the market today is estimated to be in the region of £12 - £17 billion per annum with social services purchasing up to 70% of their community based care from independent operators. recent legislation has resulted in domiciliary care obtaining professional status and created an ideal franchising concept whereby a franchised care operator can provide a better standard of delivery than a large corporate or small independent operator.
