Roderick Woodworth III, a Navy Veteran of nine years, is turning his passion into a business by opening his in-home senior care location to serve the North Houston community.
HOUSTON, March 29, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Seniors Helping Seniors® in-home care services, a franchisor with over 125 franchise partners and more than 200 territories nationwide, has grown rapidly in recent years by building a workforce of talented caregivers who create meaningful relationships with their senior care clients. Now, local resident Roderick Woodworth III has opened a new location to serve the north Houston community.
Roderick Woodworth III has a career path rooted in serving others. As a Navy veteran of nine years, Woodworth transitioned into civilian life with a robust career in communications and real estate, helping others improve their financial standing. When he found himself in a position to seek a new career opportunity, he decided to venture into franchising with Seniors Helping Seniors to serve in his North Houston community. The brand stands apart in the in-home care industry by prioritizing the hiring of active seniors to help their less active counterparts.
While there were many franchise industries to consider, Woodworth's decision to choose senior care is attributed to his personal experience in caring for aging loved ones. He provided care for his grandfather when needed and has recently become his mother's caretaker, giving him the insight to realize she needed more help than he could give her. This led Woodowth to start looking for a new career opportunity and a way to provide a meaningful service to people in his community.
"I enjoy providing service to others. I served in the military. In real estate investment, I was always helping people increase their finances or positions. In realizing that my mother could use a little extra help, I saw the value in what Seniors Helping Seniors could provide for her and others in a similar situation. Now I am helping the seniors in my community, " Woodworth said.
