Tatyana Stemkovski2020-06-12T11:39:37-04:00June 12th, 2020|Tags: homecare services, hospice and healthcare staffing services, Interim HealthCare, senior care|

In honor of Alzheimer’s and Brain Health Awareness Month, Interim HealthCare is committed to helping family caregivers navigate the complexities of dementia patient needs.

SUNRISE, Fla. — Interim HealthCare Inc., the nation’s leading franchise network of home care, senior care, home health and hospice and healthcare staffing services, today launched a free Dementia Caregiver’s Guide to provide valuable insight, resources and advice to those caring for a loved one living with dementia or Alzheimer’s disease.

The prevalence of dementia and Alzheimer’s disease is rapidly growing in the United States. Currently, there are an estimated 5.6 million people living with age-based dementias and nearly 16 million people caring for them in the U.S. Meanwhile, the number of people with Alzheimer’s disease alone is expected to nearly triple by 2050, as the overall population continues to age.

“We hope that our Dementia Caregiver’s Guide will offer support for the countless family members who tirelessly give their empathy, time and resources to care for loved ones facing memory care diseases,” said Jennifer Sheets, Interim HealthCare Inc. president and CEO. “During Alzheimer’s and Brain Health Awareness Month and throughout the year, Interim HealthCare is committed to supporting the well-being of family members and our patients, while delivering comprehensive and compassionate care for cognitive conditions in the home.”

The Interim HealthCare Dementia Caregiver’s Guide was developed in partnership with Teepa Snow, one of the world’s leading educators on dementia and the founder of the Positive Approach® to Care (PAC™). This resource provides information for recognizing the signs and stages of dementia, and how to provide positive care to a loved one following the proven Teepa Snow PAC methodology. The guide was designed to help family caregivers:

Gain the specialized knowledge needed to care for loved ones with dementia.
Understand how dementia can affect themselves and their family member.
Learn practical steps to navigate the progressing stages of dementia, and how to manage their role as a caregiver.

In addition to providing this new family caregiving resource, Interim HealthCare offers a specialized patient-centered Cognitive Care Program with a focus on dementia. Utilizing a science-backed approach to dementia care, Interim HealthCare’s clinicians are specifically trained to better understand how a patient’s brain is changing at each stage of disease progression and how to respond with safe, comfortable and meaningful home care.

This specialized Cognitive Care program is also a part of the Interim HealthCare’s HomeLife Enrichment® signature standard of care, that encompasses the mind, body, spirit and family, to improve the overall health and wellbeing of its patients and those around them.

“I applaud Interim HealthCare’s commitment to meeting the specific needs of those living with dementia by using the Positive Approach to Care,” said Teepa Snow, founder of the PAC and a dementia care expert. “The company’s new guide will provide family caregivers with dementia knowledge, resources and tips to support their loved one, and to care for themselves as the stress of caregiving can really take a toll.”

Comfort Keepers Celebrates 2nd Annual National Day Of Joy; Releases Survey That Finds 9 In 10 Americans Believe The World Needs More Joy

Tatyana Stemkovski2020-06-10T12:19:11-04:00June 10th, 2020|Tags: Comfort Keepers, health care, in-home care network for seniors, senior services|

Leading In-Home Care Provider Places Priority on Finding Joy and Sharing with Others, Reinforcing Relevance in Light of Global Pandemic.

IRVINE, Calif. — Comfort Keepers®, a market-leading provider of uplifting home care for seniors and adults who need assistance, today announced that it will celebrate its second annual National Day of Joy on June 24, 2020. The National Day of Joy, which takes place every year on the last Wednesday in June, was established by Comfort Keepers in 2019 to help inspire and encourage people to experience joy and share it with others; an action that has become more meaningful in the current COVID-19 environment.

“The global health crisis we’re experiencing has, in many cases, had a profoundly negative impact on many people who are living in isolation, away from family and friends and unable to participate in their usual activities,” Carl McManus, Chief Executive Officer, Comfort Keepers, North America. “While Comfort Keepers established the National Day of Joy in 2019 to help people find happiness in everyday moments regardless of what may be happening in the world, its existence has been particularly meaningful this year. Taking time to identify and acknowledge the positive elements of our daily lives that bring joy is an important way to improve our physical and emotional health as well as overall well-being.”

