For those with extensive career experience, it may be a similar opportunity in a related industry. For others, it can easily come down to something totally new and different. That\u2019s one of the key advantages of following the proven business models of franchise concepts, not to mention the training and support provided to franchisees. For Jeffrey Clark of South Texas, it ended up being a little bit of both.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>&nbsp;\u201cI Didn\u2019t Want to Start Over at My Age\u2026\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A 30+ year sales and customer service veteran of large corporations in both the medical device and early education fields, Clark was looking for an opportunity to own a family business of his own that he could operate with his sister, Meredith. But he wasn\u2019t willing to begin again at square one to get there. \u201cI didn\u2019t want to start over in the corporate world at my age. I felt the need to go do something on my own and with the idea that my sister could play a key role. I also wanted to be in a position to completely guide the direction of the business and control my own performance and destiny.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"leap\"><strong>Making the Leap to HomeWell Care Services Franchise Ownership<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That destiny ended up being&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/homewellfranchising.com\/?utm_source=Q3-Guide&amp;utm_medium=website&amp;utm_campaign=Franchise-Buyers-Guide&amp;utm_id=FBR\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">HomeWell Care Services<\/a>, a leading provider of in-home care suited to meet the specific needs of a wide range of clients. To date, the franchisor has 40 establishments in communities across the U.S. Clark worked with a franchise broker to locate suitable opportunities, focusing on businesses where he could express his passion for helping others. The validation from other franchisees in the system ended up being a big influence on Clark\u2019s decision to go with&nbsp;HomeWell Care Services. \u201cI spoke with three other owners and also shadowed a nearby franchise for four days. I wanted to understand their initial experience but also wanted to understand their day-to-day activities. I wanted to understand the opportunities and challenges that came in the first two years and also wanted to understand what 3rd party support I would need to run the business.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"kickstart\"><strong>Kickstarting a Caregiving Career<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After signing with&nbsp;HomeWell Care Services&nbsp;in 2021, Clark was assigned his own franchise business consultant to help guide him through the launch of his new business. That assistance, along with the backing of a dedicated support team from the corporate office, helped Clark and his sister navigate the complexities of setting up shop in their new market of New Braunfels, Texas. Once again, the other&nbsp;HomeWell Care Services&nbsp;franchisees rallied to his side. \u201cWhat\u2019s nice about HomeWell is that all of the owners across the country are very open to sharing their ideas and collaborating. This is probably where we get most of our support now.\u201d He found the most challenging aspect was establishing and securing the approval of an immense caregiver referral network, the lifeblood of his new operation.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Jeffrey Clark and his sister Meredith quickly learned the ropes. After their licensure to operate was granted by the state of Texas, they rolled up their sleeves and began networking their way to success. For Jeffrey, the quest wasn\u2019t just about business; it was personal, too. Having witnessed his grandmother\u2019s caregiver take financial advantage of her, he knew he never wanted to see another person have to go through such a situation. He poured himself into learning everything he could about the various caregiving options available to people \u2013 knowing that every situation is completely unique in its own way. Having an empathetic approach is key in this industry, and Clark did everything in his power to become a skilled, compassionate, and committed franchise owner.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"another one\"><strong>Another HomeWell Care Services Franchise Success Story<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thanks to Jeffrey and Meredith\u2019s hard work, their&nbsp;HomeWell Care Services&nbsp;business picked up momentum and began to thrive. As positive online reviews began to accrue, the number of caregiver referrals increased. After his first full year of operation, Clark was feted with the brand\u2019s \u201cRookie of the Year\u201d award, an honor he felt was extra special considering the competition he was up against. \u201cI\u2019m extremely proud of the reputation we\u2019ve been able to establish in such a short amount of time.\u201d His success led him to make a bold decision to expand right away, and Clark has since purchased two additional territories in the larger San Antonio market to his south.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Clark is imminently pleased with the way things worked out. <a href=\"https:\/\/homewellfranchising.com\/blog\/why-start-home-care-franchise-now\/\">Starting a business of your own<\/a> can be one of the greatest challenges. But Clark discovered, rather quickly, it can also be one of your greatest triumphs.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"video-shortcode\"><iframe title=\"HomeWell Owner Spotlight: Jeff Clark\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/BMWQKvb10tI?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">About HomeWell Franchising:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">HomeWell Care Services\u00ae, franchised by HomeWell Franchising Inc., provides personal care, companionship, and homemaker services for seniors and other homebound individuals, so they can remain safely in the comfort of wherever they call home.
