home care business - Senior Home Care Franchise

Transform Your Franchise into a Resource for the Community

When most people think about the term “marketing,” they’ve got dollars and cents in mind. While it’s important to keep your eyes on the bottom line at all times, marketing can also play a crucial role when it comes to establishing your senior care franchise as a community resource. Following are some ideas to help you maximize revenue while creating a strong local presence for your business.

In the Digital Realm

A recent blog post here discussed how you can use the power of social media to market your franchise effectively. You can also use social media tools like Facebook and Twitter to reach out to people and organizations in your community.

Here’s how:

-Find and follow influential individuals and organizations within your community, then take the time to introduce yourself and interact.

-Promote local events – even those for which your business is not directly involved. This shows that you’re “plugged in” to what’s going on in your area.

-Show what you’re doing to benefit the community. Don’t be shy! If you’re doing good things in your area, people should know about them!

Other digital marketing strategies that can double as excellent community-involvement tactics include using local guest bloggers on your blog or website, performing Search Engine Optimization (SEO) to ensure that you stand out and updating your local business listings on Google, Facebook, Foursquare and Yelp.

In the “Real World”

Becoming a resource for your community is only possible when you actively pursue opportunities to show people in your area who you are. Of course, you’re busy running a business, but you need to remember that part of running any successful business is marketing and local outreach. Thankfully, it doesn’t take that much time to take positive steps toward making your franchise a local mainstay and source of pride.

Here are some ideas you can try outside the digital realm:

-Organize community outreach projects with businesses that are in adjacent industries. For example, you could work with the local clinic or the chiropractor next door to organize a fundraising event that benefits local shelters or food pantries.

-Sponsor the local Little-League team. Kids’ sporting events bring families out of their homes so they can gather together. Be a part of the community bonding that happens by donating money, equipment or uniforms to a local team. You’ll get great publicity, plus you’ll show that you and your business support events that bring people together.

-Send personalized notes. Is there a new business in your zip code? Have you been meeting with potential clients? Do you want to let someone know that you appreciate the work they did for your business? In this era of digital communications, a personalized “thank-you” or “welcome” means more than it ever has, and it can help you establish your business as a true pillar of the community.

Five Essential Tips on Hiring the Best Caregivers for Your Franchise

One of the first challenges you’ll face as a senior-care franchisee is the process of hiring help. During the initial stages of your business, you’ll probably find yourself wearing numerous hats – sometimes all of the hats – as your franchise gets off the ground. Eventually, though, there will come a time when it simply makes sense to bring new people on board. The subject of hiring has been addressed previously on the blog (link to: https://franchisewithalwaysbestcare.ca/hiring-staff-for-your-home-care-business/), but it’s important to focus on how you can hire the best caregivers, specifically.

Following are five essential tips on hiring the most qualified and effective caregivers for your senior-care franchise.

Always Have a Plan
As a business person, you understand that positive results usually only happen when you have a plan. This goes for hiring caregivers for your franchise, as well. Before you start recruiting, make sure that your business plan accounts for a method of bringing on new staff members. It’s also important to research compensation and benefits packages that will help you attract the best candidates. You might also consider incentive programs that will make it easier for you to attract – and retain – caregivers that truly make a difference.
Understand Seniors’ Needs
Do you know what your clients really want and need when it comes to their care? What are they asking for? What kinds of personalities do they respond to? Do you understand the specific challenges associated with your unique group of clients? By analyzing and understanding the distinctive needs of your seniors, you can hire caregivers that align perfectly with the requirements of your client base.
Cast a Wide Net
You can certainly save time and money by limiting your advertising and recruiting efforts, but you’re only sabotaging your own business in the long run. Research the best places to advertise for new hires, and take advantage of as many of them as you can. Remember that it’s important to use both traditional media and methods (newspapers, employment and trade publications) and more recent innovations (social media, online forums and job boards, etc.) to make the largest pool of qualified candidates aware of your needs.
Proper Interview Preparation
You’ve probably had to prepare for several job interviews over the years as a candidate, but now you find yourself on the other side of the recruitment desk. On this side, it’s just as – if not more – important to prepare properly for interviews. Have questions ready and be poised to answer candidates’ questions about your business accurately and expertly. But remember that it’s important to not keep your nose buried in interview notes while you’re speaking with candidates; this can keep you from noticing when you’ve built an instant rapport with the ideal candidate!
Trust Your Instincts and Training
You entered the senior-care franchise industry to make a difference in your life and the lives of others. Your instincts have led you to this point. Your training and diligence have helped you lift your business off the ground. When it’s time to hire caregivers, remember the things that have helped you become successful thus far. If you’re prepared well for the process of hiring caregivers, you can rest assured that the instincts and training that have gotten you to this point will also help you find the ideal candidates for your growing business.

Help is on the Way!

