Start a Private Duty Business

As a member of The Senior’s Choice, you will benefit from the most comprehensive training, support services and business start-up kit in the industry.

Here’s a picture of your Start-Up Kit, complete with training manuals, DVD’s, brochures, guidebooks and plenty more:

Mind you, that’s not all of it. After all, it would be pretty hard to show you the 50 different marketing and advertising pieces you have at your disposal to customize and modify any way you please. Or the dozens of forms that you can instantly begin using on a daily basis. Or all the policies and procedures you’ll be able to implement immediately. In fact, the contents of our Start-Up Kit are so complete that members have taken time out of their busy day to tell us so, like Brendan:

“The tools and education we have available and us by being a proud members of TSC are immeasurable! There are so many things TSC offers that help in building our business that I can't even use them all. Just some of the tools that have helped us are: 1) The Scheduling software – I can’t do with out it. The software alone is an exceptional value in the membership. 2) The Fall Prevention Program - we've signed 8 clients we know of that have told me were a result of including the Fall Prevention Program in our Client Info Pack. Countless others were simply because of the professionalism of the Client Info Pack, which itself is modeled after TSC’s. 3) The Certified Companion Aide program - we’ve had a warm reception to the CCA Program and are encouraging all our caregivers to complete the program.”
– Brendan Stormo
