These days, building a business that enriches lives is a rare occurrence. A fast-food franchisee may believe that opening a new location will be a lucrative investment, but other than money, what are the community benefits? For most franchise owners, money is enough of a reason. But what choices does a person have if they want financial stability and an opportunity to make a real difference in their community?
If you hold yourself to a higher business standard, franchise opportunities in Philadelphia, PA are now available with Always Best Care.
Since being founded in 1996, thousands of American families have trusted Always Best Care senior care for compassionate home care services. We are known for providing the very best non-medical home care for seniors who wish to remain at home as they age. Our home care franchise owners play a crucial role in preserving the independence and dignity of our clients, and now you can too.
Simply put, the home care industry is booming. If you're reading this page, you're in the right place at the right time. As a result, you can find senior care business opportunities in just about every American community. As the home care market continues to grow, your home care business will grow as well, and that growth is easy to sustain when you consider these U.S. based stats:
During the next 30 years, seniors will make up 20% of the U.S. population. When given a choice, these people want to maintain their current lifestyle, not check into a nursing home. The challenge is that as people age, mobility problems, health issues, and memory lapses happen more frequently. About 80% of seniors have at least one chronic health condition, while 50% have at least two. So, while seniors want to age at home, they need a little help to do so. As an Always Best Care franchisee, that's where you come in - to provide consistent, compassionate support to the growing demographic of seniors who need care in your community.
The bottom line? Since home care is the fastest-growing industry in the U.S., and seniors represent the fastest-growing demographic of our population, capitalizing on home business opportunities is a stable path to profitability for decades to come.
However, changing demographics aren't the only factor driving unprecedented growth in the home care industry. Attitudes are changing about aging, too.
Statistics show that most baby boomers have a strong desire to remain independent as they age. These hardworking Americans are turning their noses up at the idea of spending their golden years in a strange nursing home. They have an unshakeable yearning to live life at home as long as possible. This factor, combined with advances in modern medicine that are helping seniors live longer, has set the stage for more home care franchise opportunities than ever before.
Research by the University of Alabama shows that more than seven million people in the U.S. need some form of home care. This fact is bolstered by the rising trend of "aging in place." Seniors not only want to be self-sufficient - they wish to remain at home, where the surroundings are familiar and family is near. Always Best Care nurtures this need by providing quality in-home care that helps both the seniors in need and their families.
When you implement Always Best Care's proven business model, your senior care franchise in Philadelphia, PA will become a pillar in your community. You will be part of a highly regarded, reputable organization that others will respect. While you refine your reputation and earn respect, you'll be living an entrepreneurial lifestyle that lets you make a difference in other people's lives.

No matter what hurdles we must overcome, one thing is for sure: people will always need care.
At Always Best Care, our proven franchise model enables hundreds of dedicated franchisees the opportunity to achieve financial freedom in the most uncertain times. Our award-winning training program provides franchisees with the tools to succeed and the stability they need.
Always Best Care is one of the fastest-growing senior care franchise systems because our franchisees are more than just business owners, they are compassionate professionals dedicated to helping others.

You may have seen a home care franchise for sale in Philadelphia, and thought to yourself, "I can do this! The timing may not get better than today." Of course, being ready and motivated to take on the challenges of franchise ownership is a must. However, some very careful self-analysis is needed before buying a franchise.
The reality is this: business ownership is not easy. While Always Best Care does everything in its power to set up new franchisees for success, the franchise owner must be prepared to manage the business. The very best home care franchise owners accept that they may have to work harder than they ever have in their lives.
Are you ready to make that commitment?
Ask yourself these questions before moving forward, so you can make a rational, educated purchasing decision:
The "secret" to franchising success is the consistency of the services and products that customers find at franchise locations. When you advertise the sign and logo of a franchise, you're letting customers know that you follow a specific system. If you are fiercely independent and refuse to follow established formulas, home care franchising might not be for you.
Anybody thinking about opening a home care business needs to be honest about their finances. One of the most common reasons businesses fail is a lack of capital. Remember, you will need enough money to both open and operate your home care business. Though Always Best Care is proud to offer low start-up costs relative to other franchises, an investment of time and money is required.
Your ability to interact well with your franchisor, franchisees, employees, and customers is crucial to your initial and ongoing success. After all, many franchise businesses are based around interacting with people. During the course of your day, a solid problem-solving skillset is also needed to succeed. To run a successful franchise, it's crucial to maintain good relationships with your corporate team, in-house staff, and customers.
If you're ready to seize the day and take destiny into your own hands, we're prepared to help you with the next steps of owning an Always Best Care franchise.
The next steps in your discovery process is to talk with an Always Best Care representative, request a Franchise Disclosure Document, complete an application, and "validate" everything you have learned about our winning franchise business model. Once complete, you will have a candid discussion with current franchisees who have been selected by experience to reach their entrepreneurial dreams.

