About ComForCare

ComForCare, part of the Best Life Brands family, is leading 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. Creating a personalized care plan for every family we serve.

Our industry-leading franchise is meeting the rising demand for in-home care solutions. 10,000 people are turning 65 on a daily basis, a trend poised to continue until 2030 and beyond. This means that millions of families are going to face the difficult and emotional decision of finding the right care solution for their aging loved ones. ComForCare is a BEST-IN-CLASS provider (as rated by Net Promoter Scores from both clients and caregivers) of in home care solutions to empower everyone in the family to live their best life possible.

We specialize in helping loved ones get the care they need at home. ComForCare also helps entrepreneurs own a thriving business that makes a lasting difference in the lives of their clients.

With three innovative programs that set us apart from the rest of the industry, an intensive program that helps to hire and retain trusted caregivers, and exceptional ongoing support, ComForCare is poised for rapid growth as we continue to meet the rising demand for in-home care solutions.

A personalized approach to care makes all the difference.

As a franchise owner, you will manage a team of caregivers who serve as ambassadors to your business and deliver the care your clients need.

We teach you our 10-step hiring process that ensures your caregivers not only have the qualities, skills, and the empathy your clients deserve, but will also go above and beyond for your clients and deliver peace of mind to the families your business will serve.

ComForCare differentiates ourselves from other brands in the industry for the services that we provide. We help clients with medication reminders, safety supervision, bathing & hygiene, meal planning & preparation, light housework, companionship and more. Another key differentiator is our expertise in helping those with dementia. ComForCare has rightly won industry praise for pioneering DementiaWise®, a program that engages and enhances the lives of people with various forms of dementia, helping them to remain independent for as long as possible, while providing support and education for the family.

We provide the tools for caregivers to help clients every day, and because family members become part of the care team, they feel more capable when the caregivers are not there, we provide the families we serve with the tools and resources to be part of the solution.

Zero experience necessary.

While all of our franchise owners were compelled to join our franchise family out of a need to own a business that makes a difference, most had zero experience in the home care industry. Because of this, we have one of the most comprehensive training and ongoing support platforms in the industry.

Training and Support

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.

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.
