Home care provider Walfinch has launched its first initiative under its new Time to Thrive tagline. Wellness With Walfinch is a campaign to bring more activity and mobility to its home care clients, their families, carers and communities.
For franchisees, that means building thriving businesses around encouraging care clients to thrive, and enabling carers to build thriving careers.
The established, award-winning home care provider, founded in 2019 by Amrit Dhaliwal – a former home care franchisee himself – now has over 30 offices run by franchisee Managing Directors, delivering high-quality home care across the country.
A Walfinch franchise offers a valuable and rare combination of rewards: the opportunity to supply the growing and under-served home care market while making a genuine difference to your community, managing your own time and earning a good living.
Greg Renk, Franchisee Managing Director at Walfinch, Mid & South Buckinghamshire, says: “I’m following the franchise plan to a T and not only is it wonderful to see my clients thriving, but my business is too. It’s grown hugely since year one. Year two, I doubled it. Year three, nearly again.”
Wellness With Walfinch
The new Wellness with Walfinch initiative sets Walfinch apart from other home care franchises. It means franchisees are bringing more activity and mobility to their care clients, their families, carers and communities. It attracts new clients and extends the marketing reach of the business.
All Walfinch franchisees across the country will offer ‘thrive sessions’ for clients, families and communities. These will offer free live and online activities, such as flower arranging, access to wellness information from doctors and physical training experts (including Chris Zaremba, the online fitness guru who specialises in fitness over 50) and a Wellness with Walfinch series on YouTube, featuring Amrit Dhaliwal and fitness professionals doing exercises especially tailored for older people, so viewers can join in.
Various Walfinch offices already offer clients chair yoga, dance sessions, access to home physiotherapy, keep fit classes, days out, and art workshops, and this practice is expanding across the country.
“Physical activity is central to what Walfinch delivers, and our carers will encourage clients to include at least 10 minutes of activity in visits of an hour or more, to suit their capabilities,” says Amrit Dhaliwal. “It’s not about gym sessions or jogging, but could include dog walking, gardening, or outdoor chess – whatever the client wants. Increasing activity starts with asking clients their goals – maybe attending a family wedding, or walking to meet friends for coffee – then helping clients achieve the mobility to succeed.
“Care should be about thriving, not just surviving. Our rallying cry is, ‘Time to Thrive’, because good care is about improving lives for our franchisees as well as our clients and care teams.”
As a Walfinch franchisee we will encourage and support your business, so that you can thrive too.
