The Duskin Company

The Duskin Company began in 1963 as a franchisor for cleaning products. Over the next 40 years, it diversified into food service and other service-related concepts -- developing into a recognized international expert in franchising. Even though the Japanese government maintained a sponsored health care system for seniors, Duskin chose to become the Home Instead Senior Care Master Franchise for Japan in 2000. In fact, in Japan, the concept of non-medical care for seniors was entirely new, and a word for "companionship" had yet to be created. Still, in 2003, the Duskin Company decided to change its entire focus to senior care. Within the first five years of serving as Home Instead Senior Care's Master Franchise, Duskin opened an amazing 130 franchises in Japan.


"Home Instead Senior Care is truly a business of the heart. With your unfailing assistance and cooperation, we will continue to put our focus on providing services to the many seniors in Japan who need personal care - care that speaks to the heart."
