The franchise, based in Folsom, will provide at-home care to seniors in El Dorado and Placer Counties as well as eastern Sacramento. More than 50,000 seniors ages 65 and older live in this large territory, which includes the municipalities of Fair Oaks, Folsom, El Dorado Hills, Granite Bay, Rocklin, Roseville and Auburn. Scheduled to open this summer, the franchise will be operated by Mark and Susan Stephenson.

“We are thrilled to be opening the new LivHOME franchise serving the Sacramento area. This opportunity perfectly leverages our healthcare industry experience, allowing us to work with seniors who wish to age in their own homes. LivHOME’s professionally led model lets us deliver the highest quality care to each senior, offering them both the quality of life and the dignity they deserve,” said Susan Stephenson.

“We’re very pleased to welcome the Stephensons to LivHOME. With more than 40 years of combined professional experience, which includes 22 years of experience in case management and nursing, the Stephensons not only bring specialized expertise to the Sacramento franchise but proven leadership within the healthcare industry. We know they’ll be a great addition to the LivHOME franchise team,” said Mimi Zeller, senior vice president of franchising for LivHOME.

LivHOME franchises provide a high level of care for seniors who wish to remain in their own homes. All franchises are based on LivHOME’s professionally led model, in which each client’s care is overseen by a professional care manager trained in nursing, geriatrics or social work. This distinguishes LivHOME from others in the industry.

The Sacramento franchise is the second one sold as part of LivHOME’s newly launched franchise initiative. In June 2011, LivHOME sold its first franchise in the northwest Chicago suburbs.
