The Premier Homecare Services Story

Our President, David J. Watson was inspired to start a homecare business while assisting his mother, father, and in-laws through their life transitions. While researching his options for his mother’s care and not finding the quality of services that best suited his families’ needs, David realized he could make a difference, not just in the senior care industry, but by providing reliable and compassionate services for people of all ages.

Inspiration, Passion & Drive

Premier Homecare Services was founded in November of 2003. David opened his first office in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, intending to service Toronto surrounding region. He designed the first Premier Logo (shown right) which prominently featured his parents… his inspiration behind Premier Homecare Services.

After setting up the infrastructure, David got to work. Through advertising, appearing on television, knocking on doors, handing out flyers and many other marketing tasks, David acquired his first client and has since never looked back. He met with caregivers, clients and their families and began the journey of developing a solid company foundation… the PREMIER wheels were rolling!

Building a Reputation in the Community

It wasn’t long before the phones were ringing steadily and business was growing. With a strong commitment to community based resources and education, and most especially a commitment to PREMIER customer service, Premier Homecare Services quickly became known as a professional and reliable home care company where all clients are made to feel like family.

Premier Homecare Services incorporated at the start of January of 2005 and in the autumn of that year Premier went through a creative re-branding process to develop a new logo, tag-line and consistent company image.

Franchising the Homecare Model

In November 2007 David decided it was time to share his success with those who have an entrepreneurial spirit and a desire to help others. In March of 2008, David purchased a Franchised Homecare Business called Angel Associates out of Kitchener, Ontario with 5 franchises already operating in Ontario. The existing franchisees underwent an extensive rebranding process and over time the transition over to Premier Homecare Services proved to be a huge success, leading to strong growth under their new relationship. The Premier Homecare Services team was now 6 offices strong, spreading across Ontario.

"The CFA Award of Excellence in Franchising is truly a measure of success in the franchising industry and we are ecstatic to have placed so well, winning gold in our category!” exclaimed David Watson upon receipt of the award. “I dedicate this distinction to the franchisees especially, because without their dedication and unrelenting support this never could have happened."

A number of franchise office locations across Ontario and British Columbia were successful in achieving their Accreditation status, either for the first time or as a renewal.
