Harvey Dhillon only launched his Acacia Homecare franchise in early 2023, but he is smashing through his growth targets.
Usually, it is reasonable to expect new franchisees add 20 to 30 hours a week to their customer base as their reputation grows.
No wonder he’s smiling! Just one of the great good news stories we hope to share with you over the coming months.
We all know the UK care sector is in crisis and struggling to meet the huge demands of the ageing UK population. We all know that many traditional care businesses simply aren’t cutting it or are failing to provide the quality deserved by those most in need in our community.
But Acacia Homecare is anything but just another care company, and the number of success stories from their franchisees, carers and service users is proof they are really offering something special.
A business that carers want to work for
You may have read or heard that is is challenging for care companies to find good staff these days, but this is another area where Acacia Homecare really sets itself apart from the competition.
Their motto has always been “to be there to help you do the things that you want to do”. This ethos has transformed the way care is delivered by putting their service user’s needs first, but it goes way beyond that. It also applies to everyone who works with Acacia – from their franchisees right through to their carers and support staff.
Thanks to the innovative Acacia Homecare model, this is a business that carers actually want to work in. You won’t have to struggle to find carers in the same way many traditional care businesses do, and you’ll have an incredible amount of support to find, and retain, the kind of top-quality staff you need. Not only do Acacia Homecare have strong recruitment processes you can take advantage of, but they are also leading the way in recruiting highly-skilled professionals from overseas using a government sponsorship scheme.
This is only a small part of their strategy, but a very interesting one.
A franchise which cares about your staff
Last month, one of Acacia Homecare’s carers asked them for help in sourcing a bike so that they could travel more easily to all their different clients. The team were more than happy to help, and lent her the money she needed – they also gave her a rather snazzy branded high-vis jacket, too!
With Acacia Homecare’s backing, you’ll always be ahead of the game when it comes to finding great staff to join your team, how to look after them, and how to keep them at the top of their game.
