## Story

Having grown up in extended families in India, where caring for elders is a cherished part of life, the Kanitkars have a deep respect for seniors and an understanding of the importance of providing dignified support to people as they age. As franchisees with Seniors Helping Seniors®, they are drawing on those values to help families keep their loved ones comfortable, safe and connected at home.

“It’s a simple idea, but not a lot of agencies focus on it,” said Amol. “There is a need for seniors who are looking for part-time work and want to help, and there are other seniors who are in need of help, so having them team up is mutually rewarding.”

The demand for in-home care for mature populations continues to grow, with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services reporting that nearly 70% of retirees will require some form of long-term care.

“We prioritize the best possible care for our seniors, and that means partnering with passionate franchisees,” said Seniors Helping Seniors® President Namrata Yocom-Jan. “That’s exactly what we’ve found with Amol and Janhavi as new franchisee Partners who are well-equipped to provide unparalleled in-home services to those in need throughout Irvine.”
