Homewatch International Announces Central American Franchise Opening

HWCG Central American Services S.A. Opens First Franchise in San Jose, Costa Rica

(Tuesday, April 10, 2007) - Homewatch International, offering
Homewatch CareGivers franchises, has announced the formal opening of its
first Central American franchise, providing independence and peace-of-mind
through professional in-home care services. The new franchise is operated
by HWCG Central American Services S.A., which purchased the master
franchise rights to Costa Rica as well as Guatemala and Panama in late
2006.
The opening was marked by a ceremony at the U.S. Embassy and home of
United States Ambassador to Costa Rica, Mark Langdale, in San Jose, Costa
Rica. In remarks at the event, Langdale observed that an increasing number
of Costa Ricans and Americans are baby boomers with aging parents.
"This means that we have the responsibility of guarding them during
their old days, so that they can live this stage of their life with dignity
and all the care they deserve," said Langdale. "Homewatch CareGivers is a
service that helps us fulfill this great responsibility."
Also attending was Luis Diego Osborne, President of HWCG Central
American Services S.A.
"We're proud to be the first Homewatch CareGivers franchise in Central
America," said Osborne. "We look forward to serving Costa Rica through
Homewatch CareGivers, providing our clients with respect, dignity,
compassion and the best in-home care service possible."
The San Jose franchise provides an advanced continuum of care,
including comprehensive personal care, companionship and homemaking, with
flexible home care scheduling and 24-hour service.
Many Central American countries are seeing a growing demand for in-home
care services, especially as the population ages. Currently, less than
eight percent of the Central American population of 40 million is over 65
compared to about 12.5 percent of the population in the U.S. However,
research shows that the percentage of the population over 65 in Central
America will rise to more than 20 percent by 2050.
Homewatch International President, Leann Reynolds, recognizes the
strong potential of the Central American market.
"The increase in need for quality in-home care services in Central
America represents a great opportunity for our franchise to expand," said
Reynolds. "HWCG Central American Services S.A. brings a wealth of business
and marketing experience to support its growth and success in San Jose and
Central America," said Reynolds.
Unlike other home care agencies, Homewatch CareGivers helps families
provide care to individuals of all ages, including new moms or parents who
just need a day or two of home care for a child.
In addition to building strong relationships with franchise owners and
their staff, Homewatch International offers large, exclusive territories,
diversified revenue streams and superior marketing power.
