Retire-At-Home™ Moves West Awarding Franchise in Vancouver

Ottawa, Ontario – April 25, 2008 – Retire-At-Home™ Services, a Canadian Home Health Care company, awarded its first western Canadian franchise in the North and West Vancouver area.
“Retire-At-Home™ is proud to announce the approval of our first office in the Vancouver Area,” stated Jonathan Martin, Vice President Franchise Development of Retire-At-Home™ LP during the company’s announcement. “It is a big step forward for our company as we make this inter-provincial expansion.”
The Retire-At-Home™ concept, founded in 1994 by a nurse in Ottawa, provides premium home health care to seniors dealing with a health-related crisis. “We are very confident in our decision to award Nahida and Al Ladha this franchise” states Mr. Martin. “They passed each stage of our thorough application process and portray the characteristics and qualities we believe are necessary to succeed in a providing a quality home health care service”.
“We are so pleased to join the Retire-At-Home™ family”, stated Nahida Ladha, a devoted philanthropist and recent victim of a home-based accident. “Over the past two years during the recovery from my fall, we did a lot of soul searching and researched options for what we wanted to do in life. We chose Retire-At-Home™ not just because of its great business opportunity, but more importantly, because of its atmosphere of family, warmth, and dedication to its clients and employees. That was the deciding factor for us, it very much aligned with our own personal values.”
“We both have deep roots in our community,” added Mr. Ladha, “I needed to be sure that if my name was attached to a business, it would have to be one that stood for quality and dedication. Retire-At-Home™ is certainly that. I was also happy to see they had the same measure for us – ensuring that we will represent the Retire-At-Home™ name well in Vancouver. It’s great to see everyone so focused on placing such pride in their business, putting the customer first.”
Home Health Care is one of the fastest growing industries in North America. As the Baby Boomers age, 1 in 4 people will be a senior within the next 20 years. Their impact is already being felt as today’s decision–makers for their parents, causing the demand for personalized home health care to skyrocket. Retire-At-Home™ has positioned itself perfectly with a franchise model that combines strategic growth for its franchisees with personalized services for its clients.
Mr. and Mrs. Ladha will begin three weeks of hands-on training in May and are expecting to be available to clients in June. “We can’t wait to get started and begin providing a quality service to those who are in need in our community”.
In 2007, Retire-At-Home™ received its national accreditation through the Canadian Council on Health Services Accreditation and expects its franchisees to attain this accreditation and maintain national standards.
