Leading Provider of In-Home Care Strengthens Presence in Midwest.

BALTIMORE — Senior Helpers^®, the nation’s premier provider of in-home senior care, today announced it has acquired Miller Home Care LLC, a trusted Milwaukee-based provider of high-quality and affordable in-home care for over a decade.

Previously a franchise location, the new corporate store in Milwaukee will be a center of excellence where Senior Helpers may incubate new programs, conduct staff trainings and develop new service offerings to be rolled out to the company’s nationwide network, which currently includes more than 300 locally owned and operated franchises across the U.S. Senior Helpers is owned by Advocate Aurora Enterprises, a subsidiary of Advocate Aurora Health, which has dual headquarters in Milwaukee and suburban Chicago.

“On the heels of Senior Helpers’ acquisition by Advocate Aurora Enterprises in April, this strategic investment expands our corporate store footprint in the Greater Milwaukee area and joins our existing corporate store in Des Plaines, Illinois,” said Peter Ross, Senior Helpers CEO. “This critical move allows us to collectively work together in an established Advocate Aurora Heath market to further enable our growth strategy, while creating a model for us to collectively coordinate care across the full continuum.”

“We applaud this strategic investment by our partner Senior Helpers to develop and help maximize our future synergies here in Milwaukee and throughout the Midwest,” said Scott Powder, Advocate Aurora Enterprises president. “Advocate Aurora is dedicated to meeting people where they are in every stage of their health and wellness journey, and this move both bolsters our ability to work together and enables new opportunities for aging seniors in Milwaukee to thrive safely in the comfort of their homes.”

With the number of Americans ages 65 and older on course to more than double from 46 million today to over 98 million by 2060¹, more seniors are seeking to maintain their independence within the comfort of their own homes, making the timing of this transaction strategically right for Senior Helpers.

Miller Home Care LLC was formerly owned by James (Jamie) Miller along with his wife, Felicia. Jamie Miller is also known among the Milwaukee community for owning and operating the Bankruptcy Law Firm of Miller & Miller. The new location represents Senior Helpers’ fifth corporate owned store.

Leading window treatment franchise to bring excellent customer experience to local residents.

ROCKWALL, Texas — Gotcha Covered, a leader in custom window treatment consultation in the U.S. and Canada, is adding to its number of centers in Texas by opening a new location in Rockwall.

The new center will be owned and operated by Mark Rook. This location will provide end-to-end consultative services for soft and hard window treatments to the residents of the areas of Rockwall, Rowlett, Garland, Royse City, Heath and Fate while offering a variety of blinds, draperies and much more.

“Gotcha Covered has an established presence in Texas, but we are happy to be adding another center for the residents in Rockwall,” said Paul Linenberg, president of Gotcha Covered. “Mark is dedicated to representing the brand and providing quality services to the community, which is our number one goal as a franchise. We always want to give the customer an excellent end-to-end experience that they will never forget, and we are positive Mark will do just that.”

Rook has been in the industry for over six years. Starting out as a window treatment installer, he has held a variety of positions including working in commercial project management, graphic design and large format printing.

Rook discovered Gotcha Covered when a work ticket came through for the company while he was working in graphic design.

“When I saw the ticket come through, the name really popped off the page,” said Rook. “Once I began searching for a franchise to purchase, everything came full circle. I know quite a bit about the industry, and Gotcha Covered has a good system in place that can be utilized to build my business without starting from scratch. While the name made me remember the business, it was the franchisee support and business model that made me commit to the franchise.”

Rook said his overall vision for the company is to use the platform to help support the community, not only by offering window coverings but also by offering a helping hand when needed.

Adding 27 new franchise locations in 2020, Gotcha Covered currently has over 120 total franchises across the U.S. and Canada. The franchise has been operating under the Gotcha Covered name since 2009.

Oxi Fresh Carpet Cleaning Ranked a Top Part-Time Franchise by Entrepreneur Magazine

Tatyana Stemkovski2021-09-03T11:04:17-04:00September 3rd, 2021|Tags: advanced franchisee support system, green carpet cleaning, innovative marketing strategies, Oxi Fresh Carpet Cleaning|

LAKEWOOD, Colo. — Oxi Fresh Carpet Cleaning recently ranked 30^th in Entrepreneur’s first-ever list of the Top Part-Time Franchises, published exclusively on Entrepreneur.com.

