Senior care clients now have access to 24/7 monitoring and clinician access.

ROSEVILLE, Calif. — Always Best Care Senior Services, one of the leading senior care franchise systems in the United States, announced today that it will deploy its own unique Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) solutions across its franchise system throughout 30 states. Always Best Care will now be able to provide clients with access to real-time monitoring of vital statistics and round-the-clock access to a certified clinician, helping patients avoid readmission or trips to the doctor’s office, clinic or emergency room.

“We are pleased to offer an innovative new service to Always Best Care clients as we partner with Anelto, a leading provider of cutting-edge remote patient monitoring and personal safety technologies and services,” said Jake Brown, President and CEO of Always Best Care. “We continue to look for opportunities to provide such technologies that can be utilized to benefit our clients as well as our franchisees, allowing them to more easily connect to share critical healthcare data with the medical community.”

With the launch of RPM telehealth capabilities, Always Best Care can now provide a new level of clinical oversight as patients are discharged into home care environments. The RPM system will magnify the transitional care program afforded by Always Best Care, which encompasses a broad range of services and environments designed to promote the safe and timely passage of patients between levels of health care and across care settings. In addition to home care, Always Best Care can now offer clinical services such as real-time monitoring of vital statistics, fall alert/fall detect services, medication management, and two-way communication between client, clinician and physician.

Always Best Care’s RPM solution consistently monitors a patient’s vital statistics, such as blood pressure, heart rate, temperature, oxygen levels and more, and delivers them to healthcare providers in real-time through an innovative RPM Cloud Platform. A 24/7 clinical call center monitors seniors’ vital signs and proactively intervenes to keep them healthy, helping to turn episodic healthcare into preventative healthcare.

“Anelto is pleased to partner with Always Best Care to provide the absolute best care to their clients. Through our innovative RPM solutions, Anelto helps provide a comfort level to Always Best Care’s clients that they have access to a clinician anytime they need it,” said Mark Denissen, president, and CEO, Anelto. “It provides peace of mind that improves their quality of life.”

WOWorks Restaurant Brands Finalizes 12 Co-Branded Franchise Agreements and Openings in 10 States in 2021

2021-12-03T12:58:11-05:00December 3rd, 2021|Tags: , , , , |

Better-For-You, Fast-Casual Restaurant Brands’ Experience Growth of its Co-Branding Restaurant Concepts in Traditional Franchise Spaces, Grocery Stores and other Non-Traditional Verticals.

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — The WOWorks family of restaurant brands, Saladworks, Frutta Bowls, Garbanzo Mediterranean Fresh and The Simple Greek, experienced growth of its co-branded restaurant concepts in 2021 with six locations opening and six additional franchise agreements signed across ten states by the end of the year.

“We are seeing an accelerated growth in co-branded WOWorks restaurants because our healthy-halo brands meet growing menu and flavor demands, and have the flexibility in size and operation to open alongside current restaurants and inside many non-traditional spaces,” said Eric Lavinder, Chief Development Officer for WOWorks. “By sharing a front and back-end, co-branded restaurants can build-out more efficiently to open quicker, have lower operating costs, and cover more dayparts to attract more guests and generate sales.”

In December, a Saladworks and Frutta Bowls co-branded restaurant will open in West Bloomfield, MI, a first for both brands in the state. Another co-branded location will open in Middletown, DE, where an existing Saladworks restaurant will add Frutta Bowls. And, for the first time, a Frutta Bowls restaurant coming to Hermitage, PA, will add on Saladworks to become a co-branded restaurant.

Several store-within-a-store co-branded restaurants are also part of this growth, such as Saladworks and Frutta Bowls co-branded restaurants opening in grocery stores in and around the Philadelphia area. In addition, an existing store-within-a-store Saladworks restaurant in a ShopRite store in Staten Island, NY, is also adding Frutta Bowls to create a co-branded restaurant. A current Philadelphia-based Fresh Grocer already has a co-branded Saladworks and Frutta Bowls restaurant as well.

On top of the co-branded openings in 2021, WOWorks signed additional co-branded restaurant agreements this year, including locations in Reno, NV, and San Juan Capistrano, CA; both are slated to open in the spring. An existing Saladworks restaurant in Morgantown, WV also signed an agreement to add on Frutta Bowls in 2022. Other Saladworks and Frutta Bowls co-branded restaurant agreements include a location in Norfolk, VA, and a three-location signing in Draper, UT, which will open one co-branded restaurant in 2022 and the other two at a later date.

“The recession-resilient nature we’ve seen within the last year from the home services sector has led to increased investment interest in franchises that specialize in services ranging from painting to plumbing and everything in between, and excellence in this space is what Neighborly’s 40-year legacy is built on,” said Brad Stevenson, Chief Development Officer of Neighborly. “Today’s homeowners are relying more than ever on professionals for maintenance and enhancements of their homes. Given the large population of suburban, single-family homes in the New York metro counties where we’ve identified development opportunities, Neighborly is eager to partner with aspiring business owners looking to deliver Neighborly’s essential services from across our roster of brands to these communities.”

The following Neighborly brands are actively seeking both multi-unit and single-unit prospective owners across all of the available New York metro territories:

Across the 150 territories being targeted with this growth initiative, four of the New York metro area’s counties — Suffolk, Westchester and Rockland, New York, as well as Bergen, New Jersey — stand out as they encompass about 40 of these available territories.

“As we continue pursuing our vision to Own The Home™ through Neighborly’s family of home service brands, our franchise owners can expect more and more cross-marketing opportunities from one Neighborly brand to the next,” said Stevenson. “In the New York metro market which is ripe with homeowners in need of the professional services we are known for, we look forward to teaming up with driven franchise owners with whom we can work to spread the positive impact of Neighborly’s values-driven business practices.”

Neighborly’s franchising brand initial investments range from $70,800 to $652,980 depending on the specific Neighborly brand, with incentive programs available for veterans.* Interested prospects can find out more information here.

With the support of her team, as well as the clinical and operational excellence of the more than 300 Interim HealthCare offices who represent the First in Home Care® brand, Jennifer Sheets has worked relentlessly to uphold the highest standards of safety and care within the home healthcare industry.

With her leadership, the company spearheaded the development of detailed guidance and resources to provide care for COVID-19 patients through Interim HealthCare’s HomeLife Enrichment® standard of care, which creates a customized care plan to support a patient’s full mind, body, spirit and family.

Jennifer has also been integral to the continued success of building awareness of and advocacy for the home healthcare industry throughout 2020 and 2021. Advocating at both the federal and state levels for “essential” worker status of America’s 3.2 million home healthcare workers, Jennifer helped ensure these professionals were part of the country’s response to and continued recovery from the pandemic. With her team, she also established the industry’s only website for sourcing personal protective equipment (PPE) when resources were incredibly difficult to procure, distributing an estimated three million units of critical PPE items to more than 1,000 agencies across the U.S. and five other countries.

“I am humbled to be recognized as an Advocate of the Year by the CEO World Awards,” said Jennifer Sheets, CEO and president of Interim HealthCare. “Home healthcare is an indispensable part of our healthcare system and I’m grateful for the opportunity to continue elevating both the industry’s unique value and Interim HealthCare’s role within it.”
