PASADENA – On a cool Thursday in Pasadena, Sam Gopinathan, 45, drove a senior citizen to a doctor's appointment. The new owner of a private non-medical, in-home care franchise, ComForcare Senior Services in Pasadena, was simply going out of his way to add a personal touch for one of his clients. "One thing I've realized is that retired people just really enjoy company and I really enjoy theirs," he said. "I have several caregivers on my staff but I decided to take my client personally."

     

Many of our home care agency clients have asked us the question: “What else can you do for me to compete in my territory. Home care is a crowded space and getting more crowded every day.

Pay Per Click advertising is less affordable by individual companies as large players bid up the cost in each geography. The other hidden factor is that consumers are using this channel less and less.

(ARA) – The catch phrase says it all. Adult children who are caring for their parents while also raising their own family are known as “the sandwich generation.†These caregivers find themselves pulled in many directions — caring for a parent, raising their children, keeping their marriage healthy and often holding down a job as well. On top of all this, adult caregivers are thrust into the awkward and often unwanted position of feeling like they’re parenting their own parents. It can be unsettling to find yourself in this role, says Richard Bitner of Visiting Angels, a national network of franchised non-medical senior homecare agencies. He points out that this reversal in the parenting role can give rise to stress for both parents and caregivers.
