MADISON, Wis., Dec. 4, 2006 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- Aegin Place has created an option for seniors to stay in the comfort of their own homes at an affordable cost. A money-saving alternative to typical institutional elder care, Aegin Place adds a new dimension to growing old -- comfort and contentment in familiar surroundings. Unlike expensive nursing homes and assisted living facilities, Aegin Place gives seniors assistance with activities of daily living (ADL's) while remaining in their own homes. Aegin Place offers full-time personalized and professional non-medical care for your loved ones, 24 hours a day. The franchised program provides live-in caregivers exclusively.
Franchise manager Linda Kaski said, "The cost and inconsistency of traditional long term care strategies has given way to Aegin Place's innovative program that provides higher quality, cost effective care and the opportunity for older adults to truly age-in-place."
In light of the studies performed by the American Association of Retired People (AARP) that found some 80% of older Americans would prefer to die at home, Aegin Place fills a vital role in the aging of America. With senior health care costs skyrocketing, Aegin Place has been introduced in Wisconsin at just the right time to offer a sensible alternative to the high cost of elder care. Latest statistics of national averages for the cost of nursing homes reflect fees in excess of $5000.00 per month. Hourly rates for in home care top $20.00. Even Assisted Living cost basis is $2500.00 per month for room and board and can skyrocket to $5000.00 or more per month for advanced assistance. Aegin Place has a ready roster in place of screened, experienced, and needs matched live in caregivers for $130.00-$170.00 per 24-hour day in the Wisconsin market, depending upon extent of care needed.
The franchise, which originated in Denver, CO, has units in Colorado, New Mexico, Utah, Texas, Virginia, Tennessee, and Michigan. The franchise system will be listed this year in Entrepreneur Magazine's top 500 franchises.
Linda Kaski is the owner/manager of the franchise. The grand opening for the new franchise is slated for early in 2007.
