National Survey Details How Caring for Aging Loved Ones Impacts Mental Health and Wellness

BALTIMORE — May is Mental Health Awareness Month, and Senior Helpers^®, the nation’s premier provider of in-home senior care services, has just released the findings of a 1,000 person survey that highlights the need to help family caregivers manage factors that can impact mental health. With more than 65 million people across America acting as family caregivers¹, it is a far-reaching issue. The Senior Helpers survey found that most family caregivers experience constant pressure and combat periodic anxiety and depression. The results confirmed the need to help family caregivers with a periodic break from their struggles with the emotional and mental demands of providing care.

“While caring for loved ones can be extremely rewarding, it is also very taxing on family members. For many families the requirement for around-the-clock care results in tremendous sacrifice and effort,” said Peter Ross, CEO and founder of Senior Helpers. “We are acutely aware of the challenges that family caregivers face and are deeply committed to offering families an alternative that can help ease the hardship of being the sole caregiver while still allowing their loved ones to age in place.”

The implications of this new information are significant: today’s family caregivers face challenges with anxiety, depression and maintaining a healthy work/life balance. The survey found:

Anxiety & Depression — 77% of caregivers have personally experienced anxiety and/or depression
No Breaks or Balance — 42% are working so hard that they do not have the time or energy for their other responsibilities
Caregiving Obligation — 68% became caregivers because no one else could help
Working & Caregiving — 53% believe that caregiving has kept them from other income
Rewarding Service — Despite the challenges, 54% of respondents feel a sense of purpose and fulfillment from caregiving for their loved one

With over 300 locations across the nation, Senior Helpers’ mission is to ensure a better quality of life for elderly clients and their families by providing dependable and affordable care to seniors so that they may age in place with dignity. “Whether families need occasional assistance or continuous care, we offer a wide range of professionally supervised, affordable services that range from specialized care for those with Alzheimer’s and dementia, to companion and personal care and even housekeeping assistance,” added Ross.

National staffing franchise selects the City of Riverside for expansion of G&M Hire Enterprises’ fourth location

RIVERSIDE, Calif. — AtWork Group, an award-winning national staffing franchise, recently announced their latest expansion in California. The new location was awarded to local entrepreneurs Gregg Hassler and Moses Rangel, whose Southern California-based AtWork franchise—located at 11801 Pierce St., Suite 200 in Riverside, CA—will provide staffing services to employers throughout the surrounding areas. This is Hassler and Rangel’s fourth Southern California AtWork Group location.

“The City of Riverside presented an ideal expansion market for AtWork SoCal,” said franchise owner Gregg Hassler. “The City’s centralized location, its status as a regional economic hub and the benefit of proximity to several current clients made selecting Riverside an easy choice.”

AtWork Riverside specializes in delivering effective staffing solutions for employers seeking clerical, professional and light industrial employees. AtWork’s flexible options include temporary, temp-to-hire, full time career placement services and payroll accommodation. The company provides contingent labor and direct-hire talent search services for some of the region’s most respected employers.

“Thanks to its well-established infrastructure for business development, combined with a lowering unemployment rate, Southern California it the ideal location for our latest expansion,” said Jason Leverant, president and COO of AtWork Group. “With Hassler and Rangel’s experience in the staffing industry, I am confident their business will soon grow to become a vital player in the area’s business growth and development!”

“We look forward to building quality relationships with employers and candidates in Riverside. Our goal as a locally-owned staffing service is to provide the personalized, responsive services that national corporate-owned agencies simply can’t deliver,” said Hassler. “As the AtWork Group continues a successful expansion in California through its locally-owned entrepreneurial model, we are proud to lead the way in Riverside and San Diego Counties.”

AtWork SoCal Director of Marketing Charlie Hoey credits the company’s growth and success to experience, hard work, determination and a talented team of dedicated employees.

“Four years ago we started at zero with the Temecula location,” Hoey said. “Today AtWork SoCal’s offices rank in the top ten, in terms of revenues and candidates placed, out of over 75 branches nationwide. Our employees understand their success is tied to the company’s success, and we very much appreciate their dedication to this enterprise.”

AtWork SoCal’s Regional Director Judy Contreras, who will be leading the Riverside Office’s operations, said the City of Riverside holds great potential for AtWork’s unique model of local ownership backed by national resources.

“The fact that we are owned and operated locally and have strong community connections means we are able to quickly respond to clients’ staffing needs,” Contreras said. “I expect the City of Riverside AtWork office to hit the ground running since there’s already an existing client base and multiple prospects waiting for AtWork to open nearby. I encourage local employers to consider AtWork as a potential Human Resources partner and take advantage of our team’s decades of experience sourcing, recruiting, delivering and managing quality employees.”

