Invites You to Go On A

Private Duty Field Trip

A unique experience where you and eleven other owners will have the opportunity to spend one full day inside a 12,000 hour per week non-medical, private pay company.

Virginia Beach, Virginia
September 16-17, 2014

There’s no better way to learn how to grow your home care business into a multi-million dollar enterprise than to go deep inside with someone who has already done it.

The Private Duty Field Trip is a unique experience where you and eleven other owners will have the opportunity to spend one full day inside a non-medical, private pay company that provides 12,000 hours of service per week.  The owners will show you through their offices, introduce you to key team members, describe their organization structure, and show you their internal processes. 

Then you’ll have time to sit around the conference table and ask questions.  No holds barred. Ask anything you want. These incredible business owners are willing to open up their hearts, their minds, and their businesses to help you do what they have done … build a highly successful private duty business that makes a lasting impact on their clients, families, caregivers, and employees.  And, that makes a lot of money.

This event is limited to twelve people (from non-competing cities).

Meet Our Hosts
SeniorCorp

Seniorcorp was established in 2003 to address the need in the community for compassionate, quality in-home care services for the aging population.  Dedicated to "changing the way America ages," Seniorcorp offers seniors the ability to remain in their homes as they age, where they can still feel comfortable, safe, and happy. Seniorcorp companions are well-trained to provide assisted living services such as light housekeeping, laundry, organizing mail, entertainment, transportation, personal care, meal planning, and more — all done with a smile, love, and support.

In 2007, Seniorcorp started its own training school and scholarship program, helping many talented individuals learn to be caregivers and achieve certification as Personal Care attendants.

Seniorcorp currently has over 300 employees in Southeastern Virginia and is in the process of developing new services and technologies that will help families nationwide. Seniorcorp believes in recognizing its employees for the dedication and hard work they provide to our seniors and their families. That is why Seniorcorp has established a Pay for Performance bonus program that rewards excellence and promotes continued success.  Our employees also benefit from 100% company-paid life insurance. These benefits have helped to build an incredibly stable workforce with turnover less than a third of the national average.

Seniorcorp has been featured numerous times on local and national television, including the major networks and the Fox Family Channel.  Tom also co-hosts a radio show about caring for seniors on talk radio stations in Virginia.

There's no better way to get insights into how you can grow your business and get ready for the future than to spend this day with the owners and managers inside one of America's leading private duty home care businesses.

You'll get to meet the team, and look over the shoulders of their scheduling coordinators and client service coordinators. 

Take a few moments to visit the website of SeniorCorp to get a clearer picture of the company you will be visiting during the Private Duty Field Trip.

Meet the Team

Your field trip experience will be hosted by an amazing team of people who are excited to share with you exactly how they run their business.

Tom Knox founded Seniorcorp when he recognized that a gap in care services for the elderly existed, after his experience with his own aging grandparents. His paternal grandmother, Edith, suffered from Alzheimer’s disease and was in and out of assisting living, forcing his grandparents to spend all of their resources to qualify for Medicaid. Tom's maternal grandmother, Mae, was neglected in a convalescent center, left alone after a fall that caused a minor heart attack. She had been pushing her call button to get assistance, and when no one responded, she tried to get up herself and fell to the floor.  Tom's aunt happened to find her on the floor during a random visit. The family brought Mae home but she was never the same, leaving Tom's mother in the extremely stressful position of moving from New Jersey to Florida to care for Mae, unassisted, 24 hours a day for four months.  The stress of managing Mae's round the clock care, multiple physicians, and financial matters nearly led her to an emotional breakdown.

Tom began researching the needs of the booming senior population and realized that, like his family, many, in spite of their and their family's financial resources, could not get anyone to answer their questions, provide timely or coordinated medical services, give clarity on insurance and legal issues, fight for their rights, or even protect themselves from negligence and fraud.  His experience living in Japan for three years where elders continued to remain at home with the support of family convinced him that there was a better way. The idea of a revolutionary, compassionate business to change the way America ages – Seniorcorp - was born.

Seniorcorp has brought fresh solutions to boomers, seniors, and their families. Seniorcorp has been an answer to handling the coming “Agewave.” It is the new solution for Assisted Living At Home and consumer-directed care that thousands of families can depend on now and in the future.
