In her twenties Gabriela Moldovan was a care assistant who loved to see the happiness on people’s faces when she helped them. ‘That always felt like a gift to know I’d made someone’s day a little brighter,’ she recalls. She could never imagine that one day she would be running her own home care business.

‘What good is a person who doesn’t better the world around them?’ That’s what Dan and Paul Taherian’s dad used to say.

And it’s their caring nature that led them to set up their home care business, Sylvian Care Woking, in 2022. The brothers wanted to make a difference.

Sylvian Care is proud to welcome its newest franchise, Sylvian Care Slough, launched by a uniquely qualified team of healthcare professionals who share a deep commitment to community care. Co-Directors Dr. Kashif Minhas and Dr. Javaid Sheikh, both seasoned GPs, have embarked on this venture fuelled by a lifelong friendship and a shared vision to enhance the quality of life for the elderly and disabled in their local community.

Andrada was just 27 when she set up her home care business at the end of 2023. Since then, Sylvian Care Farnham has gone from strength to strength.

Starting a home care business can be incredibly rewarding, both personally and financially. However, the path to success is filled with potential pitfalls that can delay your launch, drain your resources, and impact your ability to provide quality care. At Sylvian Care, we've accumulated a decade of experience in the home care sector, learning invaluable lessons while supporting our franchisees through their journey. Here are seven common mistakes to avoid when starting your home care business.

Is the worry about how quickly you can bring in business holding you back?

Succeeding as a business owner is as much about choosing the right path for you as it is picking the right product or idea. Our careers are never really separate from who we are as people, of course, so it is important to consider what kind of working life you want to lead when creating that future for yourself. It has to work for you as a person as much as it does as a business.

Many aspiring franchisees wonder, "How does the process work?" From initial enquiry to franchise ownership, the journey can seem overwhelming, with numerous steps, agreements, and requirements to navigate. Having a clear roadmap is essential for making informed decisions and setting yourself up for success.

When entering the home care sector as a business owner, one of the most critical steps is obtaining registration with the Care Quality Commission (CQC). Whether you’re new to the industry or have researched homecare franchise opportunities, you’ve likely heard about delays in CQC registrations. Many don’t realise, however, that these delays often stem from application errors that lead to rejections—not just from internal backlogs at the CQC.

In entrepreneurship, personal experiences often inspire the most impactful ventures. This article explores the journey of Cristina Grancea, CEO and Founder of Sylvian Care. Exploring her deeply personal mission to improve care for the elderly and how this led to the Sylvian franchise network we see today.

Cristina shares valuable lessons on resilience, franchising, and staying motivated through adversity. If you're interested in how purpose-driven leadership can transform lives and businesses, this article offers powerful insights and practical advice.

With the help of the Sylvian Care franchise, two new partners start to turn their vision into a reality.

Every new franchisee we welcome onto the Sylvian Care community is a cause for celebration as we add another fantastic location where those most in need can access high-quality care the Sylvian way. Which is why we are so thrilled to welcome our newest partners, Samson and Joesphine, as they launch their new business in Crawley.

Sylvian Care Farnham a dedicated franchisee of Sylvian Care, is excited to announce the expansion of their territory area, further solidifying their presence in the Farnham region. This strategic move is driven by a growing demand for high-quality domiciliary care services, especially in rural locations, and marks a significant milestone in their journey with Sylvian Care.

CQC Registration marks the start of an incredible new journey for these rising stars of the care sector.

We're thrilled to announce the recent CQC registration of Sylvian Care Bexleyheath, meaning they can now throw their full energy behind delivering the kind of high-quality care their local community so desperately needs.
