For many aspiring business owners, the dream isn’t just about financial success—it’s about creating a lifestyle that allows for more freedom, flexibility, and quality time with family. At Caring Senior Service, our franchise owners have the opportunity to run a meaningful business while still making time for the people who matter most.
Owning a business often comes with long hours and high demands, but with the right model and support, it’s possible to build a thriving business without sacrificing family time. Our franchise owners prove that you can serve your community, grow a successful company, and still be present for the moments that matter.
The Flexibility to Be There for Life’s Big Moments
One of the biggest advantages of owning a Caring Senior Service franchise is the flexibility to set your own schedule and structure your work-life balance in a way that makes sense for you. Unlike traditional corporate roles that may require long commutes, rigid office hours, and missed family events, franchise ownership allows entrepreneurs to:
- Be there for school drop-offs, recitals, and sports games
- Take family vacations without worrying about limited PTO
- Adjust their schedules to support personal and family needs
- Spend more meaningful time with children, spouses, and loved ones
This flexibility doesn’t mean the business runs itself—but it does mean that franchise owners can build a team, delegate responsibilities, and use efficient systems to create a schedule that works for them.
Stories of Balance from Our Franchise Owners
Our franchisees come from all walks of life—many are parents, grandparents, and caregivers themselves. Their journeys highlight how Caring Senior Service franchise ownership allows them to make an impact while still prioritizing family.
Caring Senior Service owner in Victoria, TX, Vanessa Wagster has been able to achieve better work-life balance since becoming a franchise owner.
“I can now spend time with my daughter without feeling guilty about it. I feel like I’ve done a really good job creating those boundaries between professional life and personal life and being able to feel comfortable splitting my time between the two and feeling good about that.”
While Vanessa is dedicated to her work in the office, she also makes time to support her daughter in livestock competitions. She encourages her team to maintain the same healthy work-life balance, offering flexibility so they can prioritize their own families as well.
A Business That Aligns with Your Values
At its core, Caring Senior Service is a relationship-driven business. Our franchisees dedicate their time to serving seniors and their families, but they also experience firsthand how having control over their careers positively impacts their own family life.
Take Mike and Addie Walls, for example. The husband-and-wife duo opened a Caring Senior Service franchise in Brazoria County, Texas, after Addie was inspired by her experience caring for her grandfather with Alzheimer’s. As a stay-at-home mom looking to return to work, Addie wanted a career that aligned with her caregiving values while still offering the flexibility to be there for her young children. Working alongside her husband, the two built a family-run franchise rooted in compassion and balance.
“We don’t get a break from each other anymore, but we’ve learned to step back, be mom and dad, and focus on our relationship—not just the business.” Their journey highlights how franchising can create space for both purpose-driven work and meaningful family time.
Finding the Right Balance
While running a business requires dedication, Caring Senior Service provides franchisees with a proven system and ongoing support to help them manage operations efficiently. With tools like the Tendio® care platform, strong team structures, and a mission-driven culture, franchise owners don’t have to choose between running a successful business and spending time with their loved ones.
