Local Veteran to Open First Surveillance Secure In Houston

2021-06-11T10:35:28-04:00June 11th, 2021|Tags: , , |

Rapidly-growing commercial security franchise concept set to open first Texas location.

HOUSTON — Surveillance Secure – a security integrator that consults, designs, installs and supports a full range of enterprise grade technology for commercial clients – is opening the brand’s first location in Houston. The new location has been awarded to local Houston Marine Corps veteran and entrepreneur, Brandon Foss, and is set to open in July.

Foss’s professional background in security will serve as a great asset to Surveillance Secure and the community of Houston. He worked with Blackwater for eight years and owns franchise locations with Signal 88, a mobile patrol franchise which supplies clients with security guard services. Foss’s decision to open his own Surveillance Secure location came from the steady customer demand for electronic security from his Signal 88 customers. He is excited about the enterprise-grade technology that Surveillance Secure products and services can offer to his existing customers and grateful that Surveillance Secure provides owners like him with the opportunity and support structure to grow with his commercial customers nationwide. With the support of the security integrator brand, Foss is looking forward to hitting the ground running in Houston this summer for a successful start.

“I am eager to hit the ground running and serve the Houston community, I see the growth opportunity here and it’s very promising,” stated Foss. “Surveillance Secure’s advancement in technology and digital analytics are just several of the reasons why this brand is so unique and continues to see such sprawling success.”

Founded in 2006 and franchising since 2019, Surveillance Secure has been a proven security industry leader, serving commercial clients in eight states, including New Jersey, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Maryland, Virginia, Colorado, Arizona, Texas and Washington D.C. The rapidly expanding franchise services the electronic security needs of commercial, retail, education and government clients for security cameras, access control systems, alarm & video monitoring solutions, and video image analytic software. The brand provides the latest surveillance and access control technology and ongoing support for all installation projects and cameras that meet the requirements and timeline of end users.

“We are excited to expand into Texas with such an experienced and focused franchisee,” stated Kim Hartman, CEO and Founder of Surveillance Secure. “Brandon’s previous security and Marine Corps background will help support the community of Houston and significantly benefit Surveillance Secure.”

The Initial Franchise Fee for a single Franchise (the “Initial Franchise Fee”) ranges from $55,000 to $75,000, and the overall investment range to open a Surveillance Secure location is from $116,000 to $173,700. Additionally, the brand offers franchisees large, exclusive territories, allowing them to control entire urban metro areas.

Comfort Keepers® Commemorates 3rd Annual Day of Joy Holiday; Releases National Survey That Shows Americans Finding More Joy Seeing Family in Our Post-quarantine World

2021-06-09T10:46:32-04:00June 9th, 2021|Tags: , , , , |

Survey Finds Seniors Embracing Texting, Social Media, Emojis and GIFs to Better Bond with the Grandkids.

IRVINE, Calif. — After a year like no other, Americans have gained a new perspective when it comes to attaining joy in their lives. Comfort Keepers®, a market-leading provider of uplifting home care for seniors and adults who need assistance, will celebrate its third annual National Day of Joy on June 30, 2021. Comfort Keepers founded this national holiday, which occurs each year on the last Wednesday of June, to emphasize the importance of individuals finding joy, no matter their age, to boost their overall physical, mental and emotional health.

“Even before the pandemic, Comfort Keepers believed in the importance of joy and delivering hope, love and purpose to people we care for regardless of their age,” said Carl McManus, Chief Executive Officer, Comfort Keepers, North America. “Even in the most difficult of times this past year, our network of compassionate, resourceful caregivers found ways to uplift, boost and inspire their clients – a practice that they will continue to embrace even when the pandemic comes to an end. For many of us, this past year became a valuable learning experience where we see the benefits of slowing down, connecting with family and appreciating the little things that bring us the most happiness.”