Congratulations! You’ve reached the point at which hiring caregivers is the logical next step in the growth of your senior-care business. Getting to this level has required you to build your business intelligently and with a great deal of hard work. Thankfully, hiring caregivers will mean that you won’t have to work quite so hard in the future, which will allow you to concentrate on the next steps for the continuation of your franchise’s growth.

Five Franchise Myths Debunked

If you find yourself thinking about new professional opportunities, you will probably perform some research on franchising. Becoming a franchise owner is attractive because it gives you the best of two professional worlds: the ability to operate your own business independently, but with the support of a successful organization behind you. If you are intrigued by franchising, you may run into some conflicting reports about what it is like to operate your own franchise. However, it can be difficult decoding myth from reality when it comes to franchise facts.

To help you make the best possible decision for your future, here is a list of some of the more common myths about running your own franchise. These myths only serve to muddy the waters in regards to franchising, and they discourage potential franchise owners from pursuing fulfilling opportunities.

Franchise Myth #1 – “Most Franchises Fail Within the First Year of Operation”

The first year of operating any business is difficult, and franchises are no exception. However, the fact is that most businesses do, in fact, survive their first year of operation, and less than 40% of businesses fail within the first two years of existence. As long as you go into franchising with a solid plan, sufficient capital and strong financing, you’ll have a solid base with which to begin.

Franchise Myth #2 – “There’s No Real Freedom in Franchising”

This myth has persisted for quite a while, even though it is just not true. One of the main reasons people go into business for themselves is to gain more professional freedom. They want to escape the corporate structure, and they think that the presence of corporate backing in a franchise situation is just another way to become a “cog in the machine.” The truth is that you are the real boss in your franchise, regardless of the franchisor you’ve partnered with. You are responsible for decisions impacting advertising, marketing, hiring and managing. Of course, with a franchise, you always have help available, but when it’s your franchise unit, the buck stops with you.

Franchise Myth #3 – “There’s No Creativity in Franchising”

Similar to Myth #2, this one assumes that some franchisor representative or policy will stifle any creative decisions made by franchisees. Thankfully, this one is also untrue! Certainly, the franchisor will monitor and guide certain aspects of your business, but those guidelines only exist because they have been proven to boost performance, whether they pertain to uniforms, signs or other facets of the operation. Moreover, many of the best policies that franchisors have implemented have come from the creative suggestions of franchise owners.

Franchise Myth #4 – “The Right Franchise Opportunity Doesn’t Exist”

So many people wait for the perfect opportunity, then never actually take any chances. A casual glance at franchise opportunities may reveal that the bulk of professional options exist within just a few industries, but those who scratch a little more deeply under the surface find that franchising opportunities are available for just about every interest, budget and skill level.

Franchise Myth #5 – “I Just Can’t Afford a Franchise”

It takes money to buy into a franchise, but it takes an investment of some kind to get into any kind of business, regardless of your level of involvement. Before you dismiss franchise ownership because you’ve heard some figures related to popular mega brands, investigate some of the lesser known industries and you’ll find that some franchises are much more affordable to start than others. The senior home care industry, for example, is rewarding, and the cost of entry is much less than you might expect.

Is Franchising the Right Opportunity for You?

Franchising is not ideal for everyone who wants to go into business, but it shouldn’t be discounted because of some persistent myths. For many people, franchise ownership provides the perfect balance between complete autonomy and corporate backing. The lesson here is that there are common myths about franchising that might be keeping you and others from experiencing the perfect professional balance. Don’t let them hold you back any longer!

Always Best Care® Territories Create Greater Opportunities for Franchisees

Most senior care franchises claim to “protect” a territory by making the senior citizens who live within the territory exclusive to a particular franchisee. The problem, according to Michael Newman, founder and Chief Executive Officer of California-based Always Best Care® Senior Services, is that franchisees are dependent on the many different health care industry professionals who actually refer seniors who need care – and neither the referral source nor the franchisees have any control over where those seniors may live.

Always Best Care is one of the nation’s leading providers of non-medical in-home care, assisted living finder/referral services and skilled home health care. The company delivers its services through an international network of more than 200 independently owned and operated franchise territories and area representatives throughout the United States.

According to Mr. Newman, the senior care industry is a referral-based industry – and what drives growth are relationships with the many referral sources within each franchisee’s protected territory. The senior citizens receiving care, however, may live anywhere, not exclusively within the territory.

As a result, Always Best Care franchises may serve customers both inside and outside their defined territories, as they are not limited to serving clients only within a specific area.
Always Best Care protects the actual referral sources in our franchisees’ territories. These sources are the true originators of revenue for our franchise owners. They introduce seniors and their families to the franchise owners. “Our territory policy is designed to protect the franchisees’ marketing efforts and all channels of referrals and revenue inside their defined territories,” explained Mr. Newman.

