Home Care Franchising Opportunities – South Carolina
The South Carolina Home Care Industry
The senior care industry is growing rapidly in North America, with aging seniors expected to make up 20 percent of the total population by 2030. A larger senior population means a lot more pressure on existing healthcare systems. Can government-led senior care keep pace? Or will home care businesses rise to meet the demand.
It’s clear that rising healthcare costs and an industry wide reduction in health employee numbers have left ample room in the market for home care franchise opportunities. Especially for franchises in South Carolina.

Happier Aging Philosophy
Nurse Next Door is a premium home care brand and that means we deliver a premium experience we call it Happier Aging. We believe, deeply, that aging should be the best part of life which is why we work to get our clients back to doing the things they love to do.
Happier Aging means reconnecting seniors with interests, hobbies, and passions that might have gotten lost amid busy schedules, health concerns, or other distractions. It could be something simple such as tabletop gardening for those with a green thumb or learning how to cook a new dish, because love is in the details!
When we meet our clients for the first time, we ask them, “What do you love doing but you no longer do?” and work to infuse that into every visit. It’s about the little things and really connecting with our clients.
At the first visit, we ask our clients,
The Nurse Next Door Brand
In a space as competitive as private-duty home care, you need a brand that turns heads. The Nurse Next Door brand’s icon is a flower-heart bursting with joy in the colors yellow and pink. It symbolizes our core purpose of Making Lives Better and unique trademark concept of Happier Aging™.
In a sea of cold, stale, clinical providers, our bold brand serves as a huge advantage when our Franchise Partners are in the community. The pop of colours and our equally bright attitudes makes us stand out from the crowd—quite literally!
Scalable Revenue Streams
As with any business, it’s important not to rely on one source of revenue when developing a business plan. As a Nurse Next Door franchise partner, your earning potential will be fully supported by a proven business model composed of multiple revenue streams.
A common misconception is that home care is dependent on ‘private pay’ clients given the nature of the service, however, eligible clients can have access to a range of financial assistance options to help pay for their care. Having access to multiple revenue streams like programs such as Veterans Affairs and insurance benefits provides franchise partners with growth opportunities across multiple touchpoints rather than relying solely on one.
Revenue streams can include:
Private Pay
Private Pay is where clients or their families cover the cost of home care services with personal funds.
Veterans affairs
Programs such as Veterans Aid is available to help clients pay for care if they or their spouse have served in the military.
Short-term insurance
Nurse Next Door works with national and local insurance companies to cover the cost of care for insured clients.
Long-term insurance
Long-term insurance benefits usually pays for in-home care to assist clients with “activities of daily living”
Our Story
Building a successful home health care business
Co-Founders Ken Sim and John DeHart found an opportunity when Ken’s wife went on emergency bed rest while pregnant.
Ken employed a caregiver and discovered that the caregiver had just started work after faxing in her resume the previous day. She had never met her employer.
Looking into the home health care business industry further, Ken and John found sterile businesses that provided the basics, making life only slightly more bearable for their clients. They knew that they could create something better and launched Nurse Next Door in 2001.