National 2021 ‘State of Joy’ Survey
Each year, as part of the National Day of Joy, Comfort Keepers conducts a survey that polls Americans on their perspectives about joy, including specific activities that bring them happiness and evolving attitudes about joy in light of current events. The survey was conducted by OnePoll on behalf of Comfort Keepers from April 29-May 1 and polled 2,000 Americans; 1,000 of those surveyed were 30+ years of age with children and at least one living parent, and 1,000 were people aged 65+. Highlights from the survey are outlined below:

Americans Find Joy in People – Not Places, Events or Things
Last year’s survey saw Americans missing dining out, travel and personal freedom the most. They looked at the pandemic as a circumstance that prevented them from doing everyday activities. This year as the country continues to open up, respondents find the most joy in connecting with family and loved ones over restaurants, traveling and even wearing masks less often.

  • Seeing family members (42%) and spending time with them (38%) brings Americans more joy than traveling (37%), seeing close friends (32%) or not wearing a mask as often (28%).
  • Seniors over the age of 65 prioritized seeing family the most (55%), compared to last year, when dining at a restaurant topped their post-pandemic to-do list.
  • People plan to see their loved ones as soon as they’re vaccinated (45%), before attending a sporting event (20%) and frequenting the beach or pool (27%).
  • At the start of the pandemic, most Americans found the most joy in talking to family and friends via phone/video calls (24%) over watching a comforting TV show/movie (19%) and spending time outside (13%). In fact, 62% of Americans agree that talking with family members on the phone or video chat was the highlight of their weeks in quarantine.
  • When asked to name the first thing they can think of that brings them joy, many respondents named children, grandchildren or spouses.

Seniors have Mastered the Art of The Text and Use Social Media to Bond with the Grandkids
Connecting with loved ones virtually became a fact of life for so many people during the pandemic- an activity that seniors mastered to keep up with the grandkids.

  • One in three people over the age of 65 now prefer texting to phone calls.
  • One in three seniors learned how to use social media and brushed up on their pop culture as a way to bond with the younger members of their family.
  • Those over 65 even have favorite emojis — the heart (43%) and the happy face (43%) are getting the most use. Other popular emojis for those over 65 included the beer emoji and assorted animals.
  • One in 10 have even surpassed emoji use and now send GIFs to stay in touch with their grandchildren.
  • Nearly one in five (17%) were introduced to Netflix by their kids or grandkids.

Pandemic Brought a New Perspective on Living Joyfully
The pandemic will have a long-term impact on respondents’ day-to-day lives with people seeing the benefits of slowing down and taking the time to appreciate all they have.

  • Four in 10 say they learned to “stop and smell the roses” and “savor every moment”.
  • 43% will now try not to “sweat the small stuff”.
  • Two in five (42%) say the prospect of seeing family members again as the pandemic gradually recedes brings them the most joy.
  • 80% of survey respondents believe the world needs more joy.

“Sometimes we get so caught up in our fast-moving lives that it almost takes a global pandemic to make people really slow down and appreciate the little things that bring us the most joy,” said Alexis Abramson, PhD, Lifestyle Gerontologist, author and spokesperson for Comfort Keepers. “The National Day of Joy reminds us to find happiness in everyday moments and that embracing joy can improve mood, ease anxiety and help with our overall well-being. Our survey uncovered that connecting with family, spouses and friends brings us the greatest amount of joy over anything else, so let’s not forget to reach out to our loved ones and remind them how much they mean to us.”

The holiday falls in line with the overall Comfort Keepers’ mission – to find ways to deliver joy, positivity and elevate the human spirit in their clients’ lives every day at a time when 80% of survey respondents believe the world needs more joy. Now that we are emerging from the global pandemic, the holiday reminds people to appreciate the simple things in life that bring us joy and happiness to help get through even the most difficult of times.

The National Day of Joy is being celebrated in more than 100 locations nationwide where Comfort Keepers has a presence and will include both virtual and local celebrations and various social media extensions. To participate in the National Day of Joy Challenge, share three pictures of something or someone that brings joy on social media and nominate three people to take the challenge using #NationalDayofJoy.

