Careat home

If you’re ready to be your own boss and make a difference in the lives of those who need help the most, you can start now with SYNERGY HomeCare.

home is where our heart is

as the population of aging adults continues to increase, the need for non-medical home care is on the rise. However, it’s not only a senior population that is fueling this demand. there are working parents needing help with childcare, individuals recuperating from illness or injury, Caregivers needing respite, and others. Whether it’s assistance with homemaking or personal care*, or the comfort of companionship, SyNerGy HomeCare can help.

Since 2002, SyNerGy HomeCare has been changing lives with personalized and comprehensive home care plans that allow people to maintain their quality of life and independence. We start with a Careteam that includes an administrator, representative, manager and Caregiver—available to each Client at all hours. We screen our Caregivers carefully, and then we make sure we have the right fit for each Client’s needs. Our local and long-distance care plans afford peace of mind to everyone involved in a loved one’s care.

We’ve built a successful business based on quality, care and compassion. We’re proud to extend franchising opportunities to entrepreneurs eager to help those in need and who want to

leverage the potential of this expanding market.

*Personal care plans vary according to state regulations.

Dramatic shifts in our society have created a pressing demand for home care. Prior to the 1970s, most families had only one wage earner. that meant someone was usually available to assist elderly parents or care for children. things look different today, as the majority of families in the u.S. have two wage earners who must rely on outside help for those at home. Furthermore, careers keep many family members far away, making it difficult for them to care for loved ones from a distance.

the graceful aging of america is the biggest trend affecting home care in coming years. there are more people approaching 65 than ever, and they’re likely to live longer than their ancestors. The first wave of baby boomers turns 65 in 2011. By 2030, one out of every five Americans will be over the age of 65, representing more than 70 million people. at some point, 85% of these people will require some assistance at home. as the senior population grows, Medicare is expected to reduce the funding available to patients in assisted living facilities. this will drive even more demand for home care services.

By 2030, seniors in the U.S. will represent 20 percent of the population, or 72 million people.

SYNERGY HomeCare’s type of service is exactly what I required for my situation. I desperately needed someone to stay and care for my father when my mom was hospitalized. SYNERGY HomeCare’s services continued after my mom returned home and recovered from her illness. SYNERGY HomeCare services allowed my parents to remain at home rather than go into a nursing home. Thank you. - Greg M., Sioux City, Iowa

to be the premier provider of home care services by always striving to offer the highest quality of life and independence that is attainable to our Clients. Our success starts by treating each of our Clients and Caregivers with the dignity and respect they deserve.

We looked at many different franchises in the non-medical homecare industry before choosing SYNERGY. The most important thing we were looking for during the selection process was a company that we not only trusted but viewed us as more than just another franchisee. SYNERGY offered expertise in the field of non-medical home care; the marketing materials and training that SYNERGY had to offer were so much more advanced than those of other franchises. It would have taken me months or even years to create this on my own. With SYNERGY,I was going into business FOR myself but not BY myself.

the heart and soul of SyNerGy HomeCare are nested in one man’s vision. Peter tourian dreamed of owning his own business from an early age. after a career in law enforcement, he set out to pursue that dream. His desire to help others motivated him to start SYNERGY Staffing, a healthcare-staffing agency, in 1999. He quickly realized the increasing need for a business model that could better address all the requests for home care. inspired to help an aging population live independently, he founded SyNerGy HomeCare in 2002. two years later, tourian began offering franchise opportunities to like-minded entrepreneurs committed to providing high-quality home care.

tourian continues to shape the industry as a founding board member of the Private Duty Home Care association and chairman of the legislation and advocacy sub-committee, which oversees licensing homecare agencies throughout the country.

Our reputation and brand integrity have an immediate impact on our franchisees’ success.

At one time, I wondered why I just couldn’t start a home care business on my own and not invest into a franchise concept like SYNERGY HomeCare. After my franchise training, I now know that it would have been extremely overwhelming and a monumental venture to do it on my own. The SYNERGY HomeCare system is amazing!
