What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Caring Transitions' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Caring Transitions may require franchisees (or their Designated Individual) to attend refresher courses, seminars, and other training programs periodically.
Caring Transitions has the right to charge a fee for this additional or ongoing training. The franchisee is responsible for covering all expenses incurred by themselves and their trainees. These expenses include, but are not limited to, the cost of travel, room and board, wages, payroll taxes, and any training fees charged by Caring Transitions.
This requirement ensures that franchisees stay updated with the latest operational standards, service offerings, and any changes to the Caring Transitions system. While this ongoing training helps maintain service quality and brand consistency, it also represents an additional cost for the franchisee, who must factor in training fees and associated expenses.