POMPANO BEACH, Fla. — Adam Povlitz, CEO & President, Anago Cleaning Systems, has been accepted into the Forbes Business Council, the foremost growth and networking organization for successful business owners and leaders worldwide.

Adam was vetted and selected by a review committee based on the depth and diversity of his experience. Criteria for acceptance include a track record of successfully impacting business growth metrics, as well as personal and professional achievements and honors.

“I am honored and excited to join this amazing group of nationwide business leaders as we contribute to this nation’s growing number of business owners and entrepreneurs,” said Adam. “The value of the Forbes Council community is among the very best and I am proud to bring my experience in the commercial cleaning franchise industry to such an elite group of business professionals.”

Anago Cleaning Systems is a pioneer of the franchise system for both master and unit franchises, which allows successful mid-career professionals to operate their own exclusive regional franchises, while allowing small businesses to invest in their success. Both levels simply focus on running their business while Anago Cleaning Systems provides assistance, guidance, and critical tools to grow.

The recent global pandemic significantly changed the commercial cleaning landscape.

Additionally, Anago has seen a nearly 300 percent increase in unit franchise sales in April 2021 when compared to the same month in 2020.

For the Love of Pets and Cars: Pet Supplies Plus & Ziebart Launch #CoPilotPets Campaign

2021-06-07T12:11:19-04:00June 7th, 2021|Tags: , , , |

Social Media Contest Spotlights Pets’ Amusing Reactions to Going on a Summer Car Ride.

DETROIT — Finding a fun way to promote pet safety and car protection for summer road trip season, pet retail franchise Pet Supplies Plus has teamed up with global car care provider Ziebart to launch #CoPilotPets. The campaign will feature a video contest on Instagram spotlighting the interesting reactions pets can have to the simple question: “Wanna go for a ride?”

For the video contest, which runs June 7 through June 20, pet parents are asked to snap a quick video of their pets’ adorable, humorous or lackadaisical reactions to the idea of going on a car ride. To enter, they can post their video to Instagram using the hashtag #Copilotpets. For a chance to win, participants must make sure to follow both Pet Supplies Plus and Ziebart, and tag them in their posts. The winner, which will be drawn randomly, will be announced on June 22, 2021.

The prize pack includes a free Inner-Guard PLUS interior detailing service from Ziebart valued at approximately $250, along with a gift basket of travel pet products and a $100 gift card from Pet Supplies Plus.

“Road trips have gained popularity over the last year, and this collaboration with Ziebart is a fun and timely way to highlight how to keep pets safe and happy in vehicles, as well as protect against the damage they innocently can cause to cars,” said Chris Rowland, CEO of Pet Supplies Plus. “Pets bring us so much joy and laughter, which is especially needed after this past year. We can’t wait to see the entertaining videos our neighbors submit.”

As part of the campaign, experts from both companies created an educational article offering helpful tips for traveling with pets, including:

Summer Pet Travel Tips:

  • Ahead of a longer trip, take your pet on shorter jaunts to gauge how they handle the car. Then take them on more frequent short rides to get them used to it.
  • Bring along their favorite toys or blanket for the ride, as familiar smells and textures from home will help pets relax.
  • Pack collapsible bowls and water bottles designed for pets, as well as special travel storage containers for food and water.
  • Consider a pet seat belt tether, as some states require pet owners to keep their animal safely restrained in vehicles.
  • Make sure your pet is groomed and their nails are trimmed before you go to cut down on fur particles and scratching damage.
  • UV rays and heat can be harmful, especially on long car rides. Window tint can protect from dangerous UV rays and greatly reduces heat throughout the vehicle.
  • Our pet co-pilots often surprise us with anything from car sickness to christening our vehicle as their new bathroom. Consider fabric protection for your car interior to keep it safe from pet stains. In addition, be prepared with an airtight trash bag, paper towel and a pack of disinfectant wipes to tide you over before you can get to your nearest professional detailer.

