Nationwide, the need for reliable, cost-effective home care has been growing rapidly to accommodate aging Baby Boomers. Georgia, in particular, is seeing an incredible surge in demand for elder care.

Statistics from the U.S. Census Bureau put Georgia among the top-10 states with the fastest growing elderly population. Federal projections show that 20% of the Georgia population will be 60 and over by 2030, a figure noted by the state’s own Department of Human Services.

The market for home care in Georgia is clear, but that’s not the only appeal of a home care franchise. In this field, you can take pride in helping seniors live more fully and independently. You can also support the legions of family caregivers who work tirelessly by caring for the ones they love.

Our Current Franchising Opportunities in Georgia

As of the 2020 U.S. Census, 14.3% of Georgians were aged 65 and older. With that population expected to grow by leaps and bounds in the decade to come, now is the perfect time to establish your home care business in Georgia.

At Visiting Angels, we have the following options available for the best franchise to buy in the state:

Albany

Sitting on the Flint River in Southwest Georgia, Albany is a large city of 72,130 residents, according to the latest census. This is a scenic city with deep roots, many cultural attractions and ample opportunities to explore the outdoors. It’s easy to see why so many seniors, who make up 14.4% of residents, would rather remain in the area as they age.

Albany is also home to many families who may need help balancing child care and elder care in the future. An estimated 24.3% of the population is under 18.

As well as serving families in the city, this location includes several protected territories in the surrounding area, including Ty Ty, Baconton, De Soto, Camilla, Pouland, Doerun, Hartsfield, Warwick, Leesburg, Oakfield, Moultrie, Norman Park, Newton, and Sasser.

Valdosta

Valdosta is located just north of the Florida border and is home to an estimated 56,457 people. Currently, older adults aged 65 and up account for 11.4% of residents. That percentage will likely rise significantly by 2030, when all remaining Baby Boomers will reach retirement age.

In 2019, the Moultrie Observer, a local news outlet, reported on the “silver tsunami” in the Valdosta area. The article noted that Baby Boomers, many of whom are caring for elderly loved ones themselves, may not have that same support themselves in the years to come.

In addition to Valdosta proper, the protected territories for this franchise location include Adel, Dixie, Morven, Boston, Berlin, Sparks, Ray City, Naylor, Nashville, Pavo, Thomasville, Lakeland, Moultrie, and Barney.
