Nurse Next Door is helping franchisees stand out from the competition with a new monitoring system called Safe At Home™. The new service is a wireless safety system that allows older adults to stay independent in their own homes. Not only does the new technology keep family members safe, it also offers peace of mind.
How the Monitoring System Works
Wireless sensors are placed throughout the house, and the safety system tracks the adult’s daily habits and behaviors to establish a baseline of activity. If the normal daily routine registers inconsistencies from the baseline, the caregivers, family members and/or friends are notified immediately of the change.
“There aren’t many home care companies that offer this kind of solution,” says John DeHart, Nurse Next Door co-founder. “For our clients, this of course offers tremendous peace of mind, but it’s also a terrific business opportunity for us. Home health care is a hyper-competitive market and offering this service allows our Franchise Partners to attract clients earlier, making it easier to transition into their home and ultimately build themselves a stronger relationship.”
Several Nurse Next Door Franchise Partners are offering the Safe At Home™ system to their clients including Dave Moeller, who owns the Roseville, Calif. Nurse Next Door location. Moeller says, “Offering a service like this puts me higher on the list, which directly impacts my bottom line. Often times, I’ll hear partners say that this type of service is exactly what their patients need.”
The monitoring service is ideal for sons and daughters who live far away from elderly parents and would like to keep an eye on them. “They may not need our full services yet, but by starting the client relationship before they need in-person care, we’ll have a much better understanding of what their needs are when the time comes. Ultimately, our goal is to allow seniors to continue their way of life where they’re most comfortable – at home,” explains Moeller.
The Nurse Next Door Opportunity
The rapidly growing senior demographic translates into a growing need for home health care services to keep these people comfortable and safe at home. And with that, comes an unparalleled business opportunity for potential business owners across North America. Come explore Nurse Next Door and see if owning this business is right for you.
