Demographic Trends Point To a Need for our Business...

Life expectancy in the U.S. continues to rise.
Women live an average of 80 years, while men can expect to live to about 74 years of age.
The number of Americans over 65 years of age will double to 70 million in the next thirty years.
75% of baby boomers are nearing retirement in the next decade.

"This graying of the population ... is stoking the demand for services that our grandparents didn't need," write Paul and Sarah Edwards of Entrepreneur.com and authors of Best Home Businesses for the 21st Century. "Seniors are depending less on their families and more on outside resources to receive the help they need."

What is causing this unprecedented demand for assistance?

Three main factors: economic issues, mobility and people having children later in life.

The biggest factor in the increased demand for elder care are dual income families. With both spouses working, this means less help from family members who work during the day. Seniors are looking to outside sources for the help they need.

Another factor is the mobility of Americans is also effecting the care, or lack thereof, available to older family members. Education and careers often require younger generations to move further away from their parents. Therefore, when the time comes when the parents need help with day to day activities, the children are often unable to be there.

An additional trend effecting the demand for care is having children later in life. Today, people in the 40 to 55 age range often have children and elderly family members to take care of at the same time.

These factors combined are causing more and more older adults to look to outside resources to help them in their day to day lives. Spectrum Senior Care provides their clients with companionship, comfort and entertainment; often becoming an unofficial member of the family.

And, since the services offered by Spectrum Senior Care are non-medical, this is the perfect investment for the first time franchise owner. No medical background required. Just a desire to help others.
