CarePatrol provides comprehensive training designed to equip franchisees with the knowledge and skills needed to succeed in the senior living placement industry. The training program is divided into two phases and typically spans 12 weeks. The first phase can take about six weeks and includes a combination of self-study, eLearning, virtual classes, and in-person sessions.
Training occurs both at the franchisor’s designated location, currently in Gilbert, Arizona, and within the franchisee’s approved territory. This setup ensures that franchisees receive practical, location-specific training relevant to their market. The program covers a wide range of topics, including business operations, marketing strategies, and the specifics of senior care placement.
Additionally, CarePatrol offers ongoing support and refresher courses, which may be required periodically to ensure that franchisees stay updated with the latest industry standards and best practices. This continuous support system is a critical part of CarePatrol's commitment to helping franchisees build a successful business.
CarePatrol offers its franchisees territory protection, ensuring that each franchisee has an exclusive area in which they can operate without competition from other CarePatrol franchises.
The protected territory is determined based on several factors, including the number of senior housing facilities, the total population within the area, and the number of beds available. This protection is outlined in the Franchise Agreement, which typically defines the territory by specific U.S. Postal Service ZIP codes.
The territory protection guarantees that no other CarePatrol franchise or company-owned location will be established within the designated area, allowing franchisees to build their business with confidence that their market remains exclusive to them.
