Homewatch CareGivers Opens New International Office in Guatemala, Adding a Sixth Country to Its Global Network
GREENWOOD VILLAGE, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Homewatch CareGivers, the largest and most experienced international franchise provider of full-service home care, has opened its newest international location in Guatemala, the sixth country within the Homewatch CareGivers' network, joining the 180 locations in the United States, Canada, New Zealand, Costa Rica, and Panama.
"The caregiving issues facing families are universal. Guatemalans experience the same struggles and stresses confronting families worldwide," said Homewatch CareGivers' President Leann Reynolds. "Helping families by providing the highest quality home care services is our mission, and we're delighted to expand our mission into Guatemala."
The new office, located in Guatemala City and owned by Juan Carlos and Patricia Lavidalie, will offer Homewatch CareGivers' hallmark home care services, personalized for each client and focused on services that allow a family and their loved one to have the comfort and security of home while receiving the supporting care they need. Caregiver services are carefully documented for each client in a customized care plan. Every care plan is administered by well-trained, compassionate caregivers who are dedicated to helping families with the care they need, such as 24-hour, around-the-clock care for a loved one who is dealing with a chronic illness, assisting an individual with the support needed at home to recover from a recent hospital stay or medical procedure, providing safe and convenient transportation to and from appointments, or stepping in to help with emergency childcare when the unexpected happens.
Currently, more than 14 million people reside in Guatemala, with 3.5 million in Guatemala City. According to the World Health Organization, approximately 5 percent of residents are facing health issues that require in-home care.
"Opening a new office in Guatemala is another strategic milestone for Homewatch CareGivers," added Reynolds. "In addition to our presence in the U.S., the new office in Guatemala, along with locations in Canada, New Zealand, Costa Rica and Panama, is part of our global growth plan. This positions our company to serve the needs of the domestic populations, and also those clients who choose to have medical procedures overseas in destination countries such as Panama, Costa Rica, and Guatemala, as part of the growing trend in medical tourism."
