ABOUT HCAN
Who We Are
Led by a team of passionate professionals from the home care and senior living industries, the HomeCare Advocacy Network offers franchise ownership options for individual entrepreneurs as well as senior living providers.
Our unique, white label franchising partnership allows senior living providers to retain their name and grow their business without investing in brick and mortar. They can provide a higher level of care for current residents and extend home care services off campus, establishing relationships with families early on in their senior care journey.
At HCAN, we know the power of compassionate caregiving. From companionship and personal care to Alzheimer’s and dementia care, we help senior living providers effectively provide additional, in-home services to seniors who live on-campus as well as to those who live outside of their community.
