Jill and Bryn are celebrating 15 years of caring - 08-October-2021

Home Instead is delighted that their franchisees in Sheffield and Barnsley, Jill and Bryn Evans, have just celebrated 15 years in business.As one of the first franchisees for Home Instead in the UK, they have built an amazing, successful business over the past 15 years, including buying multiple neighbouring territories to expand their home care services to more ageing adults across Yorkshire.The husband and wife duo first set up their Home Instead business in 2006, taking a huge leap of faith with the brand, as home care was relatively unknown. But they shared the ethos and passion, and knew how valuable their home care services would become to local communities.15 years later, the pair have grown their business substantially- employing over 160 caregivers, 27 office staff, and generating an annual turnover of £3m+.Neither Jill nor Bryn had a background in care, with Jill working in Advertising and Marketing and Bryn holding a role in IT consultancy. One thing they shared was a real desire to make a difference, and a passion to run their own business.Jill had a personal experience trying to find appropriate care for her grandfather. Upon learning about home care as an option, something which was relatively new to the UK market 15 years ago, Jill knew it presented a better option for many older people.Jill comments: “Looking back to where we started 15 years ago- we are so proud- not only of the growth we have achieved, but how Home Instead has grown as a brand. The way in which franchisees are supported and helped in their businesses by the national office team has progressed so much, and we really are honoured to have such an amazing team behind us.“Franchisees joining the network now are joining a well-established, award-winning network which really is becoming a household name.The pair followed their passion, and are now able to enjoy the work-life balance and rewards of growing their own business 15 years on- having built a team they trust and who are dedicated to delivering high-quality home care services.Jill continues: “With Home Instead, we really can enjoy the flexibility and freedom of owning our own business. It has been an exceptional experience; one we would recommend to anyone who wants to be their own boss whilst really making a difference.” Home Instead is shortlisted for 4 national care awards - 22-September-2021

Leading home care franchise, Home Instead is delighted to announce a new partnership with Barclays Digital Eagles that will give their franchisees and their care teams across the UK access to online training on all things digital. This knowledge will then be shared by Home Instead CAREGivers with their clients and clients’ families, helping more seniors understand technology and integrate it into their daily lives.The partnership will also create a number of Community Influencers across the franchise’s 235 strong network, who will share their learnings with their broader communities into the future.The announcement of this latest partnership comes as Home Instead unveil new research, which polled 1001 over-65s. The research showed that nearly half (46%) could benefit from education and support around technology, helping them to stay connected as well as access services such as online shopping.Speaking about the partnership, CEO of Home Instead Martin Jones said: “The pandemic taught us many things, one of which was the importance of connectivity –something which applies to all of us.“The research was commissioned as we wanted to gain a better understanding of how technology had been used and, importantly, the barriers to its use.“We have been able to show that it’s often a simple lack of knowledge and confidence that is holding so many older people back. That’s something we are really keen to change.”The study also showed that tech-savvy seniors fared better than their tech-fearing counterparts when it comes to feeling connected to their loved ones.Liam Mitchell, Head of Learning at Barclays Digital Eagles said, “In the last year, many of us have depended on technology more than ever to go about our daily lives and stay connected to friends and family. However, we know there are people, particularly older age groups, who don’t feel as confident and therefore aren’t getting the most out of the benefits that digital can bring.“The Barclays Digital Eagles are passionate about empowering communities across the UK to be more confident with technology, which is why we’ve partnered with Home Instead to provide tailored resources and training that can help their clients and families feel confident and safe using technology to stay in touch and enhance their day to day lives.”Home Instead franchisees benefit from a number of high-profile partnerships forged by their national office with many influential organisations across the UK, enhancing the quality of care they provide and the ways in which they can enrich the lives of older people.The Barclays partnership joins several new collaborations launched throughout the past year, including Home Instead’s relationship with Parkinson’s UK. Through this, the home care franchise created a bespoke training programme for their CAREGivers, allowing them to deliver specialist care to their clients living with the condition. Honor Acquires Home Instead to Transform the Care Experience for Caregivers and Older Adults - 06-August-2021

