**NEW**   Recruiting Initiatives:   The national Headquarters team will facilitate hiring and recruitment efforts. Additionally, the corporate team has established a national awards program to recognize exceptional caregivers. Each quarter, franchise owners have the opportunity to nominate caregivers in their organization who exceed expectations and provide next-level care for their clients. The winner receives a $1,000 cash prize and is recognized on a national level.

The corporate team has also established a scholarship program for nominated caregivers to receive funding towards obtaining their CNA license. This licensure is often a next step in many caregivers' careers and allows them to pursue their goals.

Why was this established? These initiatives were designed to combat the current hiring climate and separate ameriCARE from the competition in local markets. Studies have shown that caregivers often feel underrecognized and underappreciated by their employers. At ameriCARE, we understand that caregivers are the foundation of our operations and have worked to establish a culture of appreciation and recognition.

Royalty: 6%
Ad: $300/mo
Average Number of Employees: 10+
Passive Ownership: No
Semi-Passive Ownership: Yes, on a case-by-case basis for highly qualified individuals. For example, we currently have medical doctors who are transitioning from their practices and are increasingly involved in establishing their agencies. Individuals in this position should be prepared to hire an administrative team to handle daily operations of their agency. The Headquarters team will assist in training their admin team.
Home Based: No
B2B: In some regards; a significant component of establishing a home care agency is community partners and relationships. Franchisees should expect to spend much of their time networking with local organizations such as hospice companies, skilled nursing facilities, and hospitals to establish themselves in their markets. These community partners provide many opportunities for our franchisees to co-market, share an audience, and refer clients to one another. The Headquarters team provides training in how to network with these community partners to strengthen their business. However, the end-user of our model is ultimately the clients and their families, but these B2B relationships are an important part of succeeding in the local market.

Where can I see AmeriCare's FDD (Franchise Disclosure Document)?

Buying a Franchise Guide: What is a Franchise Disclosure Document?

When evaluating a franchise opportunity, reading and understanding the current version of their FDD is a necessity. Considering the benefits of franchising, such as established brand recognition and support from the franchisor, it's important to also take into account franchise fees and franchising royalty fees. Since most franchisors are privately owned companies, the current versions of their FDDs are typically not available unless requested directly from them.
