This new franchise is based upon a hugely successful dementia day care business based in Harrogate, North Yorkshire. Our dementia specific day clubs promote independence, social interaction and activity, cognitive stimulation, and friendship; all delivered in a safe environment with full care support for those who need it. Each daycare service offers an amazing alternative to traditional care home-based day care, as we run our daycare in community settings, so for those who attend it feels more like a club.
This advert aims to find a new franchise partner to setup and replicate what we have achieved in the areas we cover in Knaresborough, Harrogate and Otley where we have grown the business to an almost £1million turnover.
Each day care club is staffed by fully qualified support workers who are trained in first aid, moving & handling, dementia awareness, and the safeguarding of vulnerable adults. We are also proud to say we guarantee the highest ratio of staff to attendees for a day care service. With that in mind, it enables us to tailor the day around people’s needs, wants and abilities ensuring split activities and one to one support is available should someone need it.
The activities are varied and include everything from trips out to entertainers, reminiscence, art, active games etc. Our experienced Activities manager adapts our activities so that everyone can participate no matter what limitations they may have.
• Our day clubs cater for 10-12 people and provide a full day of activities for those who attend.
• Each of our day clubs run from 10am until 4pm in various venues.
• We provide refreshments and snacks throughout the day and a two course lunch.
• Transport options are available with our Rainbow mini bus fleet.
• The day is an opportunity for some often much needed respite for carers.
We always put the person at the centre, and prior to any care package we always spend time with each person and their families to build a relationship and find out as much information as we can about our clients physical, emotional, and spiritual needs.
Franchise owners will manage various venues within an exclusive area and the business format can mean that the franchisee can be active within each venue or be a management franchisee overseeing the business as a whole.
A problem for all care businesses is staff availability however care staff love what we do because it is day time work without unsociable shifts, and our clubs are nearly all Mon-Fri too which means carers get their weekends back. Above all else though each day is filled with variety and fun, something that doesn’t apply to the majority of care based businesses.
The franchise is very scalable and when fully optimised 8 venues can create a business generating over £900,000 per year with a higher than normal net profit. We have also arranged for unsecured funding to cover the majority of the startup investment.
