Acti-Kare: Delivering Compassionate In-Home Care Across All Life Stages

Acti-Kare In-Home Care Services has been a trusted name in home care since its founding in 2007. With a strong footprint in the industry, Acti-Kare is dedicated to enhancing the quality of life for clients at every stage, from young children to seniors and those recovering from medical treatments.

The company provides a diverse range of services, including personal care, companion services, and specialized care programs for individuals with Alzheimer’s and dementia. Each offering is designed to promote comfort, independence, and dignity.

What distinguishes Acti-Kare from other providers is its holistic care model. In addition to senior care, Acti-Kare extends its services to in-home child care, recovery support, and even pet care, delivering personalized solutions that cater to the full spectrum of client needs.

Training

ActiKare In-Home Care Services provides several training programs to properly prepare its franchisees for operation. Here are the programs offered:

1. Initial Training Program
   ActiKare requires franchisees to complete a 10-hour web-based pre-training and post-training course, along with approximately 2–3 days of corporate classroom training conducted either at headquarters in Tampa, Florida, online, or at a mutually agreed location. Franchisees must successfully complete this training within 180 days of signing the Franchise Agreement or within 60 days of receiving any required state license.
2. Virtual One-on-One Online Training
   If a franchisee chooses not to attend on-site classroom training, ActiKare offers a virtual one-on-one online training alternative. This method requires participation and successful completion of the training through online sessions, and additional fees may apply.
3. Pre-Opening Dedicated Support
   Following the initial training, franchisees are assigned a dedicated support team to assist with two additional phases of pre-opening training. This phase covers tasks like rate setting, marketing campaign setup, caretaker recruitment, and back-office preparation, and it must be successfully completed before marketing to and accepting clients.
4. Ongoing Training and Conferences
   ActiKare offers continued training through scheduled phone support, electronic conferences, and occasional in-person conferences. Attendance at these conferences is optional, but they provide updates on system standards, operational techniques, and marketing strategies.

Territory Protection

ActiKare In-Home Care Services grants franchisees a protected territory that typically ranges between a population of 100,000 to 250,000 people. As long as the franchisee remains compliant with the Franchise Agreement, ActiKare will not operate or allow another ActiKare business within that designated area.

Franchisees must operate strictly within their assigned territory, and written permission is required to service clients outside of it. However, ActiKare retains several rights that limit full exclusivity.

The franchisor can advertise, solicit franchisees, and conduct national marketing efforts that may impact the franchisee's territory. Furthermore, while franchisees have protection within their assigned area, they do not automatically have rights to additional territories and must seek approval to purchase any expansion areas.
