Franchisees Provide Personalized Support and Community Involvement for Seniors
The United States is getting older. Research shows the number of Americans age 65 and older will more than double by 2040, increasing demand on already-stretched assisted living services. Finding appropriate senior care can be complicated and stressful, but Assisted Living Locators (ALL) helps simplify the process. With its successful business model and culture of community service, ALL is making a positive impact in the lives of its clients and the communities the brand serves.
“Our franchises help families navigate the often overwhelming process of finding the right care options, including assisted living, home care and memory care,” says Angela Olea, a registered nurse and founder/CEO of Assisted Living Locators. “By offering free, personalized guidance and hands-on support, we alleviate stress for families and help ensure that seniors receive compassionate and appropriate care. This not only supports families during challenging times but also fosters a community that values its senior members.”
Along with its challenges, the nation’s aging population creates tremendous market opportunity. The U.S. assisted living facility market size is expected to increase at a compound annual growth rate of 5.53% from 2023 to $140.8 billion by 2030, according to Grand View Research.
A Growing Network
Founded in 2003 and a pioneer in senior care placement and referral, ALL now has more than 150 franchise locations. To meet the needs of clients, ALL provides a robust support system for franchisees, starting with a two-day onsite training, followed by eight weeks of individual training with a dedicated coach. Franchise owners also receive marketing and advertising training and branded collateral, and access to a proprietary technology platform, Assisted Living Locators Integrated Network (ALL-IN), which helps franchisees build and manage their referral network, clients, reporting and invoicing.
As ALL is part of Evive Brands, franchisees also have access to preferred external vendors of services including insurance, human resources and business consulting.
Community Involvement
Community involvement is integral to ALL’s mission. Examples include collaborating on the corporate level with local nonprofits to provide resources for seniors and their caregivers, and participating in national campaigns such as the Walk to End Alzheimer’s.
Assisted Living Locators also participates in workshops on senior living options, local health fairs and seminars on elder care planning. “These initiatives underscore our dedication to not just doing business in the community but being part of it,” Olea says.
