About This Video
This GoodOaks Homecare UK franchisee testimonial features Jose Rodriguez on his transition into the brand's regulated UK homecare network. The video shows the 20-year pharmacy career background, the family dementia experience that motivated the career change, the eight-month franchise research process, and the informed-decision rationale for choosing GoodOaks Homecare specifically.
Rodriguez's professional background is unusually substantial. Twenty-plus years in pharmacy. Successful regional pharmacy manager and superintendent. The trigger for the career change was a personal family experience: his grandmother lost a battle with dementia, and the family experience caring for her was 'extremely tiring, exhausting and emotionally draining.' Two carers helped his grandmother and the family hugely. Two years after she passed away, Rodriguez was still talking about those two carers, and he felt he had to do something about it.
The research process Rodriguez describes is the kind of due diligence the brand recruits for. He looked into care for about eight months. GoodOaks was the first brand he was drawn to, but precisely because it was the first, he wanted broader category understanding before committing. He met multiple franchisors and spoke to franchisees from many other care companies. Eventually all roads came back to GoodOaks, but this time the decision was reassured by the comparison set, and he was convinced it was the right move.
GoodOaks Homecare UK is a regulated UK homecare franchise providing in-home care services for elderly and vulnerable adults. The brand operates inside the UK's Care Quality Commission (CQC) regulatory framework. Partners run regulated care businesses with formal compliance, staff training and outcome-monitoring requirements. Rodriguez's framing of his motivation: 'It's a way to honour my grandma, a way to allow people to have the same care or better than my grandma in our family had at the time.'
The healthcare-professional career-change pathway and the family-dementia-experience motivation pattern recur across the brand's partner network.
