Beehive_Homes Franchise · 2025 FDDAnswer from 2025 FDD Document
The franchise being offered in this disclosure document is the right to establish, construct and operate a Home offering services to persons who do not require skilled nursing assistance. No medical services are provided to residents at the Home. Homes are generally staffed with from 1 to 4 persons, depending upon the time of day. Higher staffing is generally required in the mornings with lower staffing at night. Homes provide meals, assistance with activities of daily living (ADL's) and social activities. Residents are primarily elderly persons who are generally able to take care of themselves and who can benefit from a group room and board arrangement. Residents typically come to a Home referred by word of mouth or in response to advertising of the Home. Residents may also be referred by their physician or in some cases by home health
providers. The Homes are based on a ranch style architectural appearance and are generally located in residential neighborhoods. Each Home is approximately 8,000 to 12,000 square feet and has from 15 to 24 bedrooms accommodating an equal number of residents. The Homes are generally constructed using standardized plans and are operated in a standardized manner.
The Homes as providers of health related services may be subject to regulation by the health agencies of the specific state in which a Home is located. Every state requires a certification of the Home, which certification requirements vary from state to state. Some states require that a licensed CNA be on staff and others may require that the administrator of the Home be certified by the respective state. Operation of the Homes is also subject to federal HIPAA privacy laws, and, if applicable, specific state privacy laws. No medical services are provided at the Homes. These laws and regulations may differ from state to state and should be considered in connection with any decision regarding a Bee Hive Homes franchise.
YOU will have to compete with other businesses providing similar services including several franchise programs competing with Bee Hive Homes. The principal market for the services of the franchise is the population of aging persons who are generally able to care for themselves or who may require some assistance with ADL's and who can benefit from the associations of a group living environment and meals and maintenance services of a Home.
The market is an emerging market driven by the aging of the general population.

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Beehive Homes' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Homes are generally staffed with 1 to 4 people, depending on the time of day. Higher staffing is generally required in the mornings, with lower staffing at night. The FDD requires the franchisee, and if there is more than one franchisee, at least one of the franchisees, and the resident manager to complete a training program of up to three days in duration.
While the FDD specifies that the franchisee and the resident manager are required to complete a training program, it does not explicitly state a limit on the number of resident managers a franchisee can employ. The staffing levels of 1 to 4 persons depending on the time of day suggests that multiple resident managers could be employed to cover different shifts or provide specialized care.
Therefore, a prospective franchisee should clarify with Beehive Homes whether there are any restrictions or requirements regarding the number of resident managers they can hire for their location. Understanding the staffing requirements and any limitations on the number of resident managers is crucial for ensuring adequate care for residents and efficient operation of the Beehive Homes franchise.
