Do Your Homework
Every successful franchisee begins with research. You’ll benefit most from exploring senior care as a category, getting to know your local market, and understanding how Always Best Care’s approach aligns with your goals. Studying franchise success rates gives useful benchmarks. A solid understanding of operational demands, financial commitments, and your personal motivations will help you know if this is the right move for you.
Get Comfortable with the Numbers
A thriving franchise knows its business inside and out. Review key financial elements, such as initial investment, ongoing royalties, and working capital, all clearly outlined in the FDD. Confirm that you have sufficient funds to cover the early months. Having clarity on these details helps you build a sustainable and scalable business.
Lean into Proven Training and Support
One of franchising’s greatest advantages is the level of support you receive, especially with Always Best Care’s ABCUniversity training program and ongoing coaching from National Directors. Successful franchisees dive in, absorb every resource, and then adapt the learning to their community’s needs.
Build and Empower a Talented Team
Your caregivers and office staff define the client experience and the reputation of your business. The top franchisees invest in recruitment, thoroughly onboard staff, and treat training as an ongoing process. Retention follows when employees feel valued and supported.
Follow the Model While Innovating on a Local Level
Always Best Care has refined a system that works, covering operations, marketing, compliance, and client care. Sticking closely to that formula is crucial for maintaining a brand’s reputation and performance. At the same time, successful owners discover ways to innovate within that system, striking a balance between consistency and local responsiveness.
Commit to Ongoing Growth
Markets evolve, and so do best practices. Franchisees who stay active—attending national conferences, regional meetings, monitoring industry trends, and participating in Always Best Care led updates—are most likely to keep growing. This learning mindset leads to better service, higher margins, and stronger client relationships.
Network with Your Peers
You’re never alone in franchising. Always Best Care encourages franchisees to collaborate, share insights, and mentor one another. A strong network of peers often leads to better problem-solving and faster growth, especially during periods of rapid change or scale-up.
Why These Traits Matter
Focus and discipline are essential, but so is empathy. Senior care is a service business, and your emotional investment in clients’ lives can make or break your reputation. Successful franchisees apply business fundamentals, yes, but they also connect deeply with clients, families, and communities.
They know that growth doesn’t just come from sales—it comes from running day-to-day operations with integrity, care, and consistency. And they understand that a thriving business is built by putting clients first, caring for your team, and following a reliable system.
