SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — Assisted Living Locators, a leading nationwide senior care placement service, is expanding its franchise network by offering four distinct ownership models, to accommodate a variety of entrepreneurial aspirations and lifestyles. These options range from hands-on management to semi-absentee ownership, providing opportunities for professionals to make an impact in the senior care industry.

The Multi-Business Mogul model is ideal for entrepreneurs managing multiple senior-related businesses. Kevin Smith, who operates a homecare business, a senior moving company, and oversees four Assisted Living Locators territories across Rhode IslandMassachusetts, and Connecticut, embodies this model. “Owning four territories has enabled me to integrate services across my businesses, providing a seamless experience for clients,” said Smith. “With dedicated managers handling daily operations, I can focus on strategic growth and efficiency across all my ventures.”

The Semi-Absentee Owner model appeals to those balancing business with personal life, managing their franchise remotely. “From my home in the South of France, I can lead my business with the confidence that my two full-time employees, who are motivated by growth incentives, are managing everything on the ground,” said Sarah Ordover of Los Angeles, CA. “I’ve been able to grow my business while enjoying a flexible lifestyle.”

The Expert Manager model is ideal for those with strong management skills, particularly veterans. Dustin Baker, former franchisee of East Valley, AZ, a past combat medic, exemplifies this model by leading a team focused on quality service. “The transition to franchise leadership was seamless due to Assisted Living Locators’ team-centered culture. My commitment to training and empowering my team ensures we consistently deliver top-notch service,” said Baker.

The Sole Entrepreneur model is perfect for hands-on entrepreneurs who thrive in dynamic environments. Allison Green of Chicagoland West, IL, personifies this model by quickly adapting to market changes to ensure business continuity and growth. “As a sole entrepreneur, I’ve developed a unique formula for success,” said Green. “Mentoring others on their entrepreneurial journeys has been one of the most rewarding aspects of my role.”

Paul Davis Restoration Continues Its Support of the American Red Cross Disaster Relief Efforts with $1,000,000 Donation

2024-12-01T22:31:14-05:00December 1st, 2024|Tags: , , |

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — The American Red Cross recognizes Paul Davis Restoration, a nationwide network of nearly 350 franchises, headquartered in Jacksonville, FL, for its pledge of $500,000 to the Annual Disaster Giving Program (ADGP), in addition to their pledge of $500,000 on January 1st, 2024. This announcement comes on the heels of Hurricane Helene and Hurricane Milton, two of the worst disaster events in history.

By making a proactive donation to Red Cross Disaster Relief, Paul Davis Restoration helps ensure the organization is prepared to meet the needs of people affected by these and other disasters big and small across the U.S.

ADGP members, along with their employees and customers, pledge financial and in-kind donations in advance of disasters to power the Red Cross with strong infrastructure, trained volunteers, innovative technology, and critical resources necessary to provide relief and support when needed.

Anne McKeough, Chief Development Officer at the American Red Cross said, “We’re extremely grateful for Paul Davis Restoration’s donations, which ensure that we can continue to build our capacity and resources ahead of time, keep up with the pace of frequent disasters and assist people in their darkest hours.”

In addition to the monetary contribution, Paul Davis Restoration team members supported the American Red Cross through over 250 volunteer hours, including the Red Cross Disaster Action Team, installing smoke alarms through Sound The Alarm, certifying team members in CPR, and hosting blood drives.

During the Sound the Alarm event held around the country last spring, more than 250 homes without alarms were provided with smoke detectors which were installed by both the fire department and local Paul Davis Restoration Team Members.

Throughout the year, as the Red Cross experienced nationwide shortages of blood donations, Paul Davis Restoration responded in commitment to their alignment with the American Red Cross Mission by hosting 22 blood drives, collecting 515 units of blood that could potentially save over 1,545 lives.

“We are thrilled to continue our support of the American Red Cross during one of the biggest times of need in this century,” said Rich Wilson, President, and CEO of Paul Davis Restoration. “We feel particularly aligned with the American Red Cross, and our initial donation of $500,000 in January of this year proved to all of us at Paul Davis Restoration that we have a very similar dedication to providing extraordinary care while serving people in their time of need, and as such are proud and excited to commit this now $1,000,000 to the American Red Cross.”
