Why Launch An Interim HealthCare Hospice Franchise Instead of Buying A Business Outright
The hospice, home healthcare and in-home medical care industries are growing. This means that there is more demand for this type of service than ever before.

Why does it make more sense to launch a new franchise vs. buying a business?

- You will receive greater marketing support, operational guidance and training for a proven model that you know has a high chance of success.
- You’ll receive instant assistance when it comes to regulatory compliance and conquering the mountains of red tape that await healthcare business owners.
- You’ll have access to the latest technology, meaning you can hit the ground running with higher efficiency than other companies who may need to update outdated recordkeeping or software systems.

As a multi-million dollar industry, the hospice and home health industry is booming. It’s currently a 34 billion dollar industry and it’s only expected to grow over the next five years. The reasons for this are many, but one of the biggest factors has to do with our aging population as more baby boomers reach retirement age, which means that there is an increasing number of people who will need home healthcare assistance – thus opening up more opportunities for those looking to invest in this part of the health care sector.
Specialized care
It is important to note that hospice care is a specialized service, and that not all franchises in the senior care industry provide hospice services. Hospice is an alternative to hospital care, focused on creating the best quality of life for patients who are no longer responding well to treatment. Unlike traditional services, which focus on treating illness with advanced technology, hospice focuses on creating a comfortable environment while helping patients live their remaining days to the fullest. Interim HealthCare has been in business for 57 years and leads the way as the #1 Ranked Senior Care franchise in the country.
