Upgrade
Avendelle Assisted Living is a boutique senior care franchise offering high-quality assisted living homes in residential neighborhoods. The company was founded in 2005 in Raleigh, North Carolina, and it is headquartered in Wake Forest, North Carolina. Avendelle began franchising in 2013.
The franchise provides small-scale assisted living homes that typically serve five to eight residents. These homes operate with an intimate resident-to-caregiver ratio, allowing for more personalized, attentive support. Each location is designed to feel like a private residence rather than a large institutional facility.
Avendelle Assisted Living differentiates itself through its home-style settings, individualized care plans, and focus on dignity and independence for every resident. The smaller home environment allows families to choose a more personal, comfortable alternative to traditional senior living facilities.

Number of units
Avendelle Assisted Living had 21 total units in 2023, of which 11 were franchised-owned and 10 company-owned.
Avendelle Assisted Living provides a comprehensive training program to ensure that franchisees operate according to brand standards. The training is structured in various stages and includes both mandatory and optional components to support franchisee performance and operational compliance.
Initial Training Program: This is mandatory and must be completed within 30 days of the agreement's effective date. It includes 8 hours of classroom instruction and 40 hours of on-the-job training at the franchisee's location, corporate headquarters, or online. Up to three individuals can attend for free, but additional participants or retakes are subject to fees.
Onboarding of New Personnel: New Responsible Owners or Franchise Managers must complete the initial training before assuming their roles. This ensures continuity and adherence to operational standards.
Remedial Training: If franchisees are not operating according to franchise standards, they may be required to attend remedial training focused on addressing specific deficiencies.
Refresher Courses: Periodic system-wide refresher training may be offered or mandated for owners, managers, or staff to keep up with procedural or policy changes.
Optional Requested Training: Franchisees can request additional support or training, which will be provided at a mutually convenient time and is subject to the current training fees.
Territory Protection
Avendelle Assisted Living grants its franchisees a designated territory, which typically consists of a 1.5-mile radius around the approved business location. Within this Territory, the franchisor agrees not to establish or authorize another Avendelle Assisted Living franchise.
This provides franchisees a level of territorial protection from internal competition during the term of their agreement. However, the franchisor retains extensive rights outside the granted Territory and, in certain circumstances such as metropolitan or non-traditional locations, may choose not to grant a protected territory at all.
Additionally, Avendelle and its affiliates may market, solicit, or operate in ways that impact a franchisee's business, such as through alternative distribution channels or broader marketing efforts.
