Always Best Care Senior Services Reports Franchise Expansion and Growth Throughout 2024
The year 2024 has proven to be a landmark for Always Best Care Senior Services, a prominent player in the senior care franchise sector across North America. Having witnessed an impressive surge in its franchise network, the company reported a total of 17 new franchise owners joining its ranks, a combination of both new ventures and acquisitions of existing territories. In addition to welcoming new members to its franchise family, Always Best Care expanded its reach by establishing a presence in 16 new territories—a strategic move that solidifies its foothold in various markets. This growth is underscored by the fact that seven existing franchise owners acquired an additional 12 territories, resulting in a staggering total of 28 new territories acquired this year.
"Our accomplishments over the past year are a testament to the ongoing dedication and hard work of our franchisees and team members who fully represent our core values at Always Best Care," expressed Jake Brown, President and CEO. He noted that achieving consecutive years of double-digit sales growth reflects not only the quality of the services offered but also the significant demand for franchise opportunities within the senior care market.
As America's senior population continues to expand, Always Best Care is committed to enhancing its services by investing in both its caregivers and technological advancements. This forward-thinking approach not only positions the company at the forefront of the senior care industry but also fosters growth into emerging markets in the future.
Significantly, multi-unit ownership is on the upswing, with seven franchisees committing to launch additional locations. Among these franchisees, Todd Herring opened three new territories in Thousand Oaks, California, while Joanne Pizzuto initiated three fresh territories in Concord, North Carolina. Carrie Bianco expanded her presence by adding two new territories in Torrance, California, and Phil Natsiopoulos ventured into two new territories in Tacoma, Washington. Meanwhile, Jennifer Mancuso is now serving a new territory in Birmingham, Alabama, and Darlene Wood has begun operations in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
The achievements of Always Best Care extend beyond mere numbers; in 2024, the franchise was honored on multiple prestigious industry lists. It progressed remarkably, climbing 23 spots higher on the Franchise Times Top 400 list from the previous year, and made it onto FranServe's 'FRAN-tastic' Brands List—recognizing its commitment to supporting franchise owners at every step of their business journey. Additionally, it earned a notable position, ranked No. 18 on Franchise Direct's Top 100 Franchises of 2024 List.
In an effort to continue its excellence, the franchise rolled out a new workshop focused on caregiver retention and recruitment, which adds significant value to its network. Also, a new franchise sales platform was adopted to refine franchise development initiatives, thus reaching a broader base of potential franchisees. These enhancements reflect the company's adaptability and competitive spirit, contributing to its enduring success in the senior care and franchising sectors.