“This also avoids the problems faced in other franchise systems where multiple franchisees all sell to the same referral sources in multiple territories. When a referral source provides a new referral,” he said, “if that potential client happens to live in another franchisee’s territory, all of the hard work to build the relationship with the professional referral source just went to someone else. That is most definitely not the case with Always Best Care!”

Always Best Care franchise territories are determined by contiguous zip codes. Each territory is protected and exclusive, encompassing a minimum population base of 200,000 people. The company also balances each territory to include a roughly comparable number of referral sources based on the inherent differences in individual areas.

Always Best Care Senior Services Launches Manager-Driven Franchise Model for the Senior Home Care Industry

Always Best Care Senior Services revolutionized the senior care industry when it introduced its exclusive outsourced staffing program, provided free to franchisees for their first six months to allow them to concentrate on immediate revenue-generating activities.

Now Always Best Care has done it again!

“Introducing the semi-absentee executive business model for the senior care industry,” proclaimed Michael Newman, founder and Chief Executive Officer of Always Best Care.

The semi-absentee executive model (also known as an investor or manager-driven model) is designed for persons who want to invest and prosper in the growing and recession-resistant senior care industry, but who are not looking for a new full-time operating position.

Always Best Care is one of the nation’s leading providers of non-medical in-home care, assisted living placement services, and skilled home health care. The company delivers its services through an international network of more than 180 independently owned and operated franchise territories.

Traditionally, virtually all franchises in the senior care industry have been awarded to persons who have a passion for serving the senior community, who want to make a difference in people’s lives while they build a business, often who have had a personal experience caring for a senior relative, and who want to be “hands-on” in operating their businesses, according to Mr. Newman.

“With the dramatic growth of the senior care industry,” he said, “we’ve been seeing more and more business-savvy individuals who see the opportunities inherent in an industry that’s projected to continue on a growth curve for the next 30 years. They’re not seeking a job or a position running a small office, however – they’re looking for an investment opportunity where they can open multiple offices and utilize their leadership and management skills in building a larger-scale business than has traditionally been the case in senior care.”

To qualify for the semi-absentee model, prospective franchisees must have a minimum liquidity of $150,000 and a minimum net worth of $500,000. They’re required to purchase two or more territories, follow a prescribed hiring plan, and maintain a minimum required local marketing program.

According to Mr. Newman, the ideal candidate for the Always Best Care semi-absentee model is someone with prior business management experience who understands the model represents a long-term investment with a goal to grow the business and maximize equity value, versus developing immediate short term income. “Additionally, he added, “the ideal candidate must be willing to relinquish controls to a manager as he or she builds a long-term business opportunity.”

A strong training program is essential to help these candidates develop the right attitudes, the right practices and the right culture for their businesses, Mr. Newman explained. “Accordingly, we’ll provide an extensive training program for both the owner and managers of the new offices,” he said, “including several weeks of what we call ‘pre-training,’ then seven days of classroom training, nearly two weeks of in-the-field training and of course on-going support from our nationwide team of area representatives and the field support office.”

The Always Best Care® Business Model Provides Franchisees with Multiple Revenue Streams

With Always Best Care® Senior Services, one of the nation’s fastest growing senior care systems, franchisees can drive revenue while building local credibility and visibility with their referral sources, thanks to an additional revenue stream from assisted living finder and referral services, according to founder and Chief Executive Officer Mike Newman.

“The beauty of our three revenue streams,” added Mr. Newman, “is that they all flow from the same referral sources. Once an Always Best Care franchisee has established his/her professionalism and business acumen with those referral sources, they have three distinct opportunities to generate revenue. This is exceptionally rare in the senior care business, where most providers generally only offer one of the three services.”

The assisted living finder and referral services is a true bonus for many new franchisees, especially in states that require home care licensing. While obtaining a home care license may be a relatively quick endeavor in most cases, it also has the potential of delaying a new franchisee’s ability to derive income from the provision of in-home care.

Assisted living finder and referral services does not require any licensing, and since business emanates from the same referral sources as other services, it allows Always Best Care business owners to begin establishing their local credentials and positioning with those referral services while they are awaiting their home care license.

Plus – assisted living finder and referral services are free to clients – all fess are paid by assisted living communities. Importantly, many families who begin as home care referrals later decide to move into an assisted living community. A business built around only one or the other service can only capture a limited share of market.

These are some of the specific services offered in each of Always Best Care’s three service areas:

Non-medical in-home care – Always Best Care’s in-home care services include: Personal care, companionship, transportation; assistance with the activities of daily living, such as dressing, meal preparation, bathing, grooming, transportation, light housekeeping, assistance with walking, attending local events, visiting friends and neighbors, and others.

