Daily Life of a Franchisee
Home Instead’s franchisees become thought leaders in their communities, acting as the conduits through which Home Instead can achieve its mission to change the face of ageing. An average day involves managerial duties, good communication with employees (caregivers and a care manager) and clients, and active networking within the community, to raise local profile of the model and build links with key charities, organisations and local figureheads.