Honor and Home Instead announced today that Honor Technology, Inc. has acquired Home Instead, Inc., effective 6th August 2021. The acquisition brings together the world’s biggest home care brand - and UK’s largest home care network - with the leading home care technology and operations platform to transform the caregiver and client experience and revolutionise care for older adults. Financial terms of the acquisition were not announced.Honor’s technology and operations platform, paired with Home Instead’s leading global network, training leadership and relationship-based care, will serve as a foundation for a dramatic increase in innovation to benefit caregivers and clients through expanded offerings.“For the past 27 years, Home Instead has demonstrated a powerful combination of leadership, passion, and innovation—elevating the standard of care globally and becoming the respected industry leader,” said Seth Sternberg, co-founder and CEO of Honor. “This is an incredibly exciting moment as we bring together the preeminent global home care brand and network with the best technology and operations platform to provide an even more amazing caregiver and client experience. Never before in the history of the world has a company had this much reach or this much investment in technology to solve caring for ageing adults, their loved ones and those who care for them.”To drive innovation, Honor will substantially increase its investment in research and development through engineering and technology. Honor and Home Instead also plan to extend their advocacy and social purpose initiatives. The combination will empower professional caregivers and enable millions more older adults across the globe to receive the support they need now and in the future.“These two organisations share one passion: transforming the care experience for older adults around the world,” said Jeff Huber, CEO of Home Instead. “For years, our commitment has been to create the world we want to grow older in. This transaction adds fuel to that commitment. Combining the strengths of these companies moves our passion from aspirational vision to inevitable impact.”“Nobody has been able to figure out how we deliver high-quality care at scale, until now,” said Marc Andreessen, cofounder and general partner at the venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz. “This acquisition fundamentally transforms the senior care space, flipping it from analog to digital. Technology will drive operational efficiency and personalization at scale, which is the only way to meet the skyrocketing needs of the baby-boom generation. If we increase our capacity to care, the next generation – and those after – will reap the benefits as well.”The Home Instead network will operate under the Home Instead name as a subsidiary of Honor. The Honor Care Network will continue under the Honor name. Seth Sternberg will continue in his role as CEO of Honor. Jeff Huber will report to Sternberg and continue to lead Home Instead as CEO, maintaining the brand that people have come to know and trust along with the high-quality care delivered to millions of older adults and their families.Together, Honor and Home Instead will focus on the professional development of caregivers and use technology as a foundation to strengthen the relationship between caregiver and client. This will further enhance the career opportunities for Home Instead caregivers in the UK, where there are currently 4,500 open vacancies. More details can be found at https://www.homeinstead.co.uk/caregiver/.Martin Jones, Home Instead UK CEO said “The pandemic turned a simmering backburner issue into an urgent, global human crisis for older adults. It’s a simple truth: The way the world cares for older adults must evolve. The hospital of the future is the home. And our future will be fueled by a vibrant, respected workforce delivering care with skill and compassion. It’s an expectation we need to embrace and quickly – we’re delighted to be leaders.”There is a severe shortage of professional caregivers across the globe, as outlined in the 2021 report Building the Caregiving Workforce Our Ageing World Needs. As a result of this combination, Honor and Home Instead will continually enhance training opportunities for caregivers. Honor’s easy-to-use interactive app gives caregivers access to more hours and allows them to participate more in the process, which improves their overall satisfaction.“Our primary focus is treating caregivers with respect and providing them with the tools they need to succeed. We call it Care for Care Pros,” Sternberg said. “We know that if we care for our caregivers, they'll in turn provide even better care for our parents.”“Senior care should always be a personal, high-touch experience,” Jones said. “Technology will make that experience more personal and more high-touch.”Guggenheim Securities, LLC served as the exclusive financial advisor, and Lathrop GPM LLP served as legal counsel to Home Instead in this transaction. SVB Leerink acted as financial advisor, and Fenwick & West LLP served as legal counsel to advised Honor.
