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 Island, Massachusetts, 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.”

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — Assisted Living Locators, a leading senior care placement service, is revolutionizing the franchise experience through its dynamic coaching program, providing unparalleled support to franchisees nationwide. The program has driven significant improvements in both seasoned and new franchisees.

The company’s coaching team, led by Assisted Living Locators Director of Training Bethany Harley, offers tailored guidance and expert growth strategies to franchisees at all stages of their journey. This comprehensive support system enables franchisees to overcome challenges, optimize operations, and achieve their business goals.

“Our coaching staff empowers franchisees with the tools and knowledge they need to succeed,” said Harley. “We’ve seen firsthand how personalized coaching can transform a struggling business into a thriving one.”

The impact of the coaching program is evident. Seasoned franchisees have reported a remarkable increase in sales, attributing much of their success to the insights and strategies provided by their coaches.

Tory Barcus, the Assisted Living Locators Colorado Springs franchisee, experienced a dramatic turnaround thanks to frequent coaching sessions. “I was on life support with my business,” Barcus admitted. “But with the guidance and support from Bethany and the coaching team, I’ve become a high-performing franchisee.

New franchisees are also reaping the benefits of the coaching program, making their first senior placements faster than ever before. Tonja Jackson, the Assisted Living Locators franchisee in Baton Rouge, holds the record for the fastest placement—just two weeks after launching her business.

“The coaching staff gave me the confidence and direction I needed to hit the ground running,” said Jackson. “I was able to connect with families and make my first placement in record time. It’s a testament to the power of the coaching and the Assisted Living Locators system.”

The company aims to expand its network of care advisors to meet the surging demand for senior living solutions.

The assisted living industry is experiencing unprecedented growth. According to the National Center for Assisted Living, approximately 1 million Americans live in assisted living facilities. The U.S. Census Bureau projects the 65-and-older population will nearly double from 52 million in 2018 to 95 million by 2060.

“National Assisted Living Week reminds us of the critical role assisted living communities play in caring for our aging population,” said Angela Olea, RN, Founder and Brand President of Assisted Living Locators. “As the demand for these services grows, so does the need for compassionate, knowledgeable advisors to guide seniors and their families through the complex process of finding the right care solution.”

Assisted Living Locators offers a unique franchise opportunity for entrepreneurs looking to enter the booming senior care industry. Franchisees receive comprehensive training, ongoing support, and access to an extensive network of senior care providers nationwide to help them succeed.

“Our franchisees are more than business owners; they’re vital community resources,” Olea added. “They combine their local knowledge with our national network to provide personalized, expert guidance to families during a often stressful time.”

The company’s commitment to diversity, inclusion, and equity has recently been recognized, with Assisted Living Locators being named to Entrepreneur’s 2024 Top Franchises in Diversity, Inclusion & Equity list.

“As a nurse, I’ve always prioritized patient care. Now, I apply that same ethic to guiding seniors and their families through critical care decisions,” Blackwell said. “The company’s commitment to transparency and ongoing support for families aligns perfectly with my values.”

Jasilika Davidson, a veteran and owner of Assisted Living Locators West Columbus, appreciates the company’s ethical approach.

“The discipline I learned in the military translates well to maintaining the high ethical standards Assisted Living Locators demands,” Davidson said. “We’re not just placing seniors; we’re ensuring their long-term well-being through regular follow-ups and adjustments as needs change.”

Mike McClernon, a former corporate executive now running Assisted Living Locators Long Island, values the company’s ethical business model.

“In my corporate career, I learned the importance of integrity. Assisted Living Locators takes this to another level with its commitment to transparency and ethical practices,” McClernon said.

Olea emphasizes that all franchisees undergo dementia care certification, setting a new industry standard for advisor qualifications.

“We’re raising the bar for the entire industry,” Olea said. “By combining ethical practices with diverse professional expertise, we’re creating a new paradigm in senior care referrals.”
