About Radfield Home Care

Radfield Home Care is a business built on a very clear sense of purpose. That purpose is the same today as it was more than 35 years ago when franchisors Alex Green and Dr Hannah MacKechnie’s parents first set up the Radfield business as a residential care home.

Under the vision, passion and leadership of brother and sister Alex and Hannah, Radfield Home Care is now a multi-award winning business, providing exceptional care and support to clients and their families every day.

What has always remained a constant is a simple and powerful purpose…

make ageing a more enjoyable and rewarding experience for all involved.

This is what inspires, drives and guides everything the business and its franchise partners do.

As Hannah explains: “Care is amazing. Great quality care can transform a moment, a day, even a relationship. Care should be about making people feel understood, valued and supported. About enabling people to live their best life for as long as possible. That’s what exceptional care means to us. It’s what we grew up with, how our parents inspired us and now we’re proud to be working with outstanding franchise partners to take the Radfield standard of care out to the nation.”

How does the Radfield Home Care franchise model work?

Radfield Home Care is a business built on relationships. The first step is to make sure it’s a good match between you and the business. Does Radfield feel right for you? Do you feel right for Radfield?

You don’t need any prior care experience. Radfield’s dedicated franchise support team is on hand to help you recruit a registered care manager. They’ll take on responsibility for daily operations like care management, compliance and staff.

You need to have a passion to become a local care champion. You will get out there, network and meet people. Let them know about Radfield, make sure that when they need care they want to choose the Radfield Home Care brand.

Here’s how Alex sums it up: “We love bringing new franchise partners on board because it’s like adding another member to our family. Hannah and I have run local offices ourselves, so we know what it’s like and we know what it takes. If you’re approachable, enjoy meeting new people, a good listener and also willing to put yourself forward then we’d be very keen to hear from you.”

• A family-run business, an ethical approach: Caring for our CarersTM means you become an advocate for a supportive work environment. Our family-based core values mean you strive for the highest quality of care delivery.
• Leadership with real experience: Having grown up within a residential care home, worked as a GP and then operated local home care offices, not to mention caring for their own parents and grandparents, it’s fair to say that Radfield’s franchisors have been there, done it and got the t-shirt.

Once you’ve been accepted in principle into the family as a new franchise partner, you’ll need to be in a financial position to make the right level of investment. You can think of this in two parts.

Firstly you’ll need your franchise fee. This is £35,000+VAT. Next you’ll need working capital to get the business up and running. This is typically £55,000 - £60,000. In total, around £95,000.

Thanks to Radfield Home Care’s well-established business model, a number of high street banks lend up to 70% of this total investment. This means you will need around  £35,000 of your own capital to get started.