Miami has certainly taken command of the series, winning the first two games in South Beach. 76ers big man Joel Embiid did not play in either, and his absence was significant.
With the series moving to Philly, there is still no clear picture of whether the NBA's regular-season scoring champ will suit up, or how effective he can be if he does. Also, expected to miss yet another game is Miami point guard Kyle Lowry, a Philly native.
The first couple of games has shown us that the 76ers have no real chance to compete in the series without their top dog. Heck, even with him, it is hard to like their chances against a very physical, experienced Miami team.
The winner of this series could be waiting a while though because it looks like Boston and Milwaukee are going to go the distance.
Philly is a home underdog for just the 10th time this season. They are 4-5 SUATS in this role this season.
Miami Heat (0-2) vs. Philadelphia 76ers (0-2)Friday, May 6, 20227:00 p.m. ETWells Fargo Center, Philadelphia, Pa.ESPN
Spread: Heat -3 (-110), 76ers +3 (-110)Total: 210.5Moneyline: Heat -150, 76ers +125
Miami -3
A lot can change when a series switches venues, and that is what is going to need to happen for Philly to get back into this one.
Depending on the source, Embiid is either questionable or out, and for the purpose of this piece, I am assuming he is not going to play. Needless to say, everything they do is predicated on the big man being on the court and they are really struggling without him.
This series has sharply shown that James Harden is not the player he once was. Even though they need him to be more than ever. In eight playoff games, he has not scored more than 22 points and in this series he has not scored more than 20. It is "nice" that he is willing to share the ball, but they need him to go "alpha" if they are going to get back into the series.
Miami is doing a nice job defending him, but he has also not been as aggressive as required. My hunch is that he is internally well aware of his own limitations and not really willing to take 30 shots in a game and absorb the criticism for not making many of them. He can still draw fouls, but that is not as effective in the playoffs.
Without a player that truly commands special attention, Miami is able to play Philadelphia straight up, and that makes them an even better defensive team because their physicality is hard to match.
Miami is surely feeling great off a 16-point win in which only two starters scored more than nine points. With Victor Oladipo suddenly a viable option off the bench, they have more depth than expected and are managing just fine without Lowry, one of a couple of players on the roster with Championship experience.
After a couple of double-digit wins (and easy covers) at home, it is hard to see things changing all that much on the road Friday night; certainly not enough to tilt the court in the 76ers' direction. Philly just doesn't have the pieces without Embiid and a waning Harden.
With a small number to cover the Heat are once again the way to play this game Friday night.

A coastal storm is expected to bring wet and windy weather to the area starting Friday morning and continuing throughout the entire day and night.
And it's only going to get worse on Saturday.
NBC10 has declared a First Alert for Friday through Sunday for this disruptive, slow-moving coastal storm.
"This isn’t the type of First Alert when we’re concerned about major damage or posing life-threatening conditions," said NBC10 First Alert Meteorologist Steve Sosna. "But it will bring major impacts to anyone needing to be outside, especially with Mother’s Day weekend."
Some light to steady rain was already falling Friday morning. Areas south like the Jersey Shore might see light rain or even a break in the rain before it starts to intensify in the evening. In the early afternoon, the Phillies postponed the team's Friday night game against the Mets due to the rain.
The storm, coming from the west, will intensify as it redevelops off the coast Saturday morning. Rounds of rain will continue through Saturday afternoon and evening.
And the comfortable 70s of Thursday are giving way to chilly 50s and low 60s Friday and low 50s by Saturday, with wind chills even lower. "It’s going to feel miserable for May," Sosna said.
It will be windy Saturday and Sunday, too, with gusts of up to 30 to 40 mph inland and 40 to 50 mph at the shore. Winds should be strongest on Saturday, but should still be gusty through Sunday afternoon.
While Sunday morning will likely begin with scattered showers, the wet weather should begin to shift southward through the late morning and early afternoon. As a result, by the afternoon, Pennsylvania neighborhoods should be dry while the Jersey Shore still gets bands of rain. Either way, Mother’s Day should remain chilly and windy.
There could be coastal flooding at the Jersey Shore, starting with the Saturday night/Sunday morning high tide cycle. Widespread minor flooding is expected, with some locations including Barnegat Bay and Sea Isle City expecting moderate flooding between 11 p.m. Saturday and 3 a.m. Sunday.

