since then, Ono and Klein have worked to design a wellness experience that was warm, clean, welcoming, and attainable for people from all walks of life. Ono and Klein believe that everyone needs a counter-balance to this 24/7 connectivity that has engulfed society.
