This system encompasses various components, including the brand's names and marks, trade names, standards, advertising, marketing programs, inspection protocols, franchisee consultation, and crucially, training programs and materials.

Beehive Homes requires the franchisee, or at least one of the franchisees if there are multiple, and the resident manager to complete a training program. This program is up to three days in duration and takes place at a location designated by Beehive Homes, which may include the corporate office or an operating franchise. The franchisee is responsible for covering the costs of travel, lodging, and meals for themselves and their resident manager during the training. Additional representatives can attend the training at the franchisee's expense with prior consent from Beehive Homes.

The training program covers a range of topics, including business planning, home development, resident admissions, employee training, and resident care. Specific areas of focus include business location, financing, legal structure, licensing, insurance, marketing, accounting, staffing, office setup, charting, understanding aging and illness, providing personal care, medication management, and resident nutrition. If the franchisee or resident manager does not complete the training program to Beehive Homes' satisfaction, Beehive Homes may terminate the agreement or provide additional personnel to train the staff at the franchisee's expense.
