“It is not only a business opportunity in a demanding sector, but also a great service to the community”

Offering great mentorship, the Bridgewater Home Care franchise focuses on what franchisees truly want from a business

Launched in 2021, Bridgewater Home Care offers aspiring social care entrepreneurs the opportunity to start a sustainable and rewarding business in domiciliary care. The franchise focuses on the quality of life of the franchisee while offering a business opportunity that opens the way for financial freedom, time freedom and a better work-life balance.

Having been a franchisee himself in the past, founder and managing director, Phil Eckersley, took the leap to franchise his business model after identifying how Bridgewater Home Care could add value to the franchising industry. A unique part of the Bridgewater Home Care franchise opportunity is the long-term value added to franchisees. Unlike many other home care franchises, Bridgewater Home Care includes the core operational and financial systems within the low monthly service fee of six per cent + VAT. This provides extra peace of mind and huge cost savings for franchisees. The franchise model focuses on what franchisees truly want from a business – great support and mentoring from someone who has been in their position, whilst having the ability to grow a sustainable business with real longevity.

Building the network

With three successful pilot offices across the northwest, Phil thought it was the right time to begin the search for high-quality franchise partners to join him. This year saw the successful launch of Vindya and Shehan’s first franchised office in Halton, Cheshire. Sharing the same passion for a high-quality, reliable service, Vindya and Shehan were drawn to Bridgewater Home Care as they could see how different the opportunity was from others in the market.

“Investing in a domiciliary care franchise is the best decision we ever made,” Vindya said. “It is not only a business opportunity in a demanding sector but also a great service to the community.

“We had intense training at the beginning which helped us learn about the business and the Bridgewater standards. The level of ongoing support we receive is incredible and the national office staff have a great level of knowledge when it comes to navigating through issues.”

The formula for creating a franchise model that works for individuals is evident within the Bridgewater Home Care franchise model – great support and mentoring from an experienced team of care professionals, a healthy return on investment and the ability to spend more time personally doing the things that you enjoy the most.