Finding the silver lining in any situation can have a positive mental health impact. Laughter, in particular, has been shown to mitigate the negative effects of stress, improve mood, curb anxiety and depression and in some cases, help relieve pain.ⁱ

Prior to the COVID-19 crisis, Americans were already on the quest to find joy, peace and balance in their busy lives, in an effort to improve mental health. Simple, sometimes mundane activities have become increasingly more meaningful in today’s setting, as more people are spending a greater amount of time at home, away from the office, their commute or the grind of their everyday lives. In fact, according to a national survey, reading, taking walks and spending time at home with family– have risen to the top of the list of activities that bring the most joy that people want to continue post-COVID-19.

And while these ‘simple pleasures’ are bringing many people joy, the majority are participating in these activities alone. With social distancing mandated across most of the country, most older Americans have not been able to see their loved ones in person. A national survey found that more than half (57%) of all people aged 65+ have missed hugs from a loved one since being in quarantine. This has also been difficult for the “sandwich generation” – a group of people who are tasked with caring for their aging parents as well as their own younger children. This has made caregiving services, like Comfort Keepers, even more critical during this time. On the National Day of Joy — and everyday after that – the sandwich generation is comforted by the fact that even if they cannot visit or spend time with their loved ones, they are in good hands with a qualified Comfort Keeper caregiver.

National 2020 ‘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, evolving attitudes about joy in light of current events as well as overall opinions about the state of joy in the world. The survey was conducted from May 5-11 and polled 2,000 Americans; 1,000 of those surveyed were 30+ years of age with at least one living parent, and 1,000 were people aged 65+. Highlights from the survey are outlined below:

The World Needs More Joy

Ninety percent (90%) of people surveyed agree that “the world needs more joy.”
Eighty-five (85%) percent agree that finding joy is more important now more than ever.
Eight in ten agree that the world doesn’t seem to have as much joy as it used to.
Simple Activities Bring the Most Joy
Sixty-one percent (61%) responded that family dinners brought them the most joy. This was followed by:
- Time spent outside (60%)
- Watching a favorite TV or movie (58%)
- Receiving a hug from a friend or loved one (58%)
- Listening to favorite song (65%)

Joyful Activities Have Changed Since COVID-19

Many individuals are enjoying certain activities now that they did not have time to do before COVID-19, including:
- Spending time with family (33%)
- Reading (32%)
- Taking walks (28%
Almost three-quarters (72%) agree that technology has brought them a lot of joy during the COVID-19 pandemic.
And while most surveyed wish to spend time with their family and friends in person after COVID-19, 37% agree that they will continue to video-chat with loved ones after the quarantine is over.

“The current environment has changed the way most of us live, work, play and experience joy,” said McManus. “Many seniors – particularly those who live alone – have had to change their routines to ensure they are able to stay connected with friends and loved ones and get the practical, day-to-day help they need, like obtaining medications, shopping for groceries, cooking meals or housework. Finding happiness and joy in the evolving world we’re living in is particularly important for a person’s health and wellness.”

Comfort Keepers prides itself on approaching caregiving differently. Rather than focusing on what individuals may be losing by hiring a caregiver, Comfort Keepers aims to change this mindset by concentrating on the freedom, and the joyful moments and experiences clients are gaining through caregiver relationships.

The National Day of Joy is being celebrated in more than 100 locations 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, do something that makes you happy, and share your activity on social media using #DayofJoy.

TITLE Boxing Club Awards Franchise to Former Member amidst Pandemic

Tatyana Stemkovski2020-06-05T13:59:49-04:00June 5th, 2020|Tags: boutique fitness studio, boxing and kickboxing fitness classes, boxing-inspired fitness club, TITLE Boxing Club, Title Fights for Nurses, virtual fitness application, workout|

Former Member of the Boutique Boxing Fitness Concept Brings ‘Best Hour of the Day’ to Colorado Springs.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — TITLE Boxing Club, the nation’s leading boutique boxing fitness franchise, with more than 180 clubs open across the United States and classes that provide ‘the best hour of your day’, announced today it has signed a franchise agreement to expand the brand in Colorado.

Husband and wife team Faye Moussa and Sean Bordonaro will open their first TITLE Boxing Club in Colorado Springs. Moussa’s first experience with TITLE Boxing Club was back in 2012 when she was juggling a high-stress job at an investment bank, while also working towards her MBA at University of North Carolina’s Kenan-Flagler Business School. To relieve stress, she became a regular at her local TITLE Boxing Club in Raleigh. When the couple moved and briefly lived in Manhattan, TITLE Boxing Club never left Moussa’s mind.

