Bluebird Care is flying high, thanks to its person-centred franchise proposition
According to Age UK’s 2019 Later Life report, there are nearly 12 million people aged 65 and above in the UK. By 2030, it’s predicted that one in five people in the UK will be in this age group.
So what does this mean for the care sector? It means that demand will only keep on increasing.
Home comforts
Understandably, many older people would prefer to stay in the comfort of their own homes for as long as they can.
Home doesn’t just mean a place to lay their heads; it represents independence, stability and flexibility. Perhaps most importantly, a home is filled with a lifetime of memories, raising a child, family Christmases or spending many happy years together with a partner.
The ongoing pandemic has given many even more reasons to find ways to keep their loved ones in their homes as long as possible. By receiving care in the safety and comfort of their own home, they will limit their exposure to a trusted carer or teams of carers who can attend to their needs, whether that’s collecting their groceries, cooking a meal, tidying the house or helping them in and out of bed.
Making a difference
Bluebird Care is privileged to offer care options to those who prefer to live at home. The company’s franchises are able to provide person-centred home care to people across the UK.
It’s imperative that service providers keep up with the increasing demand of an ageing population, which is why Bluebird Care believes now is a great time to get involved in the care industry. It currently has franchises available to purchase in numerous areas of the UK. But why should you choose Bluebird Care?
The company takes great pride in making a difference. Its care assistants work dutifully and considerately to deliver a bespoke service to customers, ensuring their needs are met. As a result, Bluebird Care has been celebrated at the Home Care Awards, workingmums.co.uk, Top Franchise Awards and homecare.co.uk Top 20 Home Care Provider Awards.
As a Bluebird Care franchisee, you’ll enter the care sector under a brand that’s well known for its quality.
Perhaps most importantly, you and your staff will also have access to award-winning training, as well as the collective expertise of over 200 businesses across the company’s franchise network. Bluebird Care’s blended training approach and continued support ensures the consistent delivery of the very best care services.
Attractive opportunity
Paul Barry, owner of Bluebird Care Chichester, Epsom & Kingston, Oxford, Reigate and Sussex Weald, says: “I was particularly attracted to Bluebird Care for three reasons: the size of the UK care market, the strength of the Bluebird Care brand and the ability of their business model to be resilient in tough economic conditions.
“When I joined, I found the support and training offered by Bluebird Care to be very strong, particularly in the early days when all the care terminology plus policies and procedures can be new and slightly bewildering.”
