“After a rewarding career leveraging my background in national corporate wellness, adaptive physical education for people with disabilities, and referral-based medical fitness centers, I saw an incredible opportunity to apply my experience in a field with increasing demand,” explained Nelson. Tom Nelson, another recent franchisee in California, is also optimistic about his newest business endeavor with SYNERGY HomeCare of Campbell-Los Gatos, which serves the Greater San Jose area. He has had success hiring military spouses, many of whom come from backgrounds where caregiving is a part of their culture. Launching a business during COVID has been hard but the SYNERGY team has been incredible in helping us understand the business, allowing us to network and develop a referral base, as well as set up our systems and operations and support our marketing efforts.”īutler has focused recruiting efforts on nearby Camp Pendleton to augment his caregiver roster. “Martha had cared for her late dad and her mom is now in assisted living so we have seen firsthand the value a company like ours can bring to the client and their family. “I had a long career in orthopedic surgical supply sales and recognized that in-home care was a growth industry where my sales background would be beneficial,” Jeb Butler said.

There are now 15 franchisees operating in California including companies in Huntington Beach, San Jose, Carlsbad and San Marcos, where Jeb and Martha Butler opened SYNERGY HomeCare of North County. SYNERGY HomeCare also increased its California presence with the 2020 launches of four affiliated companies in the Golden State. Root pointed out that the company’s caregiver recruitment is focused on experienced healthcare professionals and students in appropriate majors at nearby Middle Tennessee State University. We believe that by building a culture focused on optimizing our employee experience we will fuel client satisfaction and growth.”

“We have personal experience as caregivers and recognized that the need for professional services in our region is growing. “I spent the bulk of my career in organizational transformation and strategy assessment and my wife Kathy has a background as a registered nurse and as a healthcare accounting consultant, so we were looking for an opportunity to combine those skills,” Dan Root said. SYNERGY HomeCare of Rutherford County, southeast of Nashville, Tenn., opened in December, led by Dan and Kathy Root. Each week we engage with more and more potential owners.” This has brought increased awareness to the sector and has allowed us to develop a strong pipeline of high-quality candidates who bring a variety of different skill sets. It has been interesting to see that while COVID-19 has slowed the overall economy, it has exacerbated the need for in-home care. “Obviously as baby boomers age with an increased desire to live at home and remain independent, the need for our services has and will grow even further.

“We have made a concerted effort to grow our market presence,” said SYNERGY HomeCare CEO Charlie Young.
