SarahCare Franchise Information

Own Your Own Business as a SARAH Adult Day Services Franchisee!
As our elderly population continues to grow, so does the demand for elderly care. Meeting their special needs is one of the fastest growing business opportunities around. SARAH Adult Day Services, Inc. offers you the rewarding opportunity to become part of this expanding industry, while helping the elderly restore a sense of dignity and vibrancy to their lives.

SarahCare History:
Merle Griff, Ph.D., an internationally known gerontologist, established the first SARAH Adult Day Center in Canton, Ohio, in 1985. SARAH West opened in the nearby city of Massillon a few years later. This center was relocated in April 2004 to a larger state of the art facility and renamed SarahCare of Belden Village. Both centers provide therapeutic day services to elders whose families are caring for them at home but need respite during the day.

The centers have become known for providing compassionate, creative care and for their skill in addressing the needs of individuals who would otherwise have to be institutionalized. Responding to inquiries from around the country, SARAH Adult Day Services, Inc. began offering franchises in 2001.

SarahCare centers have earned the trust of its clients' families and local communities. Much of our success is due to the development of SarahCare-a special program that has made SARAH Adult Day Services, Inc. a leader in caring for the elderly.

As you review this franchise opportunity, you will discover the rewards and satisfaction that those who are a part of SarahCare already know-the pleasure of running a successful, recession-proof business while also making a positive contribution to your community.