Growing Coffeehouse Franchise Embarks on Southwest Expansion; Plans to Open 180 Locations in Texas in Next 10 Years

HOUSTON — PJ’s Coffee of New Orleans, a New Orleans-based coffeehouse that demonstrates a “southern hospitality” experience, the freshest products, and better beans with superior roasting technique, has announced rapid expansion plans for Texas with hopes to bring 180 new locations within the next 10 years. The region’s plethora of added storefronts will center in the state’s four largest cities with 60 locations slated for Houston, 25 for Austin, 40 for San Antonio and 55 in Dallas-Fort Worth.

The planned coffeehouses will join the three PJ’s Coffee locations already seeing success in Cypress, Downtown Houston and Pearland. Pearland franchisee, Kyra Sam, opened the 100^th PJ’s Coffee location in August 2018 at 12640 Broadway St., Ste. 102 as has since found incredible success in her first year of operation.

“As a New Orleans native and former general manager of a PJ’s coffee in Louisiana, I wanted to bring the coffee houses’ superior product that I loved so much to the people of Pearland,” said Sam. “Since opening, I have seen success I could not have imagined. This journey has allowed me to become the entrepreneur I always hoped to be. With the unmatched support that PJ’s Coffee offers its franchisees, I look forward to continuing to grow with the brand. I can’t wait for their further expansion throughout Texas!”

PJ’s Coffee serves a wide variety of iced, frozen, hot, cold brew, and nitro-infused coffees using only the top one percent of Arabica beans, as well as organic tea and fresh breakfast pastries. PJ’s famous iced coffees are brewed daily using a special cold-drip process that protects the flavor and strength of the beans, while producing a coffee that is two thirds less acidic – a process pioneered by PJ’s Coffee founder, Phyllis Jordan, decades ago.

“At PJ’s coffee we are committed to serving up a top-tier product rooted in southern hospitality. As we sought further expansion, Texas became an obvious choice as an area with similar values and upbeat vibe,” said David Mesa, Chief Development Officer of PJ’s Coffee. “We look forward to rapidly expanding and consistently adding to the PJ’s coffee family in our neighboring state because you know what they say- everything’s bigger and better in Texas.”

To become a part of the ever-growing $100 Billion a year global industry, prospective franchisees can expect a total investment range between $185,000 – $360,000 for non-traditional franchise units, and $350,000 – $566,000 for traditional units. The operating model and menu is adaptable to any environment with different options from kiosks to free-standing locations with a drive-thru, ranging from a few hundred square feet up to 2,200 square feet.

The Patch Boys Launches EIGHT New Locations in A Two-Week Span

Tatyana Stemkovski2019-05-15T14:58:51-04:00May 15th, 2019|Tags: drywall repair franchise, home repair franchise, repair drywall damage, The Patch Boys|

LAKEWOOD, NJ – The Patch Boys, America’s FIRST AND MOST TRUSTED drywall repair franchise company, has awarded EIGHT new locations in the last two weeks, including territories in Idaho, Nevada, North Carolina and New York.

A completely mobile business, The Patch Boys provides homeowners, landlords, property managers and business owners with a highly-focused wall patching service. These are jobs that are usually too small for most contractors and beyond the average homeowner’s skill set.

“The growth we’re experiencing, coupled with the quality of investors we’re attracting, is a great testimonial to our niche business,” said Leo Goldberger, Founder and CEO. “We offer a unique, in-demand service to the consumer, and a low-cost, high-margin opportunity for investors,” continued Goldberger.

In addition to working with homeowners, landlords and property management companies, The Patch Boys also provides services directly to general contractors, roofers, electricians, plumbers, HVAC companies and other trade professionals who want to add-on drywall repair services to their customers, but don’t have the staff or expertise to do it themselves. The Patch Boy’s simple business model and proprietary computer technology allows franchise owners the luxury of operating the business from the comfort of their own homes, and around their own schedules.

“Not only are we America’s FIRST AND MOST TRUSTED drywall repair franchise company, but we’re also one of the fastest-growing, home-based concepts out there,” said Curt Swanson, COO and VP of Operations. “Even more importantly, we have seen a spike in female ownership over the past couple of months, which further demonstrates and validates the hard work our staff has put in to promote the concept and the mind-boggling growth we have experienced,” continued Swanson.

With the 80+ current locations, The Patch Boys is dedicated to continually innovating and improving.

About The Patch Boys

Founded in 2008 by entrepreneur Leo Goldberger, The Patch Boys has become the go-to resource for a reliable and efficient drywall repair. Recognizing that most general contractors and other trade industry professionals lack the time and resources to repair drywall damage caused by their services and other unforeseen forces, The Patch Boys gets their properties back to normal as quickly as possible. Franchising since 2015, this rapidly growing company has more than 70 locations across the country. The Patch Boys had become a popular investment opportunity for its low price of entry, high margins, and simple, home-based model.

