What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Caring Senior Service's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the 'Approved Services and Products' are defined as nonmedical assistance to the elderly and to disabled or infirm adults at their homes and the retail sale of related products. The franchise agreement grants the franchisee the right to use the Caring Senior Service system and proprietary marks to market, sell, and provide these approved services and products within their designated territory.
These Approved Services and Products are the only offerings authorized to be sold through the Caring Senior Service business. This means a franchisee must stick to the services and products that Caring Senior Service has pre-approved. This restriction ensures consistency across all franchise locations and protects the brand's image.
Caring Senior Service retains the right to modify the approved services and products over time. While franchisees can sell approved services to clients located anywhere, they are restricted from engaging in promotional activities or selling products/services through electronic media, catalogs, or telecommunications without the franchisor's consent. This ensures that Caring Senior Service maintains control over its brand and marketing strategies, especially in the digital space.