Assisted living finder and referral services – Always Best Care franchisees match clients with three or four assisted living partners that offer the most appropriate living options based upon the client’s needs, custom screening and available budgets. This service includes escorting clients and their families on personal tours of the matched communities, introducing them to residents and team members, often sharing a meal – all to help the family make an informed decision on which senior housing option is best for them.

Skilled home health care – Where available, Always Best Care’s home health team of professional skilled nurses and licensed therapists provide clients with an organized, thorough and completely individualized plan created with their specific needs in mind and often in conjunction with the primary care plan developed by the client’s physician. Skilled care services may include: Medication management, wound care, diabetic care, pain management, disease management and therapy, injections and IV therapy, post surgery care, speech therapy, occupational and physical therapy, blood draws and others.

Comprehensive Franchisee Training Helps Franchisees Launch Senior Care Businesses

Always Best Care^®, one of the nation’s fastest growing senior care systems, offers franchisees a six-week multi-tiered standard of training and support through its ABC University^®, one of the most comprehensive and extensive programs in the senior care industry.

The Always Best Care training program focuses on the operational activities of setting up, managing, and marketing a business that provides warm, compassionate and professional care for seniors and others. The Always Best Care training system combines both corporate and local support for franchisees – a distinct benefit that provides a local coach, mentor and business advisor in close proximity to the franchisees’ territories. Training is divided into modules that combine field and classroom settings. One-on-one coaching and web-based seminars are provided.

Always Best Care corporate team members and Area Representatives work with new franchisees during an extensive training program that can be completed in as little as six weeks. This includes both initial and ongoing training and support as well as classroom training at Always Best Care’s international headquarters in Roseville, CA (just outside Sacramento) and field training in a franchisee’s local marketing area.

“I am exceptionally proud of the Always Best Care training and support system,” said Michael Newman, founder and Chief Executive Officer of Always Best Care. “Without question, we strive to create a gold standard that provides a distinct advantage to our franchisees.”

The Always Best Care training focuses on three distinct phases: Pre-classroom training; classroom training and field training – all designed to ensure the most efficient startup process for new franchisees …

Pre-Classroom Training: New owners focus on a series of operations-based training modules. This phase of the program includes a kick-off webinar, office set up, introduction to the Learning Management System (virtual learning tool), and senior community and account management preparation. New owners will also complete all critical administration tasks, including insurance requirements, non-medical licensing applications, ordering print and marketing material, and conducting a competitive analysis of their market.
Classroom Training: During the second phase, owners participate in seven days of intensive classroom training at Always Best Care’s headquarters. This includes a review and discussion of key topics including operations, marketing, caregiver on-boarding and staffing, client management, and instruction on how to develop key strategic alliances in the marketplace.Classroom training also encompasses guest speakers on a wide range of topics such as insurance, payroll, and veteran’s affairs, as well as tours of Sacramento area skilled nursing facilities and senior communities. Additionally, trainees network with fellow franchisees during class and have an opportunity to spend time with founder and Chief Executive Newman, Chief Operating Officer Jake Brown, Vice President of Franchise Operations David Caesar and Vice President of Marketing Barry Parrish.

Field Training: After completing classroom training, franchisees participate in nine days of in-the-field training, three of which are spent with their local coach at their location. This part of the training program concentrates on developing relations with assisted living communities, interviewing and hiring caregivers, referral marketing, networking in the marketplace, public relations, and staffing.

Field training also provides new owners with an opportunity to work with their Area Representative in the market during a three-day session. The training session includes referral marketing and client visits, a review of community tours, the status of the new owner’s caregiver team, a discussion about the franchisee’s strengths and challenges, a detailed plan that incorporates the ten areas of focus, and a written field training summary, with emphasis placed on skill sets, roles, expectations, and goals.

“The goal of our training program is to prepare franchisees for the launch of their new businesses,” explained Mr. Newman, “and to provide them with the tools they need to build those businesses while making true differences in people’s lives.”

85% of Senior Retirees Prefer to Receive Care from Their Own Home

According to a new study conducted by Merrill Lynch and Age Wave, 85% of senior retirees age 50 and over say that they prefer to receive care from their homes, if they need long-term help. 10% of seniors prefer assisted living communities, while only 4% of seniors said that they would prefer to receive care in the home of a family member.

Data also shows that residents of nursing homes have declined over the past decade, while seniors receiving care from their homes or choosing assisted living communities have significantly increased.

Because about 3/4 of people over the age of 85 have trouble completing daily tasks and activities, more seniors in the U.S are utilizing the benefits of professional in-home care services from companies like Always Best Care.

In fact, more than half of seniors age 75 and older are living alone, making non-medical home care beneficial for both health and social needs, as caregivers are able to offer companionship that seniors would otherwise not have.

The demand for trusted senior care services is increasing, as is the need for motivated professionals to open home care businesses. To learn more about opening a senior care franchise with Always Best Care, don’t hesitate to download your very own copy of our FREE franchising eBook today!
