Looking to invest, but the uncertainties of the stock market are making you queasy? Is the hot air escaping from the real estate bubble burst leaving you wilted? Maybe it’s time for a change of pace.
Okay, maybe that sounds too much like a commercial, but the fact is there are viable alternative investment vehicles physicians can consider, and they’re in the healthcare field. Franchise opportunities exist through assisted senior-living residences and home healthcare businesses that in many ways are a perfect fit for those in the medical community. As the demand for retirement housing grows, and as more senior adults are looking to stay at home, physicians are the common link to the elderly in both those venues.

Picture a franchise and you probably don't think of a company that
helps tend to the elderly and infirm. In-home care certainly is more complex
than burger-flipping, and it seems like an unlikely fit for the franchise
business model. But the sector has become one of franchising's fastestgrowing
corners.
As the elderly population explodes, families are increasingly turning to inhome
care for help, experts say. Such operations provide the elderly or
infirm with help running their daily lives, including bathing, cooking, light
housework, running errands and sometimes dispensing medication.

As the nation's population of baby boomers approach retirement, they are finding themselves with financial security and the luxury of free time. Their children are grown and they are embarking on a new chapter in their lives. Many are devoting time to traveling and taking better care of themselves. As they embrace their new lifestyle, they are discovering new wants and needs. Frequently, the products and services provided by franchises are meeting those needs.
In addition to this new-found freedom, many of the approximately 78 million baby boomers born between 1946 and 1964 are facing the responsibility of caring for their aging parents. Rather than placing them in nursing homes or assisted living facilities, many are choosing to hire in-home health care services.
