Training 

Caring Senior Service provides a comprehensive training program to ensure its franchisees are well-prepared to operate their home care businesses effectively. The franchise offers several structured training components:

  1. Initial Training Program: Caring Senior Service delivers a 52-hour training program for the franchisee and their designated manager at the franchisor’s corporate headquarters in San Antonio, Texas. This training must be completed before the opening of the franchise and covers essential operational topics, including client intake, caregiver hiring, scheduling, and billing.
  2. Field Training: After the initial training, the franchisor may provide up to three days of onsite support at the franchisee’s location around the time of opening. This practical assistance helps reinforce lessons learned and ensures a smooth business launch.
  3. Training for Additional Personnel: The franchisee may send up to two additional individuals to the initial training program, though they are responsible for the travel and lodging costs. This helps in building a capable and informed team from the start.
  4. Ongoing Training and Support: Caring Senior Service provides access to ongoing training, including webinars, updated manuals, and periodic training opportunities to keep franchisees informed about operational updates, compliance, and industry best practices.

Territory Protection

Caring Senior Service provides franchisees with a protected territory defined by ZIP codes. Within this area, no other franchisee can operate. This protection applies as long as the franchisee remains in compliance with the agreement.

The franchisor may still offer services through national accounts or other non-franchise methods. Territory boundaries can also be adjusted under certain conditions. Overall, the protection limits internal competition within the assigned area.
