Why Adult Day Care is a Growing Opportunity

76 million baby boomers were born between 1946 and 1964

10,000 people a day turn 65 in the United States

Americans ages 75 to 84 are projected to increase by more than 100% between 2015 and 2050

Americans 85 and older are projected to increase by more than 200% during that same period

Owning your own Elder-Well® Adult Day Program offers the freedom and independence of being your own boss in one of the fastest-growing sectors of the economy.

The Elder-Well® Difference

Many older adults don’t need in-home medical care, but spending most of their days alone at home can accelerate the cognitive challenges that come with aging.

The Elder-Well® Adult Day Program is an enrichment and activity center designed to provide a safe, supportive, and stimulating day to seniors at risk of feeling isolated at home. As an owner of an Elder-Well® Adult Day Center, you will be providing much-needed support services to older adults with memory support needs and their families. We specialize in services for those diagnosed with Dementia, including Alzheimer’s.

What It’s Like to Own an Elder-Well® Franchise

At an Elder-Well® center, every day brings real moments of connection. A guest who has grown quiet at home finds their voice again, sharing stories and laughing with new friends. A daughter who was burning out finds the relief of a few uninterrupted hours. A new team member learns what it means to truly know the people they care for.

As the owner, you create the conditions for those moments to happen. The work is steady, the relationships are real, and the impact you have on older adults and their families shows up every single day.

Who is Best Suited for This Opportunity

Elder-Well® franchise ownership can be a good fit for:

  • Senior care, healthcare, or social work professionals ready to build something of their own
  • Family caregivers with firsthand experience supporting an aging loved one
  • Career changers seeking purpose-driven business ownership after a long career in another field

What matters most is a real commitment to serving older adults and the families who love them.