Family Prepares To Bring Big Blue Swim School to Salt Lake City

Tatyana Stemkovski2019-05-14T14:34:53-04:00May 14th, 2019|Tags: Big Blue Swim School, child care franchise, child education franchise, child engagement specialists, Shorewood Development Group, swim school franchise|

Husband-and-Wife Franchisee Duo Zack and Brittany Groesbeck signed a three-unit deal to bring the technology-rich swim instruction concept to the Salt Lake City market.

SALT LAKE CITY — Leading swim instruction franchise Big Blue Swim School is coming to Salt Lake City this year as part of a three-unit deal signed by husband-and-wife franchisees Zack and Brittany Groesbeck. The pair own a series of sunglass retail locations throughout Utah and Zack is a Director of Sales for Maui Jim Sunglasses. The Groesbecks are still working with the Big Blue development team to secure prime real estate, but plan to open one location each year for the next three years and to potentially develop the entire Utah market.

Founded by U.S. National Champion swimmer Chris DeJong after he missed qualifying for the U.S. Olympic team in 2004 and 2008 by three-tenths of a second—just behind Michael Phelps—Big Blue Swim School takes a holistic approach to swim instruction, developing critical life skills like confidence and self-esteem consistent with children’s developmental levels. Big Blue is now positioned to become a dominant player in the $20 billion swim school industry thanks to key differentiators such as Lesson Buddy™, a proprietary and easy-to-use lesson management platform and customer self-service mobile app; a proven curriculum; and optimized operational model involving data-driven capacity planning.

The Groesbecks’ journey to Big Blue Swim School is a fascinating one. After witnessing a tragic drowning incident at their local pool several summers ago, the Groesbecks—themselves parents of two young children—knew that they wanted to commit themselves to promoting pool safety and providing unparalleled swim instruction through a swim school franchising opportunity. They first looked into Goldfish Swim School, where their children were enrolled. After unsuccessfully negotiating territories with Goldfish, Zack decided to look elsewhere. Once the Groesbecks learned about Big Blue’s proprietary teaching and real estate-sourcing technology, scheduling software and dual-pool model, they were hooked.

The Groesbecks have signed a three-unit development deal with plans to open one location a year for three years, along with the goal of eventually developing the entire market and expanding the Big Blue footprint to eight or nine locations. The duo is presently in the midst of locking in real estate for their first location, but is ecstatic to bring Big Blue Swim School to Salt Lake City this year.

“Zack and Brittany are just truly awesome people,” said Big Blue Swim School’s Chief Development Officer, Scott Thompson. “They have young kids in a swim school and Brittany herself embodies our target customer, so they have an incredibly valuable perspective. Additionally, they understand the Salt Lake City market and are right in-line with Big Blue’s philosophy concerning the importance of water safety and swim education. We’re thrilled to welcome them to the Big Blue family.”

The Groesbecks identified Salt Lake City as the perfect market for Big Blue Swim School development because Utah claims the youngest population in the U.S. and families in the state often include four or more children.

“It’s an extremely family-oriented community—every extra dollar goes to their children, and into extracurricular activities or programs to their benefit,” said Brittany Groesbeck.

“Today, parents are leery of contact sports and looking for alternatives for their children,” said Zack Groesbeck. “That’s Big Blue Swim School.”

ABOUT BIG BLUE SWIM SCHOOL

Big Blue Swim School was founded in 2009 by competitive swimmer Chris DeJong. The first location opened in Wilmette, followed by Niles, Buffalo Grove and Hoffman Estates. In 2017, Level 5 Capital Partners acquired a majority stake in the brand, and is rolling out an aggressive strategy to grow through franchising to 150 locations by 2020. Big Blue Swim School’s real estate footprint, proprietary technology Lesson Buddy, coupled with its practice of employing full-time child engagement specialists that teach based on a proprietary distance-based swimming methodology sets Big Blue up for long-term success.

Company recognizes performances from franchisees as some of the best in the country

ATLANTA — EmployBridge recently celebrated a number of outstanding achievements at its recent Annual Franchise Conference honoring Remedy and Westaff franchisees and their staff.

“We recognized nearly 100 individuals representing franchisees all over the country,” said Steve Mills, Franchise Division President.

EmployBridge is recognized by Staffing Industry Analysts as America’s largest industrial staffing firm. The company puts more than 400,000 temporary associates to work annually in 48 states through a network of over 400 offices. Included in their brand portfolio are two franchise brands: Westaff and Remedy Intelligent Staffing.

