What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Brightstar Care's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the 'Home Care Clinical' training, which may include 'Clinical Standards – Nonskilled', is held in Bannockburn, IL or any other location Brightstar Care may designate, or via e-learning. This applies to the initial training programs that franchisees and their key staff are required to attend.
This means that new Brightstar Care franchisees and their staff may need to travel to Bannockburn, IL for the training or attend at an alternative designated location. However, Brightstar Care also offers the option to complete the training via e-learning, which could reduce travel costs and time away from their business. The 'Home Care Clinical' training involves 1.75 hours of classroom training.
It is important to note that Brightstar Care may also offer additional training programs or refresher courses, but the location, duration, and frequency of these programs are not specified in the FDD. Franchisees are responsible for covering travel, meal, lodging, and payroll expenses for themselves and their employees while attending any additional training programs. Therefore, franchisees should budget for these potential costs when planning their initial and ongoing training needs.
