Premier Homecare Services, a five year old private duty home care company in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, is offering franchises across Canada. While several U.S. based franchisors have operating locations in Canada, this is the first Canadian company to enter the marketplace with new franchises.

“We opened our first office in Toronto back in 2003, began franchising in 2008 and now already have 6 locations across Ontario,” reports David Watson, Founder & President. “Many people understand the aging population and the generally shifting preferences toward in-home care. The difference between most people and our franchisees is that our franchisees appreciate that now is the time for them to secure their short and long-term success in this ever more popular marketplace. Our GTA franchise locations offer especially compelling opportunities since our brand has already garnered a respected reputation across much of the region during our 6 years in business.”

This brings to 26 the number of companies offering non-medical home care franchises. According to research conducted by Leading Home Care … a Tweed Jeffries company, there are about 3,500 home care companies operating as franchises in the U.S.
