Is there a guarantee that Caring Transitions will provide other materials, information, and assistance?

According to Caring Transitions' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Caring Transitions will provide additional materials, information, and assistance as they deem necessary during the operation of the franchised business. While this is the stated policy, the franchise agreement gives Caring Transitions discretion in determining what is necessary.

Specifically, Caring Transitions commits to providing assistance via telephone, email, office visits, and Web-based programs to the extent they deem necessary. This indicates that the level and method of support can vary and is subject to Caring Transitions' assessment of the franchisee's needs. The FDD also states that Caring Transitions is not required to provide any assistance except as listed in the document.

Prospective franchisees should consider this discretionary aspect of support and assistance. It would be prudent to discuss with existing franchisees their experiences with the level of support provided by Caring Transitions and under what circumstances additional support was offered or deemed necessary. Understanding the criteria Caring Transitions uses to determine 'necessary' support can help a franchisee better anticipate the resources they can expect to receive.
