Franchise Friday – Episode 211 with Mike Condon of HomeWell Care Services

In this episode, Melissa speaks with Mike Condon of HomeWell Care Services.

Mike Condon, Medical Equipment Executive Helping Others Transition Into Business Ownership.

I worked in the medical equipment industry for 10+ years where I got to develop the skills and business acumen that enabled me to succeed in my later endeavors. I’m a passionate franchise professional who cares for and loves to help people. I’ve always been enthusiastic about sharing my values and creating healthy work environments for my team and the people around me which led me to venture into franchising.

I want to pay my experience forward by helping more people understand the power behind franchising. Now with HomeWell Care Services, I am able to educate others on the opportunity within the home healthcare space with a company that is about culture, fit, and belief in their franchise owners.

Home care is never a one-size-fits-all solution.

That’s why HomeWell provides a holistic approach, resulting in a personalized experience based on individual needs. You get the qualified, professional assistance needed, along with compassion, and peace of mind—ensuring a comfortable life at home, right where you belong.

HomeWell Care Services is one of the nation’s premiere in-home care providers franchised by HomeWell Franchising Inc.

Our agencies serve seniors and others in need of home care throughout their local communities with personalized in-home care plans designed to suit each client’s specific needs. Originally founded by a caregiver, our passion to help others drives us to make a difference in the lives of our clients, their families, our owners and employees, and our communities. Our primary goal is to bring more enjoyment to the lives of those who find it increasingly difficult to function well on their own.

HomeWell Franchising Inc. prides itself on helping entrepreneurs not only realize their dreams of business ownership, but also give them the means to make a positive impact in their communities. We seek franchise owners who are committed to bringing the mission of HomeWell Care Services to life in local markets across the U.S.

HomeWell is focused on strategic expansion across the U.S. through franchise-owned development. With many territories available, the company expects to have over 100 HomeWell Care Services franchises by 2023.

In fact, HomeWell Care Services has been recognized as a 2021 Home Care Pulse Endorsed National Provider. This endorsement recognizes only the top home care providers in North America. This designation demonstrates our commitment to quality and providing outstanding client and caregiver satisfaction.

According to Mike Condon: “My path has definitely been one very similar to a lot of the clients that we work with, right? I was in the med device world for over 15 years. And I loved it. I love the healthcare space. And I was really fortunate to have a great corporate career. But like many of the clients that we deal with, you kind of run out of runway and you look at your life and say, hey, could I do this a different way? And one of the things I love about franchising is there’s always that opportunity to look at that. So, after a great 15-year career, I looked at myself and my wife and said, How do we pivot. And one of those ways, we started to look at franchising. And I was fortunate enough to become a consultant. It really got my foot in the door and understanding franchising, understanding the space and really what we wanted to create. And through that process, my wife and I went ahead and started purchasing franchises in the health and wellness space. And we currently still own and operate a multi-unit franchise brand here in the in the Detroit, Michigan area. I was very similar to a lot of our clients, tired of the corporate rat race, and examining how to exit and find a build a path for ourselves.  I really wasn’t planning on joining corporate America again, but I had a tremendous opportunity with somebody I respect very highly in this space. We’ve had conversations regarding the home healthcare space and the brands and he kind of presented me an opportunity to get back and give back to franchising. One of the things I love about this space is we’re able to help people understand that vision of being their own boss, but also having a system to help them be successful. So, I joined the Homewell team back in July. And it’s been a great experience ever since.   I am so fortunate to experience all walks of life here in franchising.”

According to Melissa: “This is why we do work so well together. Because I mean, we say 95% of our clients end up, if they do move forward with a business, it’s in something they either never would have thought of, to your point, or they would have prematurely dismissed it on their own. Whether in home medical care, or dog training or whatever. They may think: I don’t want to do that. Then a coach is able to present something that hey, you know, this is going to be a little left field, but I want you to keep an open mind. It is about the education. And so that is, educating on new opportunities is just so important on both sides.”
