in-home care

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. It truly saved my business.”

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.”

As Assisted Living Locators continues to expand, the coaching program remains a cornerstone of its franchise development strategy. With a focus on supporting franchisees through every step of their journey, the company is committed to fostering a thriving network of successful, high-performing franchisees across the nation.
