Down to Business Pursuits of Success Opportunity With a Heart Give back to the community through a Seniors Helping Seniors franchise. By Callie Young PHOTOS COURTESY OF SENIORS HELPING SENIORS The U.S. Department of Labor anticipates that eventually more than half of the current work force will care for an older person. With seniors (persons 85 years and older), a fast-growing demographic, the demand for caregivers is also on the rise. One organization that encourages entrepreneurs to fulfill the need for nonmedical elder care is Seniors Helping Seniors. Founded in 1998 by Kiran and Philip Yocom in Reading, Pennsylvania, Seniors Helping Seniors pairs older, active adults willing to provide in-home, nonmedical services with less active seniors in need. Providers help with everything from light housekeeping and running errands to, most importantly, offering valuable companionship. Seniors Helping Seniors was founded on the belief that older adults best understand the challenges of aging and make ideal caretakers and companions because they share a desire to live an independent lifestyle with dignity and respect. Before coming to the U.S. from India, cofounder Kiran Yocom worked with Mother Teresa; that experience inspired her to care for those unable to care for themselves. Successful Seniors Helping Seniors franchise partners operate profitable businesses that bring personal satisfaction derived from providing a valuable service to others. Franchise investment is $45,000 and overhead is low; the most important requirement is the desire to fill a need in the community. Operating in 38 states nationwide, Seniors Helping Seniors franchise partners are able to generate ongoing, repeat business with a broad scope of affordable services administered in the spirit of caring. "It is absolutely possible for us to fill our souls and our pockets at the same time," says Kiran. As the demand for in-home service providers for the aging population continues to grow, establishing a Seniors Helping Seniors franchise is a prime business opportunity with a heart.
