Granny Nannies

Granny NANNIES is an American franchise Brand system specializing in assisting families with home care services for seniors. Headquartered in Longwood, Florida, the company through its network of independently owned and operated franchises help nearly families across 9 states. Granny NANNIES is an alternative to nursing homes, referring private duty home care aides for a wide range of conditions that may affect daily life. Granny NANNIES only refers Certified Nursing Assistants (CNAs) and Home Health Aides (HHAs) to provide care for loved ones whose family is located in distant states, those who desire special personal care for their loved ones and those who are no longer able to care for themselves. Granny NANNIES matches clients with private duty caregivers to provide care services in the home, hospital, assisted living facility or nursing home. Professional caregivers are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, or as needed. Granny NANNIES works in conjunction with Medicare and does not compete with Hospice services. Most private insurance and workers compensation are accepted. Granny NANNIES was founded in 1990 when Rob and Kirsten Hodgson needed senior home care for Rob’s aging grandmother, Esther Dowding, 87 at the time. Rob initially planned to hire a caregiver for Esther, but due to a lack of service, it fell through. They could not find competent, caring and affordable assistance that would allow Rob’s grandmother to stay in her Winter Park, Florida home. To avoid placing Esther in an assisted living facility, Rob and Kirsten moved from New Hampshire to take care of her. Based on their own personal experience and to fill the void of senior home healthcare services in Central Florida, Rob and Kirsten started Granny NANNIES of North America. In doing so, they discovered that their focus should be on more than just home nursing care, as there was a lack of services available for others struggling with daily tasks.
