What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Caring Senior Service's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the franchisor reserves the right to hold periodic meetings or conferences with franchisees. These meetings may cover topics such as new products and services or additional training.
Attendance at these meetings may be mandatory for the franchisee, the Agency Director, Homecare Consultant(s), Care Manager(s), or other designated employees. The franchisee is responsible for covering the costs associated with attending these conferences, including travel, lodging, meals, and wages for themselves and their personnel.
Caring Senior Service may charge a fee for training materials and conference registration, which the franchisee must pay regardless of whether they or their approved designees attend. This means franchisees should budget for these potential costs and ensure that key personnel are available to attend if required, to stay updated on any changes to the Caring Senior Service system.
