Christian Companion Senior Care Opens First Franchise

Oklahoma City-based company expanding nationally

OKLAHOMA CITY, April 6 /PRNewswire/ — Christian Companion Senior Care, the nation’s first senior care franchise to combine practical and spiritual assistance, is opening their first location outside of Oklahoma. A location in Cordova, Tenn. is scheduled to open on April 8, 2009.

“We are extremely thrilled to begin offering our services outside of Oklahoma,” said Tony Vann, vice president of communications. “Since August of last year, we have been working toward franchising within the southern region of the United States and eventually nationally. The response to our services has been overwhelming and this first location in the Memphis area is only the first step in fulfilling our company’s vision.”

Christian Companion Senior Care is the nation’s first franchised Christian based in-home care provider for seniors. Christian Companion Senior Care provides seniors with traditional in-home services, such as bathing, light housekeeping, medication reminders, meal preparation and transportation. In addition, trained and experienced care-giving professionals are also equipped to provide spiritual encouragement from a uniquely Christian perspective.

“Our model is incredibly unique,” said Vann. “Clients indicate that in-home assistance gently coupled with spiritual encouragement – like prayer, reading the Bible, even singing a favorite old hymn – can make the difference between merely existing and living with joy.”

Christian Companion Senior Care is based in Oklahoma City. Operations began in 2004 with a location in Oklahoma City and continued growing in 2007 with a location in Tulsa, Okla. Christian Companion Senior Care began offering franchises in August 2008.
