Franchisor Acquired by Authority Brands, LLC backed by PNC Riverarch Capital

PNC Riverarch Capital is a private equity firm interested in helping facilitate Homewatch International’s growth and expanding its international reach.

4.  One of the newest ways that Homewatch CareGivers has improved its services is the use of a proprietary software platform called Homewatch CareGivers Care+, which launched in late 2017. The new platform allows Homewatch CareGivers franchisees to measure points of contact along both emotional and physical needs.

5.  With Care+, caregivers and other professionals can schedule appointments as well as keep track of a variety of specialized tasks to establish which ones are completed. It also provides an effective snapshot of the care protocols, and easily generates reports to meet state insurance requirements and to share with family members and referral sources.

6.  In addition to the above features, Care+ also features tools that aid in screening for adult independent living, risk assessment, and also for dementia.

Continuing “Growth Spurt”

7.  At the end of summer, president and COO of Homewatch CareGivers Julie Smith talked about the company’s recent growth and her vision to both support current franchisees and expand. Smith says that overcoming the “taboo” of running a successful business and offering a service that aims to take care of others is part of the philosophy she brought with her to the company in 2015.