“Our Annual Franchise Conference is always a great time to hear stories of creative solutions, dogged determination and the unending commitment to helping good people find great jobs,” said Mills. “Our most prestigious award recognized our Franchisee of the Year, Jay and Stephanie Pichard. Their story involved many business successes but also a human one: they went way beyond the call of duty to help a client whose plant facility was decimated by Hurricane Michael and help many of their associates get back to work.

“The Top Franchise Region award went to Brian and Diane Rose. Team Rose has 12 offices from Florida to Kansas and had another remarkable year,” said Mills. “Not ones to rest on their laurels, they are expanding their services yet again in 2019.

Franchise owner Larry Caldarera won the prestigious Leadership Award. In the year in which Larry celebrated 60 years of Westaff in New Orleans, this honor was a fitting accolade. The Staff Performance Manager winner is David Cahill, whose all-around exceptional performance is noted daily at his Remedy franchise in Virginia Beach. His results-driven work ethic is also evident outside the office: he has coached his four sons’ teams to multiple wrestling and football titles. Brandyn Jacob was recognized as Top Producer for the Franchise Division. It’s the third year in the last five that Brandyn has earned this prestigious award. As a founding member of the Top Gun training program, Brandyn is also setting new standards in mentoring, coaching and generally giving back.

EmployBridge CEO Tom Bickes summed up by saying, “These awards show that our franchisees are some of the very best staffing professionals in the nation. But don’t take our word for it. These awards are based on survey results from clients and temporary associates alike. We couldn’t be prouder of our franchise partners.” Both Remedy and Westaff have been honored for superior service as 2019 winners of ClearlyRated’s Best of Staffing® Client and Talent Awards – a prestigious distinction earned by less than 2 percent of all staffing firms in the U.S. and Canada.

New Franchisees Bring Personal Touch To Oasis Senior Advisors

Bonita Springs-based company continues fast-paced growth

BONITA SPRINGS, Fla. — Oasis Senior Advisors continues to expand its senior housing placement network thanks to extraordinary people from across the country. Four new franchisees including a former Disney employee, a dedicated family man, a health care industry veteran, and a man who has witnessed firsthand what the right place means to aging family members have recently joined the Bonita Springs-based company.

“Our continued expansion speaks to the strength of our model, which is based on compassionate, personalized service at no cost to seniors and their families,” Oasis Senior Advisors CEO Tim Evankovich said. “We take great care to select franchisees ready to dedicate themselves fully to helping people navigate a difficult maze of housing options.”

Years ago, new Clearwater franchisee Jason Davidson watched as his grandparents grew to need more and more care as they aged. He saw how the senior living community where they lived played a significant role in preserving their dignity and quality of life. That memory stuck with him and prompted a career change after 20 years in the financial services industry.

“When I found out about Oasis Senior Advisors, I jumped at the chance to become an invaluable and trusted resource to families right here in my community during their time of need,” Davidson said.

Ben Meyer learned the importance of family and always having someone by your side as he grew up on a small farm in Iowa. Now married with two kids, he’s embraced his new home in greater Pittsburgh and is excited about becoming a cornerstone for seniors and their families as the Oasis Senior Advisor serving the South Hills and surrounding areas in Pennsylvania.

“I have a strong passion for assisting people through a process and providing guidance to give them peace of mind and reduce the stress of life changes,” Meyer said.

Annette Ahtes lived up and down the East Coast before moving to Florida to be near her son, daughter-in-law and two grandsons. The new Brandon-area franchisee spent many years in health care as a medical supply distributor and as the owner of a health care products company that catered to seniors.

“Talking with them made me realize what priceless gems they are in our society, and so often they are not treated as such,” Ahtes said. “Oasis helps me help the families and these wonderful people, making sure they find the support, care and lifestyle they so truly deserve.”

Steven Moses learned customer service from some of the most renowned practitioners at Walt Disney World Resort. Now, he’s applying that commitment to serving people every step of the way as the Orlando-area Oasis Senior Advisor.

“At Disney, I worked my way up into corporate convention management, but I missed the personal touch of putting that smile on the guests’ faces firsthand,” Moses said. “I came to Oasis to further my passion and help make Orlando a place I’m proud to call home.”

Oasis Senior Advisors weigh options, taking each factor of the family’s and individual’s needs into account, including level of care, independence and budget. They provide support from the initial inquiry to move-in day and beyond.

The franchisor, founded in 2014, is on GrowFL’s Companies to Watch list for its rousing success at startup and its potential for further development. For more information about Oasis Senior Advisors, franchise opportunities, or to connect with an advisor, visit oasissenioradvisors.com.
