Interim HealthCare Inc. Launches HomeLife Enrichment® for Heart Failure

Helping to mitigate the nation’s leading chronic condition, Interim HealthCare unveils empowering, proprietary approach to holistic care for those with heart failure.

SUNRISE, Fla. — Interim HealthCare Inc., the nation’s leading franchise network of home care, senior care, home health and hospice and healthcare staffing services, is launching the latest offering in its HomeLife Enrichment® series focused on the chronic condition of heart failure. Interim HealthCare’s program supports the patient holistically for their mind, body, spirit and family to ensure an optimal care experience.

As an extension of the doctor’s office, this proprietary standard of care empowers the newly diagnosed person living with heart failure and their loved ones with valuable information about the impact diet, exercise, rest and medication play in the care process. Additionally, this approach stresses the importance of measuring weight and reporting increases daily and recognizing the signs of depression, especially when the diagnosis of heart failure is new.

Currently, more than six million people in the U.S. have heart failure and one in five people will develop it in their lifetime. Heart failure is the leading cause of death for men and women in the U.S. Often misunderstood, heart failure does not actually mean the heart has failed; it means that the heart cannot pump as it should and therefore is failing to meet the body’s needs for oxygen and blood circulation.

“Home healthcare professionals are uniquely suited to provide personal and comprehensive care to help support the millions of Americans living with heart failure,” said Jennifer Sheets, Interim HealthCare Inc. president and CEO. “By working side-by-side with the individual, their loved ones and their full care teams, Interim HealthCare creates a holistic approach to support their mind, body, sprit and family. This approach ultimately helps them on a path toward self-care to manage their condition and live a healthier, fulfilling life.”

A key element of Interim HealthCare’s HomeLife Enrichment for Heart Failure program is its new resource, “Caring for a Loved one with Heart Failure” (caregiver guide). The caregiver guide educates family members about heart failure and provides a deeper understanding of the disease and the care protocols to manage it and move their loved ones towards successful self-care, which is the ultimate goal.

The caregiver guide equips families with the tools and insights needed to care for the whole individual, not just one facet of their disease management. This approach provides a holistic view of heart failure and how interconnected each aspect is with big-picture outcomes. Through exploration of the care process, families will understand what their loved one needs and how best to care for them in ways that improve mental, emotional and physical health:

Mind: Caring for the mind involves insight and understanding about heart failure which leads to producing new habits that positively impact outcomes. As the heart’s function is vital to the health of the whole body, it can create other serious health problems if it is not brought under control.
Body: Perhaps the hardest change a person with heart failure must make is to their diet. Caring for the body involves a combination of diet, medication, exercise and rest, and is a crucial part of managing heart failure and minimizing other serious and associated health risks. With heart failure, comes issues with weight gain caused by fluid buildup, it is critical that those living with heart failure are monitoring their weight daily and reporting weight gains to their doctor.
Spirit: After receiving a diagnosis of heart failure, your loved one may be feeling a mix of emotions, from fear and anxiety to apathy, sadness and depression. When family members recognize these signs and show support for their loved ones, it lifts their heart, calms their emotions and inspires joy amidst their health challenges. This is the purpose of the spirit component of the HomeLife Enrichment care approach.
Family: The HomeLife Enrichment approach also helps the family by educating, guiding and supporting those caring for a loved one with heart failure. This component fosters greater understanding, improves overall outcomes and encourages self-care.

Interim HealthCare’s proprietary training programs enable home health clinicians and paraprofessionals to perform at the top of their license and provide valuable education and assistance. With more than 55 years’ experience caring for people, and as the First in Home Care®, Interim HealthCare’s multi-disciplinary care teams support clients living with heart failure in familiar surroundings – at home or in assisted living communities.

This unique home-based focus provides a more intimate and unedited view into an individual’s daily life. It also creates an effective education partnership with the individual’s primary care provider or doctor in the hospital. Often, the direction provided by a physician isn’t enough for the true impact of a heart failure diagnosis to sink in. By extending that education into a “real-life” setting, home health clinicians and paraprofessionals get a total view of the patient to better inform a tailored care plan. This difference results in care plans that account for specific support needs, personal motivations and obstacles, and adherence tendencies for improved health management and better quality of life.

Interim HealthCare specialty programs fall under its HomeLife Enrichment standard of care offerings. Currently, these span heart failure, diabetes, COVID-19, cognitive care with a focus on dementia, and other chronic care conditions with more planned in the next 18 months.

