Everything about Blossom is so transparent, and its founders, John and Fiona Leggott, are so honest and straightforward.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey gave us proper answers to every question we had, and we were so impressed by Blossom\u2019s refreshing approach to care in the home.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBlossom insists that all home visits last for at least 50 minutes, and that allows carers to build lasting relationships with the people they care for.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cInstead of rushing in and out, they can sit and have a coffee with them or play a game of Scrabble, and help them retain more of the things that make their lives worth living.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBlossom also pays its carers substantially more than the industry standard and encourages them to develop their careers and become the managers of tomorrow.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Nancy, Maureen and David put a lot of effort into researching franchises and comparing home care providers before approaching Blossom.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe all wanted to give quality care,\u201d says Maureen. \u201cSo we didn\u2019t want to make a mistake and choose the wrong company.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBlossom are passionate about what they do \u2013 just like us &#8211; and are a multi-award-winning organisation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJohn and Fiona were so lovely and welcomed us with open hands and open hearts. They\u2019re a great team to work with.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe loved their transparency. Some franchises won\u2019t open up to you about things until they\u2019re sure you\u2019re on board, so you find out about things much later.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd Blossom is a reputable and respectable brand. We\u2019re confident we\u2019re dealing with the right people.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The three partners are something of a dream team for Blossom, as David is a medical doctor with experience in a care home, Maureen has a degree in digital marketing and years of care experience, and all three have a determination to give quality care to those who need it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCaring for people in their own environment matters a lot,\u201d says David, who\u2019ll continue to work part-time as a doctor in the psychiatric sector. \u201cBlossom offers holistic care, and clients are treated more like family members.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The three partners in the Nottingham and Derby franchise hope to open additional offices as their business expands, but see the quality of care they\u2019ll be able to deliver as far more important than the considerable financial success they can also look forward to as Blossom franchisees.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Why Blossom\u2019s just what the doctor ordered for franchisees with a passion for caring Blossom Home Care\u2019s radical approach to caring for people in their own homes stood out a mile for three friends looking for a franchise to share.