In late 2019, Bordonaro accepted a job as a firefighter at Buckley Air Force Base, relocating the couple to Colorado. After the move Moussa searched for a nearby club and quickly realized there was no TITLE Boxing Club close enough to be part of her routine. She was still in a demanding job and starting researching the franchise opportunity. Then the coronavirus pandemic hit, changing everything. With jobs and careers no longer a guarantee, Moussa realized it was the right time to go into business for herself and put her MBA in Entrepreneurship to use, opening up the area’s first club.

“Working full time in finance, and in school to get my MBA, I had initially joined TITLE Boxing Club as a member in Raleigh as a stress reliever,” said Moussa. “I fell in love with it. It was my outlet to decompress from a stressful job. When we moved to Colorado, I knew I needed to get back to boxing. When there weren’t any clubs nearby, it dawned on me that it was the perfect time jump into entrepreneurship. I am so excited to join the TITLE Boxing Club family in this new capacity!”

Moussa and Bordonaro aren’t just starting their journey as entrepreneurs. The husband and wife team is also starting their family and are expecting their first child in December.

As part of the signed agreement, Moussa and Bordonaro anticipate opening their club in northeast Colorado Springs in the fall.

“It’s always a great day when our members become part of the TITLE Boxing Club franchise family, and we are thrilled to have Faye and Sean on board,” said Susan Boresow, president of TITLE Boxing Club. “In these trying times, many are looking to get away from corporate America or have experienced layoffs, and like Faye, they are looking to take control of their future and own their own business. We have gone virtual to allow prospective business owners to dive in to the fitness space.”

As Boresow notes, TITLE Boxing Club has shifted its franchise sales to best suit prospective franchise partners. While there’s been an emphasis on health and wellness and a high demand for franchise ownership, the franchise has offered several virtual Discovery Days and virtual training so new owners can open successfully when restrictions in their area begin to ease.

About TITLE Boxing Club^®

TITLE Boxing Club, a Franworth company, is a boutique fitness studio that specializes in boxing and kickboxing fitness classes. Based in Kansas City, the company has more than 180 clubs open and operating across the country and another 150 in development. The brand is currently ranked on Entrepreneur magazine’s prestigious Franchise 500 list and the Inc. 5000 list of American’s fastest-growing, privately-held companies. In addition, TITLE Boxing Club is No. 387 on Franchise Times Top 200 (Plus 300) list. To learn more about the fitness franchise opportunity, visit https://titleboxingclub.com/own-a-franchise/.

Alliance Franchise Brands LLC Helping Businesses Safely Reopen

Signage, Graphics and Print Communications Drive Back to Business Strategies.

PLYMOUTH, Mich. — As more in-person businesses across North America plan or begin to reopen, Alliance Franchise Brands LLC and its family of marketing, print, sign and graphics brands (Allegra Marketing Print Mail, Image360, KKP, Signs By Tomorrow, Signs Now, Insty-Prints and American Speedy Printing Centers) are at the forefront of guiding business owners to navigate their new normal with health and safety solutions and resources.

Independently owned and operated franchise locations are working directly with local businesses to outfit their physical space, prepare employees, and get ready for the return of customers and visitors with safety signs, social distancing graphics, sneeze guards and shields, outdoor promotional banners and more.

“Companies of all sizes are eager to get back to business and want to do it safely, being mindful of government regulations that may be federal and local,” said Alliance Franchise Brands CEO Mike Marcantonio.

“Our franchise members have always been strong partners in their business communities,” he continued. “Medical practices, retail stores, financial institutions, office buildings and restaurants are just a few of the business settings that need to reassure their customers and visitors with health and safety policies that are visible, primarily through signs and large graphics.”

Image360 franchise owner Jon Osborne, based in Mokena, Ill., concurs. “Businesses come to us because they may not know the most professional way to leverage visual communications as they reopen. For example, some well-intentioned DIY solutions, like using regular tape to hold down floor graphics, can result in peeling which creates a tripping hazard and attracts bacteria. That’s why we have packaged some materials, based on common business needs, and do custom packages, too. All can be professionally installed.”

