Nationally Renowned Dementia and Alzheimer’s Expert Teepa Snow Partners with Leading In-Home Senior Care Providers to Deliver Valuable Caregiving Insights

TAMPA, Fla. — Senior Helpers^®, the nation’s premier provider of personalized in-home senior care, today announced it will host an educational session on caregiving techniques for dementia patients on January 9, 2019 at Kings Point Veterans Theater (1900 Club House Drive, Sun City Center, Florida). The seminar was created in conjunction with, and will be led by, nationally renowned dementia care expert Teepa Snow of Positive Approach, LLC, who co-created Senior Helpers’ award winning Senior Gems® Alzheimer’s and dementia care program.

The interactive session will explore the unique challenges associated with dementia and the proper caregiving practices that lead to positive interactions. In addition to Alzheimer’s and dementia-related awareness and knowledge, participants will learn effective communication techniques, strategies to connect with people in a meaningful way and methods of providing the proper resources at the right time. The event is free and open to the public. Attendees are also welcomed to enjoy a complimentary, light breakfast and warm lunch at the event.

“At Senior Helpers, we know firsthand how difficult a Dementia or Alzheimer’s diagnosis can be, which is why we’re passionately committed to educating our caregivers, office staff, families, healthcare professionals and the public on successful caregiving strategies that we know through our Senior Gems® Alzheimer’s and dementia care program. The seminar is one of the ways we give back to our community,” said Scott Fox, owner of the Senior Helpers of Hillsborough and Sun City Center locations. “Teepa is at the forefront of today’s conversation on Alzheimer’s and dementia care and is able to provide invaluable knowledge to seminar attendees. She will not only cover the many brain, behavioral, and functional changes associated with Alzheimer’s and dementia, but how to deliver exceptional care tailored to a patient’s specific needs.”

There are currently 5.8 million Americans living with Alzheimer’s, and that number is projected to reach 14 million by 2050. Many of these individuals will need specialized care to combat the disorder, and it’s more important now than ever to equip caregivers with the necessary tools and knowledge to adequately assist those with memory loss.

National retailer’s device repair service certified by CTIA under WISE™ Program

MILWAUKEE — Batteries Plus Bulbs, the nation’s only battery, light bulb and phone repair franchise, is now recognized by CTIA as the first certified device repair retailer under the Wireless Industry Service Excellence (WISE) program.

More than 730 Batteries Plus Bulbs locations across the country are working towards being certified.

“Batteries Plus Bulbs’ training facility as well as our proprietary methodology and tools have allowed us to provide phone repair services to over 3 million customers to date,” said Scott Williams, CEO of Batteries Plus Bulbs. “Our WISE certification will help us lead the market in repair quality and reach even more people who are looking for high-quality device repair services.”

Technicians at Batteries Plus Bulbs’ stores nationwide will participate in the WISE technician certification program.

The first certification of its kind, WISE-certified device repair technicians provide consumers with a predictable, high-quality repair experience.

Technicians who complete the WISE Technician Certification Program pass an extensive online training course and then advance to a hands-on skills test. The training curriculum provides a comprehensive background in smartphone repair including parts identification, repair tools, diagnostics, device disassembly and reassembly, and guidance for handling the lithium-ion batteries in today’s smartphones. Technicians must renew their certification annually to ensure they stay current on advances in the aftercare of wireless devices.

Batteries Plus Blubs has been a proud member of CTIA and has helped shape the business requirements for the WISE Certification Program by developing requirements for technicians and retailers as well as for industry-recognized standards for the aftercare of wireless devices.

New Franchisee Plans 3 Locations in Raleigh

ATLANTA — Total Row, Atlanta’s premier rowing-centric fitness boutique, announced today it has sold rights for three new locations to open in Raleigh, North Carolina to a single franchisee. The new rowing boutiques are slated to open starting Q1 2020. The Atlanta-based brand is also on the verge of opening several new locations in the Atlanta metro area.

Total Row, which launched its expansive franchise plan earlier this year, offers entrepreneurs a unique, scalable, and flexible business model designed with a fast profitability track. Total Row’s initial investment costs, franchise fees and royalties are significantly lower than similar fitness franchises with an initial threshold of entry of less than $100K. The company’s scalable business approach is structured to enable franchisees to launch, grow, and reach profitability thresholds in a shorter time frame.

“We are very excited and proud to have Total Row expand into Raleigh and couldn’t be happier with our new North Carolina franchisee,” said Elliott Smith, CEO, Total Row. “We have spent years researching, developing, and perfecting a successful business model built on a community-first approach. It is designed to easily overcome barriers-to-entry concerns and targets bottom line growth within a much shorter timeframe.”

Listed on the SBA Registry, Total Row’s franchising plan offers a reduced cost structure allowing entrepreneurs and prospective franchisees lower initial investment, and reduced ongoing financial operating costs, resulting in the ability to reach earlier positive cash flow.

“As a family-run business, we are there every step of the process to help new franchisees find the success we have experienced in our Atlanta location,” said Smith. “This includes implementing and teaching the rowing & fitness training programs, helping structure the back-of-the-house operations, site selecting, and professional marketing support. Total Row franchisees will have access to day-to-day operational support to ensure the success and integrity of all fitness and business practices.”

This is how to love your franchise even more

Alesia Visconti2019-12-02T09:05:28-05:00December 2nd, 2019|

You love the franchise you’ve chosen, and why not? It perfectly suits your personality, interests and style. But is it possible to bring even more passion to your working life? The answer is, “Yes!” Read on to find out how.

Your office, your way

Half the fun of having your own office (in addition to shutting the door when things get crazy) is decorating it! Adding your personal touches to the space – whether they’re pictures, plants or bric-a-brac – makes you smile when you get to work.

Spread the love

If you love your job, but loathe networking, there’s good news: talking about what you love is the easiest (and most effective) form of networking! You don’t have to wait for specific networking events to chat about your business; just bring it up when it seems appropriate, and let your excitement speak for itself.

Have a life outside work

It may seem counterintuitive, but having a life outside of work can allow you to look forward to your job even more. Doing the same thing over and over – even if you love it – can get repetitive after a while. It’s important to have separate interests, so that you can come back to your franchise fresh and refueled for the fun times ahead!