About Ziebart
Founded in 1959, Ziebart provides premium automotive appearance and protection services to extend the life of your vehicle. Clean, disinfect, enhance, and protect with the highest quality products and services, exceptional workmanship, and knowledgeable staff.

BrightStar Care Named 2021 Enterprise Champion for Quality Award for Ninth Consecutive Year

2021-06-03T13:14:03-04:00June 3rd, 2021|Tags: , , , , |

World’s Premier Home Care Franchise Receives Prestigious Recognition from The Joint Commission.

GURNEE, Ill. — BrightStar Care, a national private duty home care and medical staffing franchise with over 340 locally owned and operated locations nationwide, was awarded The Joint Commission’s 2021 Enterprise Champion for Quality Award, reinforcing the brand’s devotion to the highest standards of quality and safety in in-home care.

BrightStar Care is the only organization to achieve the title nine years in a row, with more than 95 percent of its franchisees accredited by The Joint Commission, the nation’s oldest and largest standards-setting and accrediting body in health care. Additionally, BrightStar Care is one of only two franchisors to receive this title since the award’s inception in 2013.

Receiving the Gold Seal of Approval® from The Joint Commission means that health care organizations have completed a comprehensive on-site review and follow the policies and procedures established by their organization. To achieve accreditation, organizations must incorporate Joint Commission standards and requirements into their policies, procedures and training materials, as well as conduct consistent mock evaluations. Joint Commission accreditation helps organizations improve safety procedures, which became even more important amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

“Since its inception, it has been BrightStar Care’s utmost objective to deliver the gold standard of high-quality in-home care for our patients to stay comfortable and safe in their homes and we are thrilled that The Joint Commission recognizes our efforts by awarding us with its Enterprise Champion for Quality Award for the ninth time in a row,” said Shelly Sun, founder and CEO of BrightStar Care. “This past year illustrated the growing importance of having access to a quality home care for home-bound patients and we will continue collaborating with our franchisees to ensure that our patients receive the high-quality care they deserve.”

“It’s a privilege to be awarded The Joint Commission’s Enterprise Champion for Quality Award for the ninth year in a row as we’re dedicated to continuously improving the quality of care BrightStar Care provides,” said Josie Rhoades, vice president of Clinical Operations at BrightStar Care. “We take great pride in providing a higher standard of care and making sure franchisees are equipped with the right training and resources to remain a recipient of the prestigious honor.”

“We are pleased to recognize BrightStar Care for the ninth consecutive year with the Enterprise Champion for Quality Award,” said Gary Bachrach, executive director, Home Care Accreditation Program, The Joint Commission. “We applaud the BrightStar Care organization for its commitment and effort to work closely with its franchisees to help improve quality and safety for the many individuals and families it serves within the home care setting across the country.”

Joint Commission accreditation is a known quality indicator within the industry as it is the same organization that accredits and certifies more than 22,000 health care organizations and programs in the United States. Joint Commission accreditation has allowed BrightStar Care to help its clients continue living safely in their homes and help prevent hospital re-admission.”

BrightStar Care provides the full continuum of home care services comprised of companionship, personal care, dementia care, transportation, medication assistance, skilled nursing and more to improve clients’ health and quality of life.

She is a caring and diligent nurse that has positively impacted the lives of our clients, as well as being a great member of our clinical team. We are very proud of her and the whole team takes joy in her receiving this award.”

These individuals are often experiencing multiple healthcare diagnoses and compounding factors, from medical needs to psychological conditions and financial instability.  

Ashlee also makes a special effort to integrate with needed community services for her patients, to regularly communicate with them and help them take an active role in their health as well as with family, case workers, group home and assisted living facility members who are involved in their care team.

“I’m so grateful to have chosen a career that allows me to impact so many lives in my community. I am honored to be recognized as Interim HealthCare’s Nurse of the Year,” said Ashlee Burrows. “Building one-on-one connections with my patients and helping to improve their health and lives is a true calling for me, and I am fortunate to have been called to such meaningful work.”
