Interim HealthCare has served diverse communities in the United States since its founding in 1966. It currently operates in many states, boasting over 300 franchises that provide some of the best medical, hospice, and in-home care for thousands of individuals yearly.

Interim HealthCare also has a large international presence, with over 250 franchise locations outside of the United States.

Interim HealthCare is a key player in one of America’s most important industries and was one of the country’s very first nationwide home care franchises. They take pride in taking a well-rounded approach to care through the mind, body, spirit.

As a senior care franchisee, you may have the opportunity to make a positive difference in people’s lives, all while being able to take care of yourself, your family, and your dreams.

Why You May Want to Start an Interim HealthCare Franchise

Interim HealthCare may have a great advantage for you in its ability to offer the option to open both home care and hospice services simultaneously. This can occur in one or multiple locations. Competitors can usually only work in either home care or hospice services at a time, potentially making Interim HealthCare an enticing franchise for BIZ Experiencess.

The franchise’s support team strives to be one of the best in the industry. With over five decades of experience, it’s not surprising they have taken time to work to develop revolutionary techniques in building in-home care franchises and in making each new member of the family feel at home.

More than anything, the franchise wishes to stay true to its core values of integrity and empathy. If you take the time to look around and consider other home care franchises, it may be easy to see how Interim HealthCare’s proven commitment to such ideals is hard to come by.

What Might Make an Interim HealthCare Franchise a Good Choice?

Interim HealthCare has been ranked in BIZ Experiences’s Franchise 500 many times in the past decade. This ranking is based on an evaluation of more than 150 data points in the areas of costs and fees, size and growth, franchisee support, brand strength, and financial strength and stability.

To be part of the Interim Healthcare team, you should make sure you’re financially ready for an initial investment made up of a franchise fee and other startup costs. You should also prepare yourself for ongoing fees that will include advertising, royalty, and potential renewal fees. Franchisees will also need to meet the company's set net worth and liquid capital requirements.

Interim HealthCare’s expertise in providing medical, health, and hospice staffing services may go unquestioned. And no matter your background or experience, the franchise has a dedicated team to make sure you are well-trained and your transition to day-to-day management is smooth as silk.