Z PLUMBERZ Offers Advice Ahead of Brown Friday, Busiest Plumbing Day of the Year

Fast-growing plumbing franchise shares tips to avoid holiday disasters.

ANN ARBOR, Mich. — Many people know the Friday after Thanksgiving as “Black Friday,” the most popular shopping day of the year – but it’s also the busiest day of the year for plumbers. In the plumbing industry, it’s known as “Brown Friday,” thanks to an increased use of kitchens and bathrooms during food preparations and large gatherings, this day brings a significant increase in plumbing, sewage and drain-related issues to homes and businesses.

Since the holiday season can be harmful to drainage and septic systems – especially backed up sinks and malfunctioning garbage disposals – Z PLUMBERZ, a full-service and fast-growing residential and commercial plumbing franchise, has several tips for home and business owners to help prevent plumbing disasters.

Dispose of all food items in the trash can, especially items like fruit skin and pulp, potato and onion peelings, eggshells, poultry bones and skin, and pumpkin seeds, which can clog drains and damage garbage disposals.
Fatty oils and grease should be placed into containers and thrown away with garbage. While it is a common myth that fats can be poured down the drain if followed by hot water, the truth is the fats will eventually cool down and clog pipes.
Remind your family – particularly kids – that only human waste and toilet paper should be flushed down the toilet. Flushing food or wet wipes can cause significant sewage issues including overflow or clogs, since these items do not dissolve properly.
If you’re having guests stay overnight, consider spreading out showers and laundry loads to be cautious of overusing your water heater and drains.

“With the flurry of cooking and entertaining happening at homes and businesses close to and on Brown Friday, people often forget about these common plumbing mistakes that could end up causing them a major headache – so we want to make sure our customers and communities know what to do,” said Matt O’Rourke, President of Z PLUMBERZ. “We hope that providing these tips will help the holidays and your pipes flow smoothly. But to make sure we’re ready, we increase staffing around Thanksgiving and our team of experts is available 24/7 in case of holiday plumbing emergencies.”

The youth sport/fitness concept continues its nationwide expansion.

DENVER — Ninja Nation, the leading franchise provider of world-class, state-of-the-art obstacle course arenas, is continuing to expand its national presence, awarding a ten-unit deal in the great state of Texas. The announcement comes as the brand comes off an incredibly successful opening in Huntersville, North Carolina, and a three-unit franchise award in the Nashville, TN market. With the addition of their upcoming ten locations in Texas, Ninja Nation has quintupled its unit count to 15 and continues to expand the sport of Ninja and its presence as the largest Ninja concept in the country.

With five locations open across Colorado, Dallas-Fort Worth, and North Carolina, the brand is eager to expand to more cities in Texas. Ninja Nation is excited to offer its world-class obstacle courses, providing community members the opportunity to play, train, and compete in a state-of-the-art arena while developing skills, strength, and confidence. With the Texas Ninja community already being one of the strongest in the country, the brand expects to expand quickly, aiming to open its first location in Houston in the first half of 2022.

“We’re thrilled to partner with another amazing franchisee in the Texas market who shares our excitement for the sport of Ninja as well as our One Million Heroes mission,” said Wayne Cavanaugh, Founder of Ninja Nation. “With the popularity of the sport of Ninja sweeping the nation and the positive impact it’s having on kids’ lives, the demand for Ninja Nation has grown exponentially, adding to the momentum behind our rapid expansion.”

As the hit TV show, American Ninja Warrior and American Ninja Warrior Junior, their kids show, continue to pull in record ratings, more people want to play, train and compete in the sport of Ninja. With the demand for alternative youth sports and fitness experience-based businesses booming, Ninja Nation is accelerating its growth. The brand expects to award several additional franchise territories in the coming months and has the potential to sell out of franchise territories quickly.

The youth fitness concept aims to create over one million heroes through their ongoing mission to provide a fun, safe and engaging space where everyone can find that “hero” within themselves. To accomplish this, Ninja Nation has created an environment of positivity, encouragement, family fun, and building confidence through its development classes, open gym sessions, birthday parties, field trips, special events, competitions, and its mobile ninja obstacle course.

Local Entrepreneur to Bring New Locations to Columbus & Dayton.

COLUMBUS, Ohio — Hammer & Nails, a men’s grooming shop that provides haircuts, shaves and hand & foot care, in a welcoming, relaxed atmosphere, is pleased to announce it has signed a multi-unit franchise agreement in Ohio with local entrepreneur Ryan Darner. Darner plans to open a Hammer & Nails location in Centerville, a suburb of Dayton, and Powell, a suburb of Columbus, Ohio with a goal to open the first location by Q3 2022, and the second to follow.