The New York Mets and Philadelphia Phillies square off on Friday with first pitch set for 7:05 p.m. ET. The game takes place at Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and will only be available on local TV or through an MLB.tv subscription. Max Scherzer (4-0, 2.61 ERA) takes the mound for the Mets while the Phillies counter with Kyle Gibson (2-1, 2.93 ERA).
New York (19-9) heads into this one with a ton of momentum as they erased a 7-1 deficit in the top of the ninth inning in Thursday’s game. This was the team’s biggest comeback in a game since 1997. The Mets get to follow this up by sending their ace to the mound. Scherzer will be making his sixth start of the season but is coming off his worst start of the season, where he gave up four earned runs over six innings against the Phillies.
Philadelphia (11-15) faces Scherzer for the third time this season. So far, the Phillies have managed 10 hits and five earned runs against him while striking out 16 times. They gave up a six-run lead in the ninth inning on Thursday and are in desperate need of a big win here. Gibson is facing the Mets in back-to-back starts. On April 30th, he pitched 4.1 innings and have up two hits and an unearned run while striking out three and walking five.
Pitchers: Max Scherzer vs. Kyle GibsonFirst pitch: 7:05 p.m. ETMets local broadcast: SNYPhillies local broadcast: NBC Sports PhiladelphiaLive stream: MLB.tv (subscription)Moneyline odds: New York -160, Philadelphia +140
Moneyline pick: New York -160
Coming off their biggest comeback in 24 years and they get to send Scherzer to the mound? New York is the moneyline pick here. Philadelphia has a solid lineup on paper, but they haven’t been able to string together all-around performances where they all contribute. The Phillies have lost both games facing Scherzer this season, and that will continue tonight.
Player prop pick: Jean Segura over 0.5 hits (-150)
Segura is one of the rare batters to hit Scherzer well. He is 10-30 against Scherzer in his career and has a hit in each game that Scherzer started against Philadelphia this season. He enters with a four-game hit streak that should move to five games after he collects at least one hit in tonight’s game.

WASHINGTON, D.C. - Over the weekend, Insomniac and Club Glow’s inaugural Project Glow Festival had a monumental debut, marking the first-ever dance music festival to be held in Washington, D.C.. More than 40,000 attendees explored the transformed RFK Festival Grounds for two days to celebrate 20 years of dance music culture. A colorful spectacle of three neon-lit stages and a lineup of more than 65 music acts, each with a rich history to the city and Club Glow, created the outdoor Spring affair against the picturesque backdrop of the Anacostia River. During a surprise reveal with posters and flyers posted all throughout the Project Glow DC festival grounds, the second edition of Project Glow will transform Subaru Park just outside Philadelphia, PA on Saturday, October 1 and Sunday, October 2. Tickets to Project Glow Philadelphia are on sale this Friday, May 6 at 10 a.m. ET at ProjectGlowFest.com.
Upon entering into the vibrant atmosphere of Project Glow, The Eternal Stage and The Pulse Stage were on full display. Where the timelessness of sound reverberated, the 111 foot wide structure of The Eternal Stage was decorated by more than 150 lights, 10 flame units, and a sea of confetti raining over the crowd. The mechanical gears represented in the stage design and the Project Glow artwork depict the continuation of dance culture’s sound and time since the 90’s. Specially curated with a roster of artists significant to Washington D.C.’s music scene over the years, The Eternal Stage showcased incredible artists like Above & Beyond, who first performed at a Club Glow event back in 2007, and Martin Garrix, who debuted at Club Glow’s Echostage back in 2015 following the release of “Animals”, his first of many award-winning tracks. In a fitting performance, the first artist to ever play at Echostage during its 2012 grand opening, Roberto Gonzalez, kicked off Project Glow in an early first day appearance.
The Pulse Stage created an immersive, 360 degree music experience through a sea of LED lights and video towers positioned within the audience, while Diplo’s Higher Ground and Insomniac Records each brought their signature style and house music sounds to the stage. John Summit, Walker & Royce, Meduza, Noizu, MK b2b Sonny Fodera and more brought high-energy performances. Within Unity Square, the festival’s central hub for socialization and refreshments, the BoomBox Art Car showcased the spotlight on the local region’s best up-and-coming talent.
Project Glow also partnered with homegrown nonprofit organizations GOODProjects and DC Vote to contribute to the surrounding community. DC Vote’s interactive art piece prompted festival goers to add their own color to a black and white stretched canvas and create art, all in the name of DC Statehood, which will now permanently live on display at Echostage. GOODProjects and Project Glow brought volunteers together who helped with neighborhood clean-ups, prepared garden beds for planting, and other activities during the week leading up to the festival, with GOODProjects information also on full display for attendees to learn more about their services.
Welcoming those from up and down the East Coast to experience the electronic community that’s been built in the District, dance music culture has been embedded into Washington, D.C. for more than 20 years. Recognizing the connection to Philadelphia and all of those that have traveled over the years to the world’s #1 nightlife venue, Echostage, as well as Project Glow Festival this past weekend, Philadelphia is the perfect spot to sit atop the expansion list for Insomniac and Club Glow. With plenty of new surprises, attractions, and a monstrous lineup of dance music artists awaiting fans in Philly, tickets for the October 1-2, 2022 festival are on sale this Friday, May 6 at 10 a.m. ET at ProjectGlowFest.com.
Home to Major League Soccer’s Philadelphia Union team, Project Glow’s next edition will transform the festival grounds outside the state-of-the-art Subaru Park stadium alongside the Delaware River Bank. Conveniently located next to the Commodore Barry Bridge, Project Glow Philadelphia is easily accessible from neighboring New Jersey and comes to enrich the Northeast’s live entertainment offerings.
