Recently, there has been an increasing need for spaces where older members of the family can get adequate care. The industry is grossly underserved and under-tapped, but thankfully, established names with a proven business model are stepping up to take the mantle of the industry. One of those names is Innovative Senior Care Consultants. Not operating as a care home itself, the company has set up shop as the premier consultant for everything related to building a care home business and achieving success with it.
The founders, Eshonda Blue and Jessica Wright, are sisters who are registered nurses. Their journey into care began with their experience of taking care of their grandmother. In caring for their grandmother, the pair saw a need within the industry and decided to give families alternatives to nursing homes. Innovative Senior Solutions came to life in 2007 and became the first licensed home care provider in Sumter County, Georgia. The following year, the company became the first licensed Medicaid provider.
Over the last decade, Eshonda and Jessica have built a whole business and fleshed out winning strategies, and now, they help senior care businesses achieve success. Things changed in 2016 when Innovative Senior Solutions participated in the Georgia Mentor-Protege Program, which exposed the sisters to business and leadership coaching from a Fortune 500 company. Participation in this program set the tone for the establishment of Innovative Senior Care Consultants, a company that is more focused on how care businesses come to life and thrive. Eshonda and Jessica also attended TUCK School of Business at Dartmouth which was pivotal in the expansion of their mindset. The pair participated in the program’s 2018 session “Building a High Performing Minority Business” and its 2019 session “Growing the Business to Scale.” The new company focused on adult day care services and personal care homes and also started consulting with investors and entrepreneurs looking to get into the senior care business.
Reliable care for the aging members of society is not easy to come by, and Innovative Senior Care Consultants has been on a mission to fill that void. The company consults, coaches, and trains healthcare and real estate investors on everything that has to do with the senior care industry. The goal is to establish more senior care businesses with well-trained staff to make sure families are adequately supported in the care of their aged loved ones, and the aged loved ones also have access to a safer environment.
Innovative Senior Care Consultants hopes to be the fulcrum that ensures the care industry’s wheels keep rolling. The possibilities are endless, and Jessica and Eshonda know precisely what those possibilities are like.
The company was born from a place of love and commitment to family, and the company’s evolution has not deviated from that core purpose. More than ever, the company is now contributing to the expansion and development of its industry to help seniors live better while enjoying the best possible care.Learn more about the company and its ongoing work on the official website.
