CareBuilders at Home, a national in-home care franchise organization, is proud to announce that its Omaha franchise is now under the new leadership of Laura Augustus, a native and lifelong resident of the area.

Augustus brings a unique blend of local insight and a fresh perspective to the CareBuilders family and is committed to making a significant impact in her community. "Omaha is not just where I live; it's a part of who I am. Taking the helm at CareBuilders at Home of Omaha is a chance for me to make a real difference in the lives of people right here in my hometown."

CareBuilders at Home specializes in creating individualized care plans customized to the needs of the clients. Each location assists with activities of daily living, personal hygiene, transportation, housekeeping, and companionship. What sets CareBuilders apart is its innovative approach, including its unique Wellness Program featuring virtual caregiving and task-specific Personal Assistant Services. This flexibility, combined with a commitment to personalized care plans and a compassionate, locally focused service model, positions CareBuilders at Home as a leader in the home care industry, offering solutions that are both comprehensive and tailored to individual needs.

Alignment and Aspiration

Augustus’ journey to CareBuilders at Home began unexpectedly. After a successful 16-year career in financial services and a sudden layoff, she learned about the opportunity to take over CareBuilders of Omaha. "It was a perfect alignment of timing and aspiration. My husband and I have long wanted to own our own business, and I’ve been drawn to healthcare as way to make a different and direct impact on my community.”

Despite the critical role of home care, Augustus noticed its relative obscurity in public awareness. "Many, including friends who've navigated aging parents, weren't aware that home care was an option. It's eye-opening to see how many can benefit from our services," she added.

Demand for Home Care Grows

The current need for in-home care services highlights a significant demand for high-quality home care providers across communities throughout the United States. Valued at $93 billion, the home care industry in the U.S. is poised for rapid expansion, driven by the increasing number of individuals reaching the age of 65 in the coming years. This demographic shift underscores the growing and urgent need for comprehensive home care solutions nationwide.

Augustus praises the support she has received from CareBuilders at Home's corporate team during her transition. "From operational challenges to strategic advice, they've been there every step of the way.”

Avi Savitsky, Director of Franchise Strategy at CareBuilders at Home, welcomed Augustus to the franchise family, "Bringing Laura Augustus into the CareBuilders at Home family marks a significant milestone for our Omaha franchise. Her leadership, coupled with her genuine dedication to the community, is exactly what we need to steer our established team of caregivers, who have been the backbone of our Omaha location for years. Laura's arrival is not just a change in leadership; it's an infusion of new energy and perspective, ensuring that our long-serving staff continues to provide exceptional care under her guidance. We are excited to see how Laura's vision and commitment will enhance the lives of both our clients and our dedicated team,"

CareBuilders at Home has a storied history, founded over 35 years ago by David and Stephen Savitsky. After growing their first home care business, they established CareBuilders at Home, a family-owned franchise organization deeply committed to quality care. "We're more than a franchise; we're a family. Our goal is to support those who help families in need," David Savitsky remarked.