Perry Clark, franchise owner of Allegra Marketing Print Mail in Winston-Salem, N.C, has used the time as an essential business to support clients throughout their mandated closures. “We did our best to go above and beyond to help keep our local business community running, like offering free banners and signs to local restaurants and producing PPE. Because of that consistency in a time of crisis, our clients know they can trust us and that we’ll continue to guide them as they reopen.”

About Alliance Franchise Brands

Alliance Franchise Brands LLC and its subsidiary, KK Printing Canada ULC, are the franchisors of more than 600 locations in North America operating the company’s brands: Allegra Marketing Print Mail, Image360, Signs Now, Signs By Tomorrow, KKP, Insty-Prints, American Speedy Printing Centers and RSVP.

During Alzheimer’s, Brain Awareness Month, Assisted Living Locators Encourages Families To Reassess Loved One’s Dementia Care Situation

Tatyana Stemkovski2020-06-02T10:07:35-04:00June 2nd, 2020|Tags: assisted living communities, Assisted Living Locators, franchisee sales training, in-home care, independent retirement options, memory care, senior care placement|

Company’s Certified Dementia Care Advisors Provide Free Assessment, Guidance During COVID-19.

PHOENIX — Every June, advocates, volunteers, health professionals, caregivers, and family members come together to raise awareness about Alzheimer’s and brain awareness. Supporters wear purple in solidarity for those with Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia on The Longest Day, June 20.

Assisted Living Locators, a leading nationwide senior placement and referral service, is encouraging families to use the month of June as a time to reassess their loved one’s dementia care situation. The company is the only senor placement service with dementia care system-certification that helps families find, at no cost, independent living, assisted living, and memory care options.

“Deciding where and when to place an aging loved one is far more complicated when they have some form of dementia, and especially during a global pandemic,” said Angela Olea, Assisted Living Locators CEO RN. “Several factors go into choosing a long-term care community for a dementia patient. Due to their decreased cognitive ability, they may also require additional assistance and consideration during COVID-19.

A needs assessment conducted by a knowledgeable professional is usually the first step in moving a loved one with dementia to senior living,” explained Olea. “Our assessments focus on developing a deeper understanding of a senior’s cognitive condition as it relates to their ability to complete activities of daily living (ADLs) with or without partial or total assistance.”

Olea added that Assisted Living Locators certified dementia care advisors provide an in-depth assessment of all the client’s needs, along with thoughtful analysis and recommendations for best-fit care options. Families can begin their assessment process with an easy-to-use online tool on Assisted Living Locators website, that is followed up with a virtual in-take interview by phone or video call.

“For those with loved ones battling Alzheimer’s or other forms of dementia at home during COVID-19, this may be an extremely challenging time,” said Olea. “While it may seem that group environments like assisted living facilities are not the right choice right now, for many, it’s still the best option. Considering the enhanced safety measures senior living communities are taking, moving into a senior community may make more sense than living alone and not getting adequate care.”

If you’re noticing changes in your loved one’s cognitive health and have questions about dementia care, speak to an Assisted Living Locators Senior Care Advisor at 877-266-7788 or visit www.assistedlivinglocators.com.

About Assisted Living Locators

Assisted Living Locators offers a no cost, nationwide senior care placement and referral service for in-home companion care, independent retirement options, assisted living, memory care, and skilled nursing facilities. The company has 140 franchisees in 36 states and the District of Columbia.

The program directly addresses a recent national survey, which said 82% of Americans are more concerned with cleaning tools and protocol in public spaces since the coronavirus, and 76% will hold businesses accountable for how they clean their public spaces. One of four workers surveyed said they would even leave their jobs if their employers didn’t make investments in cleanliness.

“The demand for our disinfecting services continues to increase across the country as America reopens and organizations put the health and safety of their people first,” said Gary Findley, CEO of Restoration 1. “That’s why our Keep It Clean program can customize our professional cleaning services to the individual needs of our customers and the spaces where they live and work. From hospitals and office parks to first responders’ vehicles and individual homes, we are addressing every situation for large and small gatherings.”

Restoration 1 team members are certified by the IICRC (Institute of Inspection Cleaning & Restoration Certification) and use only EPA-registered disinfectants to decontaminate and disinfect high touch points and other surfaces. In addition, all Restoration 1 cleanup technicians use the appropriate Personal Protection Equipment (PPE), up to and including fully-encapsulated and protective coveralls with full-face respirators.
