    Frequently Asked Questions

    Is an health care background necessary? Absolutely not. Most of our Area Directors do not have health care experience. An Area Director’s role is to match caregivers with families based on a list of criteria. Local caregivers do all the care.

    What type of training does Acti-Kare provide? Acti-Kare provides training at our location in Tampa, Florida. On-line training (with an instructor) is also available for franchises that wish to begin operations within a quicker time-frame or need more time to complete our training program. Franchise Owners that elect to receive on-line training are also welcome to participate in our In-Person training program in Tampa at a future time.

    Operating in-home care services takes more than just having good caregivers. Acti-Kare’s proven marketing strategies attract new customers while maintaining the existing ones. We will provide you with an intense marketing plan that utilizes high visibility advertising strategies. We will show you how to identify potential customers and understand the market forces that will help your business grow. On-going training through educational seminars, conference calls, newsletters and internet forums are just a few of the tools we employ to help keep you on the competitive edge. Acti-Kare is committed in every way possible to launch your business, attract new customers and keep your franchise manageable.

    In addition, Acti-Kare offers ongoing professional development opportunities to your caregivers. A variety of topics are covered, including maintaining health and safety standards, best practices for keeping clients active and engaged, proper record keeping and more!

    How will I find qualified caregivers? Acti-Kare’s support staff will provide new franchise owners with assistance in recruiting, screening, and hiring qualified caregivers suitable for the territory size. Caregivers enjoy working for Acti-Kare because of the flexibility, great pay, and the opportunity to help families through Acti-Kare.

    How much capital will I initially need? In addition to the franchise fee, we recommend having an additional $15,000 to $25,000 for advertising, promotions, equipment and working capital.

    Can I operate my Acti-Kare business from home? The answer depends on two key factors, the state you operate in and the services you provide. It is quite common to start off providing companion services and then expand into to personal care offerings. Depending on the state, a personal care license may require a small office that is not located in your home. Acti-kare assists all of our franchises with determining what is the best strategy to implement depending on your resources, goals and time-frame.

    .Do I receive a protected territory? Yes! Acti-Kare will work with you to select a protected geographic territory based on zip codes. Territories are awarded on a first-come, first-serve basis. Acti-Kare may not place another Acti-Kare franchise within your territory. Please contact our franchise development department to find out what territories are available in your area.

    Does Acti-Kare provide national advertising? Yes! Acti-Kare franchisees contribute 2% of their monthly gross revenue into a National Advertising Fund. This Fund is designated for national and regional advertising and marketing campaigns to build the Acti-Kare brand and drive leads at the local, franchisee level.

    What royalties are connected with the Acti-Kare franchise? We waive your monthly royalty for the first 30 days from the date of your agreement, enabling you to put more money into starting your business. Thereafter, you are required to pay a monthly royalty fee. This fee is based on the percentage reflected in your franchise agreement.

    Clients Testimonials

     

    “I did a lot of research before deciding to join the Acti-Kare franchise family. Their top notch corporate support, call center, training and marketing materials all gave me peace of mind that I could successfully grow my business. But what really stood out was their commitment to providing high quality care services for each and every client they served.”

    “When we decided to purchase a franchise in the companion-care industry, we searched for a company that reflected our lifestyle and values. We wanted this to be more than “just an income.” Acti-Kare’s renewed commitment to keep clients active in their environment and optimize their nutrition reassured us that we made the right choice. In addition, Acti-Kare provides the balance of corporate support and franchisee independence that we wanted for our business.”
