Strategic Franchising Systems Surpasses 1,000 Units Milestone

Cincinnati, OH (PRWEB) March 12, 2014

At a time when companies are still finding their legs after the recession, Strategic Franchising Systems is running full speed ahead. Founded in 1997, the company recently surpassed 1,000 franchise units, consisting of six brands: Caring Transitions, Fresh Coat Painters, Home Helpers, Direct Link, The Growth Coach and TruBlue Total House Care.

Strategic Franchising Systems is strong as a company because of the strength of our individual brands. By working together, weve been able to combine our resources to better serve all of our owners, which has helped us grow, said Emma Dickinson, president of Home Helpers & Direct Link the two largest brands in the system.

But working together goes beyond shared resources; it also means having a powerful executive team to work with every day.

Each and every member of the executive team and the staff has their own skills and gifts they bring to the company. Having such a diverse CEO roundtable in the building is extremely unique and beneficial. From a growth standpoint, being able to walk down the hall and discuss ideas or challenges with the other leaders has an amazing impact on the development of our individual businesses and each other, Dickison added.

Home Helpers Strategic Franchising Systems began in 1997 with the founding of Home Helpers, a home care franchise specializing in non-medical, companion and personal care that was ranked the #1 senior care franchise for five consecutive years by Entrepreneur Magazine.

Over the years, Home Helpers has grown and broadened its scope of services. Today, it is one of only five national brands identified with having at least 300 locations, and it is part of a mere 15 percent of national non-medical senior care franchise brands expanding into skilled medical services.

Our mission is to be able to meet all of our clients needs, whether they are looking for a companion or they need full skilled medical services. We want to make sure everyone has the ability to remain independent as long as they possibly can, so well be rolling out services to allow that to happen in more places, said Dickison. Most companies either provide non-skilled care or skilled care. Were one of the few that can offer both in participating locations. This allows those offices participating to provide a broader, more complete continuum of care.

Direct Link In 1999, Direct Link was established as a complement to Home Helpers by offering 24/7 in-home medical emergency monitoring for the booming senior market. Direct Link is a complete, ready-to-operate franchise offering personal emergency response systems, medication dispensers and vital signs monitoring units. Its ever-expanding line of products supplements the care services provided by Home Helpers caregivers.

Caring Transitions Founded in 2006, the Caring Transitions franchise is leading the way in senior moving, household liquidations and estate sales management across the United States. As the only national business to specialize in this particular service, Caring Transitions has a unique role among the nations aging population.
