Seniors make up nearly 13% of the Canadian population and this rapidly growing group has important care needs! Nurse Next Door is currently looking for Franchise Partners who are interested in building a Nurse Next Door franchise into your area’s largest home healthcare provider.Our Franchise Partners are self driven and motivated to build a self sustaining operation. No healthcare experience necessary, we are looking for individuals dedicated to changing how seniors are cared for in their home.
Nurse Next Door was created as a result of the personal experiences of the two co-founders, Ken Sim and John DeHart, trying to find the right caregivers for their family members. The two have since dedicated their lives to making people happier and making life easier for those who have to do the same.
Ken’s wife, pregnant with their first child, encountered unexpected complications and required emergency bed-rest. Meanwhile, John’s grandmother was suffering from dementia. The two had to find caregivers for their families but their search turned up some startling realities.
Finding a quality caregiver apparently wasn’t so easy. Home health care companies were sending caregivers who hadn’t been properly screened. These caregivers, who were supposed to be looking after the most important people in Ken and John’s lives didn’t have criminal record checks, reference checks or even medical examinations conducted. In one case, a company sent a caregiver who hadn’t even been interviewed into Ken’s home!
Based on their personal experiences, Ken and John decided to start a home healthcare company that would provide high quality services that could help improve the lives of those struggling with sick or aging family members. Milton Wong joined them as their Chairman and Mentor with the mission to build a world class home health care services organization dedicated to providing senior care in the communities across Canada.
The two young entrepreneurs bought two cell phones, hired six caregivers, occupied a table at a local Starbucks and started to build their vision of a leading home healthcare company committed to improving the quality of life of their clients.
Since starting the company more than 5 years ago, Ken and John have built Nurse Next Door into BC’s largest home health care company and have it poised to become an industry leader North America wide. The two have spent the last five years dedicated to building a world class organization and making senior’s lives better one visit at a time!
This is where we really stand out. Named a top employer both locally and nationally - we get the people business. You will not find another health care organization like us. Our culture has made us a brand to be reckoned with. Culture is why we are becoming famous for our legendary customer service. Having a top culture will help you attract talent - because people will love working for you - and clients as a result.
We make it easy
Running a homecare business is challenging. It's highly administrative with a lot of employees who change schedules daily, servicing clients whose schedules and needs also change daily. And this happens 7 days a week. It's no wonder so many home care business owners burn out before they can achieve maximum success.
We handle the scheduling needs for you 24/7. You can rest your head on your pillow at night and not worry about the phone ringing. You don't have to spend your weekends scheduling - we want you rested so that you hit Monday morning fresh. You'll be able to focus on building your business, not maintaining it.
We are the ONLY company in the world that provides this service to their franchise partners.
We are fanatical about our support
When we launched our franchise system, we researched every great franchise company. We mapped out the ultimate support model based on our findings. Many competitors are woefully lacking in this area. Even the ones that are good at training often leave their franchisees alone once it's complete.
We also knew you couldn't learn this business in a 1-week training program. As a result, we developed our intensive business-coaching program. When you join our family, you are assigned a coach. Your coach will walk you through the start up process step-by-step as you grow the business from start up to fully-operational. Once you have been operational for 1 year, the relationship evolves into more of an analysis of specific functions. Your call (now every 2 weeks) will delve into aspects of your business to help you get better.
Meet your Franchise Support Team:
- The Start Up Specialist - To help you through the first year of operations
- The "Grow Right, Grow Fast" Coach - To help the more seasoned partners transition from start up to building a more strategic business
- The Business Intelligence Coach - To help you focus on the metrics and financial performance of your business when you need it. (AKA the "help you make more money" coach)
- The PR professional - Dedicated to help you (and the brand) land media opportunities in print, radio, television and online
- The Analytics Team - To analyze your business performance and help you through key decisions as you scale your business
- The "Accelerate" Business Coach - For when you need that extra push and in-depth strategy to get you through a challenging cycle
This doesn't even include our founders and the support they will provide -try finding a company our size that does that!
