 Is experience in the industry necessary?

No.  While experience in the industry is helpful it is certainly not necessary. To invest in a Home Helpers franchise, you do not need any previous home care or medical experience.  The services will be provided by Caregivers you hire who already have the personality and desire to do the work. We offer non-medical and personal care that does not involve medical services. Everything you will be required to know about operating a respected and profitable business will be provided through our extensive training program and ongoing support.
