FirstLight HomeCare
FirstLight HomeCare offers comprehensive, in-home, non-medical and personal care services to seniors, new mothers, adults with disabilities and others needing assistance. Based in Cincinnati, Ohio, FirstLight's founders bring more than 111 years of franchising experience and over 79 years of health-care and senior services experience, creating the core of FirstLight's foundation.
FirstLight franchisees are passionate and caring and strive to provide exceptional service. FirstLight creates both a personal avenue to help others as well as a professional opportunity for strong growth potential with corporate support to build a rewarding career path. If you want to make a difference in people's lives while building a powerful business, this is the opportunity for you.
Owning a FirstLight franchise offers the benefits of traditional business ownership with less risk and provides an established business system along with other advantages. Business owners in the home healthcare industry have bright futures. The demand for services in the senior care industry continues to increase each year. In 2011, more than 8,000 people will turn 65 every day and, by the end of that year, the senior population in America will reach nearly 49 million. By 2025, it will grow to nearly 72 million.
