Increasing Franchise Support at Always Best Care
Always Best Care Senior Services is taking significant steps to enhance support for its franchise network by appointing Kelly Saunders as the Director of Learning & Education and Cheryl Price as the Director of Franchise Onboarding. This strategic move aims to provide comprehensive support to new franchise owners as they embark on their entrepreneurial journey, as well as to assist established franchisees in refining their operations and fostering business growth.
Connecting the Dots for Franchisee Success
The organization recognizes that the key to its success lies in the success of its franchisees. By intertwining the processes of onboarding, education, and ongoing development, Always Best Care is ensuring that all franchise owners—whether newcomers or veterans—are equipped with the necessary tools and knowledge to thrive in the competitive landscape of senior care services. The feedback gathered from franchisees underscored the importance of structured onboarding and continued education, prompting this proactive approach.
Cheryl Price will spearhead the onboarding process for new franchisees, guiding them through pivotal milestones from the moment their agreement is signed to the eventual launch of their business. She will focus on delivering timely resources and clear instructions, allowing new owners to transition into their roles with confidence and clarity. With over 13 years of experience in supporting franchisee onboarding and training in the senior care sector, Cheryl's insights will prove invaluable.
A Holistic Approach to Education
Meanwhile, Kelly Saunders will expand and enhance the existing training framework at Always Best Care, offering broader educational opportunities not only for new owners but also for established franchisees and their teams. Her role signifies a shift towards more accessible and practical learning resources that align with tangible business outcomes, including caregiver retention rates and client satisfaction levels.
With 25 years of experience in learning and development across reputable franchise organizations, Kelly emphasizes the importance of tailored training. She draws inspiration from her personal experiences in the senior care space, notably witnessing the positive impact of professional support on families during challenging times.
Framework for Success
Both Price and Saunders will report directly to Sheila Davis, the Chief Operating Officer of Always Best Care. This structural adjustment aims to tightly integrate onboarding and education with operational support to enhance franchisee experience and success. "Franchisee success is central to how we grow Always Best Care," stated Jake Brown, President and CEO. He added that the strategic appointments reflect a commitment to providing not just startup guidance but continuous support throughout the ownership journey.
As they embark on this initiative, Always Best Care is determined to fortify its standing as a lead provider of non-medical in-home care and senior living referral services.
