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 option to charge a fee for these additional or ongoing training programs. The franchisee is responsible for covering all expenses incurred by themselves and their trainees. These expenses include, but are not limited to, travel costs, room and board, wages, payroll taxes, and any training fees charged by Caring Transitions.
This requirement ensures that franchisees stay updated with the latest standards, procedures, and offerings within the Caring Transitions system. It also helps maintain consistency and quality across all franchise locations. While the initial training costs are defined, franchisees should budget for potential ongoing training expenses to remain compliant and competitive.
