About Qualicare
Qualicare is a franchise system designed for people looking for a business that provides both a strong emotional and financial ROI.
Because of our steadily aging population, the homecare industry is growing quickly with over 22,000 individual agencies and over 60 different franchise brands.
But this also means that differentiating your agency is very difficult. Take a look. When you Google ‘homecare agencies’, you will find many companies making the same kinds of claims with the same kinds of images.
Qualicare’s business model is unique, sophisticated and challenging.
It's based on three pillars:
First, we provide ‘family homecare.’ This means that we develop care plans that consider every member of the patient’s family who is directly impacted. And since each family’s dynamics are different, each Care Plan is different.
Next, Qualicare offers a 360° Approach to homecare where we coordinate and advocate for holistic healthcare solutions.
Finally, all our Care Plans, from simple companion care to complex ALS or dementia care, are reviewed and monitored by a Care Manager.
We provide a higher level of homecare, with a higher level of training of franchisees and their staff.
Qualicare wants franchisees to make a meaningful difference in their community, enjoy being part of the leading edge and are ready to make a serious investment in a great career.
