GWINNETT COUNTY, Ga. - Dec. 3, 2018 - PRLog -- Annie and Felix Ekpe are pleased to announce the launch of their new in-home care business, Home Helpers of Gwinnett, Georgia.

Home Helpers is the nation's leading franchise specializing in comprehensive home care for seniors, new mothers, and individuals needing recuperative and continuing assistance.

"We are a new, local business, but Home Helpers has been in operation for more than 20 years. That means, while you have the local touch of having the owners right here in Gwinnett, you also get the benefit of a long-standing business model and national support system. Home Helpers is an industry-leading company and that makes a difference at the local level," Annie said.

Home Helpers specializes in helping families care for their loved ones so they can focus on spending quality time together – not just being full-time caregivers. Home Helpers' full-range of home care services empower clients to live healthier and more rewarding lives in the privacy, safety, and comfort of their own homes.

Home Helpers of Gwinnett offers free in-home consultations and works with each client to create a flexible, affordable care plan based on a person's individual needs. Services offered include Personal Care such as grooming, bathing, ambulation, medication reminders, and care management as well as respite care, meal preparation, laundry, light housekeeping, companionship, and transportation. Home Helpers of Gwinnett also offers free in-home care assessments.

Annie and Felix both have backgrounds in Information Technology – Annie has spent 15 years as a Software Engineer and Felix has been an IT Network Engineer for 17 years. When they decided they were ready for a career change, Annie started thinking about her life-long dream of owning a business.

"I started researching franchises and I came across Home Helpers. I understand what it's like to need a caregiver – when my dad was sick, we had to hire someone to care for him while we were at work. It was stressful to find the right person and to know that, whoever we brought in, would be filling in when we weren't there. It turned out to be a wonderful experience, but I can relate to the pain, need and sometimes desperation families and their loved ones are feeling when they're trying to find compassionate, professional, dependable care," Annie said.

"As we were learning about Home Helpers, we thought back to that time in our lives and we realized Home Helpers would be a great fit for us. We've been through what many of our clients are facing and, through our volunteer work with our church & local nonprofit organizations, we are already active caregivers in many ways. Home Helpers is a wonderful way for us to become a bigger part of this community and help more people in a new way," Felix added.