Darner, an Ohio native, has over 15 years of experience working in finance, investments, and real estate. When a Hammer & Nails location opened near his home, Darner decided to try it out. He was so impressed with the experience and VIP service that he knew he wanted to be part of expanding the franchise and saw the value in the exclusive membership model.

“Everyone looks to find the perfect place for a good haircut on a consistent basis, and once you find the right barber you are loyal to them,” said Darner. “I know a lot of guys that have the same mindset, so I wanted to bring an elevated and relaxing experience to men in the area that goes beyond just a haircut, a place where they can get a sports pedicure or straight razor shave while watching a football game on TV with a cocktail or beer in hand. Hammer & Nails provides guys with a great haircut and a great experience in a relaxing atmosphere. I am very excited to help bring Hammer & Nails to the Dayton and Columbus communities.”

The Hammer & Nails experience coming to Dayton and Columbus is unlike any other. The atmosphere is low-lit, with soft ambient lighting throughout the shop. Exterior windows are tinted for privacy and the interior is furnished with dark wood and steel, creating a relaxing vibe. Members are greeted by name, escorted to a luxurious oversized Bison leather chair, and handed a menu with complimentary beverages ranging from an ice-cold water to McAllen’s whiskey, all included in the cost of the service. Shops have Direct TV, and every guest has a dedicated personal oversized device, remote and noise-cancelling BOSE headphones for entertainment during the visit.

“Ohio has been a huge success for Hammer & Nails and we are excited to have Ryan join our team,” said Jereme Shelton, Vice President of Franchise Development, Hammer & Nails. “As we continue to expand in the state, we knew Ryan would be the perfect fit, and we are excited to help him bring the Hammer & Nails brand to the Dayton and Columbus areas.”

As the only niche male grooming franchise available, Hammer & Nails has a first-to-market advantage in the ever-growing $21B male grooming industry. For more information about the Hammer & Nails franchise opportunity, visit https://hammerandnailsfranchise.com/.

About Hammer & Nails

Hammer & Nails was founded in 2013 with the vision to provide hand and foot care, manicures and pedicures, haircuts and shaves to every type of male. After launching its franchise opportunity in 2015, the brand has built an unrivaled experience that’s disrupting the men’s grooming industry and revolutionizing the way guys get their groom on, quickly becoming the premier destination for men’s grooming experiences in a relaxed environment. Hammer & Nails has awarded licenses for more than 200 shops and is working to have 150 locations open and operating by 2025.

National Automotive Styling franchise shows excellence in industry by making publication’s Top 400 list.

BOCA RATON, Fla. — Tint World® Automotive Styling Centers™, a leading auto accessory and window tinting franchise, has been named to the prestigious Franchise Times Top 400 list, solidifying its claim as the number one auto styling center in the world. With a ranking of 363, the company saw a sales growth of 20.9% and a unit growth of 16.4%.

“Making the Franchise Times Top 400 list showcases our dedication and commitment to our customers as well as our team’s willingness to go above and beyond,” said Charles J. Bonfiglio, president and CEO of Tint World®. “Our footprint in the industry continues to grow internationally because of our determination to offer the best automotive styling experience in the world. That is one of the primary reasons we remain competitive and a leader in the automotive styling industry.”

Formerly known as the Top 200+, Franchise Times renamed their annual ranking of the 400 largest U.S.-based franchise systems by systemwide sales to better encompass the biggest brands in franchising. However, despite their list’s increase in growth, the rigorous approach to research remains the same, said Franchise Times Editor-in-Chief Laura Michaels.

The Franchise Times’ Top 400 project is the result of a five-month research and reporting effort that leads to the most credible and objective franchise ranking available. Their collection of systemwide sales data also provides useful insight into the franchise industry’s performance during the COVID-19 pandemic.

“While many businesses struggled to keep their doors open throughout the pandemic, the Tint World® team made the necessary adjustments and had the resources in place to power through and keep our stores open,” Bonfiglio said. “None of this would be possible without communication with leaders at every level, from our support staff at headquarters to the individual franchisees. We made sure everyone had the tools to continue thriving despite the pandemic, and this placement is an acknowledgment of that.”

Tint World® Automotive Styling Centers™ offer sales and installation of auto accessories, mobile electronics, audio-video equipment, security systems, custom wheels and tire packages, window tinting, vehicle wraps, paint protection films, detailing services, nano ceramic coatings, maintenance and repair services, and more.
