Overview
As the desire to live independent and dignified lives becomes more important for
seniors, Touching Hearts remains dedicated to enriching our client's lives by providing
an independent lifestyle for seniors in their own homes. By Sharing, Caring, and
Helping, Touching Hearts provides an incredible and fulfilling business opportunity
for those interested in making a difference in the lives of the people they serve.
By 2030, there will be an estimated 71.5 million persons aged 65 and over in the
United States, which is nearly double the population of 36.8 million seniors in
2005.
Touching Hearts' proprietary support systems provide all franchise owners throughout
the United States the chance to take advantage of the growing need for senior homecare.
Products & Services
As the desire to live independently remains an important factor for
many seniors, caregiving options have become more diverse. Seniors and
their families can now choose services that maintain well-being and
safety in one’s own home, in addition to the nursing and assisted
living options that have been traditionally available. Touching Hearts
at Home (originally known as Caring Companions) is a non-medical
homecare company that began in St. Paul/Minneapolis, Minnesota, in
1996. Our mission is to provide services for seniors in their own
homes, maintaining each client’s high quality of life by providing
friendship, kindness and care through companionship that preserves a
strong peace of mind for both the client and their family. We see the
opportunity to provide caregiving services to seniors as a gift that we
must respectfully receive and give back with great integrity, always
putting empathy and the belief in the dignity of all people in the
forefront of our work.
Touching Hearts at Home originated from the natural compassion of Founder and CEO Renae Olafson, who received such a strong example of caregiving, kindness and concern from her mother, 92-year-old Melvina Peterson, that it became her passion. Melvina gave Renae and countless others in her life the gift of unconditional love, a legacy of love that Renae, through Touching Hearts at Home, has been able to share throughout the nation. The 100 miles that separate mother and daughter make Renae empathetic to those who live a distance from elderly parents, sparking concern and stress. Renae and our staff are committed to helping ease that stress for others.
The need for care and companionship has grown dramatically in recent years as needs continue to rise, and Touching Hearts at Home has responded by expanding and taking our passion across the country through a network of offices nationwide. Our national launch began in January 2007, with plans to service all 50 states. Current family caregiver statistics show that more than 50 million people provide care for an ill, disabled or aging family member each year. Recognizing this, Renae knows the need for Touching Hearts at Home will keep increasing. Her vision is to build a legacy of care and compassion that enriches the lives of as many people in need as possible.
