About ComForCare Franchise

ComForCare, part of the Best Life Brands family, is a leader in the in-home care industry with programs designed to stabilize and improve quality of life. Most notably, ComForCare created DementiaWise®, a comprehensive care approach for people with Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of dementia that focuses on accentuating the positive by supporting and encouraging remaining skills and abilities; and Joyful Memories®, an interactive, singalong program that uses the power of music to create connections and positive outlets for emotional expression. 

ComForCare’s DementiaWise® is recognized by the Alzheimer’s Association® for incorporating evidenced-based Dementia Care Practice Recommendations in the following topic areas: Alzheimer’s and dementia, person-centered care, assessment and care planning, activities of daily living, and behaviors and communication.

ComForCare’s exclusive DementiaWise program offers caregivers who are specially trained to engage and enhance the lives of those with Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia, while providing support and education for the family. The program implements proven practices for dementia care, follows strategies to decrease challenging dementia behaviors, meets a client’s physical and emotional needs, and engages them in meaningful activities.

When you think about public servants in our communities, police and firefighters often come to mind. But behind the scenes, there are hundreds of thousands of caregivers taking care of our aging adult population, and the need is growing by the minute. They’re our real unsung heroes, and our mission is to change that.

Simply put, ComForCare puts caregivers first. After 20 years in business, we know the industry better than anyone, as well as the demanding requirements of being a caregiver. Our program focuses on taking excellent care of our caregivers, because it’s the best way we can help them take outstanding care of their clients.

Own a Senior Home Care Franchise

Give back to the generation who paved the way for ours.

ComForCare is your opportunity to own a senior home care franchise business that makes a real, meaningful difference in the lives of people in your community. Our franchise owners are on a mission to help families find peace of mind, knowing that their aging loved ones want to “live their best life possible.” Founded over 20 years ago, ComForCare has grown to more than 200 franchise locations across the country and has built a national reputation as one of the most innovative leaders in the $300 billion senior care industry. As the demand for our comprehensive suite of senior care solutions continues to rapidly expand, ComForCare is actively looking for entrepreneurs who want to thrive in a business that requires heart and soul.

ComForCare caregivers get the training, education and recognition to allow them to excel in this important role.

Training

We’ve partnered with a best-in-class online learning site to get caregivers up to speed quickly, and our ongoing programs ensure they don’t miss a beat.

Matching Services

We’ll go in-depth on what they’re looking for as a caregiver and match them with clients who are a great fit on personality, skills and experience. 

Caregiver Engagement

We know seniors and their families want reassurance about who’s coming into their homes. ComForCare has a comprehensive hiring process that covers everything from background checks to verifying certifications and assessing ethics and reliability. We look for caregivers who are naturally empathetic and oriented toward service. In the home, that difference means caregivers are actively engaged in clients’ lives, treating them like valued family members and forging personal connections.

Creating a personalized care plan for every family we serve.

ComForCare knows that seniors’ needs can change quickly, so we developed a suite of in-home nurse assessments, customized care plans, and ongoing evaluations to anticipate and plan for those changes.

Certification and continuing education

ComForCare supports franchise owners and caregivers through multiple training programs so they are able to grow their skills and become an even more valuable asset.

Quality of Life Begins With Quality of Care

ComForCare is known for outstanding client service.

We make it a point to check in with clients frequently regarding

the quality of care and your overall satisfaction with services,

and respond quickly to any specific needs, requests, or issues.

ComForCare offers best-in-class training and support.

ComForCare invests a lot of time and care to finding the right franchise owners, who then are equally attentive and focused on building the best team of caregivers possible. So, it only makes sense that training is a strong focus and underscores everything we do.

From the outset, our experienced training and compliance teams work with franchise owners to identify licensure and other requirements, putting all the “nuts and bolts” into place so that the business can be operational and generating revenue as quickly as possible.

“We start with some pre-training around setting up the business and understanding our policies and procedures, then quickly move into looking at the local marketplace to understand how that ComForCare franchise owner can fit in,” says Branden Worback, Director of Operations. “Our training modules are designed not just to mirror the owners’ business cycles, but also to be underlined by our core values so that they can provide our clients the best care possible.”

FRANCHISE OWNER TRAINING

ComForCare franchise owners benefit from a multi-stage training process that includes self-study portions and hands-on workshops at ComForCare’s corporate headquarters. Our training has been created to engage with new franchise owners from the moment they come on board, and take them to, and through, opening and the busy days of building the initial client base.

• Phase One:

Here new owners are working with ComForCare’s startup team to identify a location, complete licensing and other state and municipality-specific requirements and set up bank accounts and other office-oriented needs.

• Phase Two:

This online training covers ComForCare basics such as services and pricing, as well as the foundational aspects of caregiver recruitment and training, scheduling and initial outreach strategies to connect with potential community partners.

• Phase Three:

After wrapping up the first two training phases, new franchise owners then spend two weeks at ComForCare’s corporate offices. This period is a deeper dive into materials covered in the earlier training, as well as new and comprehensive information on sales and marketing, compliance, ComForCare programs such as DementiaWise and more.

• Phase Four:

A follow-up to Phase Three, this training occurs at the franchise location and brings together both the online and in-classroom training to date by finalizing office setup, launching caregiver recruitment, setting up the franchise website, finishing a competitive analysis for the marketplace and anything else needed to prepare for launch.

• Phase Five:

ComForCare believes that training shouldn’t stop on opening day, and so this phase is dedicated to following up on operations, sales and marketing to make sure that everything is operating as smoothly as possible. During the first year there will be at least two field visits, more if needed. The entire corporate support team, including a dedicated business consultant, is accessible and responsive at any time.

Home care is a fast-moving, 24/7 business that changes every day. ComForCare knows that, and so our training for new owners is always evolving to incorporate the latest information. We track the trends and are always adding continuing education programs to our training and support platforms. This means ComForCare owners remain well-positioned to react and adapt positively to marketplace changes.
