The time is right for you to launchAssisted Living Locators in your area.

The market potential for senior services is exploding;benefit from this massive opportunity now.

IT’S ABOUT TIME…AND TIMINGHow do you define a great business? One that is guaranteed success and ongoing growth? Easy! A great business is one where the concept is so unique, and in such demand, that it makes consumers say, “That’s exactly what I needed!”

However, that’s just part of the equation. Even the most market-friendly idea can fail if it’s launched at the wrong time.

It’s The Right Time

The good news is that the time is right for our exciting business opportunity that is both unique and in-demand. Fact is, the demand for assisted living services increases daily as tens of thousands of Americans and their families search for assisted living homes and communities. And, while doing so, each often find the process frustrating and time-consuming, and the options confusing.

Assisted Living Locators service offerings provide relief for this condition, and a rewarding business opportunity for our franchise operators.

Consider this...and you’ll agree that now is the ideal time for you to launch an Assisted Living Locators in your area.

ABOUT OUR INDUSTRYWhile the average senior would rather choose to live at home than move into an assisted living facility, our nation is in the midst of the largest caregiving shortage in history. With not enough trained caregivers to provide adequate care to millions of seniors in their homes, many seniors will opt to live in assisted living environments.

While non-medical home health agencies are scrambling to find caregivers, you will be helping seniors move out of their homes to find the care that they deserve.

A Growth Opportunity

Growth is the defining characteristic of the assisted living industry. Revenues are currently at $12-15 billion per year with no end in sight to an exponential increase in numbers.

The current growth rate of assisted living has been unprecedented. Every day in America, there are tens of thousands of families searching for assisted living homes and communities for their elderly parents or parent.

With over 35,000 assisted living facilities and over one million elderly already in assisted living currently, this industry is exploding! According to the Assisted Living Federation of America, factors contributing to the growth of the industry include:

• Seniors eight-five and over represent the largest growing population segment in our nation. • There are currently 6 million seniors in American and it’s expected to grow to 14 million in the next decade.• By the year 2010, one in five Americans will be over the age of 65.• Average life expectancy has increased 15 years since the founding of the Social Security System in 1935.

What was once a small niche has become a massive market opportunity.

These numbers translate into a tremendous shift in the American way of life.

• Nearly 25% of U.S. households provide care to a relative or friend aged 50 or older.• About 15% of U.S. adults care for a seriously ill or disabled family member.• About 13.3 million people are spouses or adult children of disabled older people and have the potential responsibility for their care. (Of these, about 85% are adult children.)

People Can’t Do It Alone

According to U.S. Census figures, about 6.5 million older people need assistance with daily living activities. As the number of older Americans continues to increase, that number is expected to double by 2020.

There will be a continued increase in the number of older people who live alone. Women continue to outlive men, and the likelihood that either men or women will live alone increases with age. Societal factors, such as rising divorce rates and the growing numbers of people choosing not to marry, also contribute to this trend.

There are other positive “indicators” for the assisted living industry.

The number of persons 80 or older with incomes sufficient to afford assisted living has increased; over 53% will have incomes topping $15,000, and nearly 35% will have incomes of at least $25,000. Increased incomes mean increased demands for more options and more customized solutions to living problems.

You’ll work with families in your area, helping them to find and tour assisted living homes and communities.

Uniquely Positioned To Bring You Success NOW

Like all the most successful business ventures, Assisted Living Locators is truly unique. It’s different from any other senior-related franchise offering…and it’s better.

Most companies limit their services to offering in-home care. But we do more, much more, and that means you can too. With the help of Assisted Living Locators, you’ll be able to offer families in your area the unique ability to explore in- and out-of-home assisted living options. And more options mean more successful placements for the growing numbers of seniors in need and their families.

Cost Is Never A Concern

Families in crisis over assisted living options have many concerns, and the biggest one is often financial. The unique thing about our industry is that families never pay for your services.

That’s right! You provide all your services free of charge to families while the assisted living homes and communities pay your fee if your client chooses their place of residence.

Instead of a salesperson, you act more as a marketing representative for the homes and communities in your area. That allows families to take advantage of your local expertise without any additional financial burden to their search.

Perform an excellent community service andnever have to charge your clients a cent.

The perfect solution for seniors, the perfect business for you.