“Not every business has to consume your life,” says Entrepreneur editor-in-chief Jason Feifer. “To prove that point, we’re excited to showcase the top franchises that fit neatly into a flexible lifestyle. If you’re looking for the thrill and benefits of business ownership but are also juggling other obligations in your life, this list is a perfect place to start.”

To qualify for this ranking, companies had to indicate that an involved owner-operator can successfully run their business in less than 40 hours a week. Qualifying companies were then ranked based on how they scored when run through Entrepreneur’s Franchise 500 formula, which evaluates franchise opportunities based on 150-plus data points in the areas of costs and fees, size and growth, franchisee support, brand strength, and financial strength and stability.

“We’re incredibly proud to have ranked,” said Mr. Jonathan Barnett, Oxi Fresh’s CEO and founder. “2020 was a challenging year, of course, but Oxi Fresh managed to not merely survive but thrive during that time. We think this ranking reflects our focus and commitment to both our franchisees and our customers.”

Oxi Fresh experienced impressive growth during 2020, seeing an increase in demand for their carpet cleaning services and opening 40+ units. With the brand nearing 450 locations, Oxi Fresh is eager to eclipse the coveted 500 unit mark.

“Oxi Fresh continues to demonstrate its ability to grow through innovation, strong franchise locations, and a committed team,” stated Barnett. “We are eager to continue our mission to provide communities with access to high quality, eco-friendly carpet cleaning services.”

Founded by Barnett in 2006, Oxi Fresh has quickly become one of the nation’s leading eco-friendly carpet cleaning franchise concepts. The Oxi Fresh system is an environmentally-friendly, oxygenated carpet cleaning procedure that needs just around two gallons of water per home versus the 40-60 gallons of water required by traditional steam cleaners. This means their innovative cleaning procedure allows carpets to dry in about one hour on average, which is far less than the 12-24 hour dry time frequently required by traditional steam cleaners.

Today, Oxi Fresh has over 440 units throughout the United States and Canada and has opened more than 150 locations in the last three years alone. In addition to its rapid growth, Oxi Fresh has helped save tens of millions of gallons of water through the use of its proprietary cleaning process. They have also donated generously to Water.org, a nonprofit that helps families get access to safe water and sanitation solutions.

Franchisees Nationwide To Encourage People To Seek Help, Advice.

PHOENIX — Assisted Living Locators, a nationwide senior placement and referral service, announced today it is offering free dementia care consultations to support World Alzheimer’s Month, an international campaign that recognizes the impact of dementia and how to act to support those affected. This year’s campaign theme, ‘Know Dementia, Know Alzheimer’s,’ is all about the power of knowledge, encouraging people to find out more about the disease and seek help, advice, and support for it.

Throughout September, Assisted Living Locators’ 140 franchise offices across the U.S. are offering free dementia care consultations, participating in Walk to End Alzheimer’s fundraising events and engaging social media wearing purple to show solidarity for those affected.

“With our system-wide dementia care certification, we are in a unique position to help families across the country,” said Angela Olea, Assisted Living Locators CEO RN. “Our dementia care training enables us to provide much-needed support to families, educating them about the disease and what facilities are best suited for their loved ones.”

Olea noted that 2021 is such a crucial year for raising awareness about a group who are most susceptible to social isolation during the ongoing pandemic. “People with dementia at home may find it more difficult to cope and need extra support during this time,” she explained. “Our senior care advisors are providing a variety of in-home care resources to seniors and their families to meet these challenges. And when home care is not adequate, we help families find at no cost, independent living, assisted living, and memory care options.”

Olea says the first step to learning about dementia is having a conversation. “The ‘Know Dementia, Know Alzheimer’s’ initiative is an opportunity to raise awareness and promote a greater understanding of dementia,” she added. “We offer care and support to families so they can better prepare, plan and adapt to a diagnosis.”
