June 11, 2014 // Franchising.com // GREENWOOD VILLAGE, Colo. - Homewatch CareGivers International, a provider of personalized home care services for people of all ages, has signed a 2014 partnership agreement with Wish of a Lifetime™ to fulfill Wishes for seniors in communities across the United States.

"It is clear that Homewatch CareGivers embraces the Wish of a Lifetime mission to foster respect and appreciation for seniors by granting life enriching Wishes," said CEO of Wish of a Lifetime, Jillaina Wachendorf. "We are excited that Homewatch CareGivers locations will be able to further expand our mission by granting even more Wishes to deserving seniors."

Jeremy Bloom, founder of Wish of a Lifetime, was a featured speaker at the Homewatch CareGivers 11th Annual Franchise Owner Conference in May 2014. Bloom founded Wish a Lifetime in 2008 in living honor of his grandmother. He is also known for his success as an Olympic skier, World Cup gold medalist, NFL player and entrepreneur.

"Our franchise owners are already aware of the 10.5 million seniors living alone who are often dealing with loneliness, boredom and helplessness." said Leann Reynolds, president of Homewatch CareGivers International. "So it makes sense for us to partner with an organization dedicated to elevating our elders and improving their quality of life. We are committed to discovering and granting even more seniors' Wishes in communities where our franchisees operate."

The partnership combines synergistic organizational missions and will continue through 2014, with the expectation of a renewed agreement in 2015 and beyond.
