Training & Support |
||
| AmeriCare Homecare | FirstLight HomeCare | |
| Training | We begin training before training begins. Before you even attend classes, we start working with you to answer questions, walk you through materials and assist you in the licensing process. When you arrive for formal training, you're better able to benefit from the interactive and role-playing exercises. This hands-on experience offers much more than any lecture ever could. We even help you build your business during training sessions by making sales calls with you and assisting you in setting up appointments. The last thing we want to do is send you back home with a stack of manuals and little applicable understanding. Training doesn't end when you return home. Our post training makes sure that the learning continues, with weekly conference calls, continuing education and support in your market. No one else offers this level of connectivity because only AmeriCare's Master Franchise Program provides you with an Area Developer to mentor you towards growth. | Our training is state-of-the art in the senior care industry and begins with five full days at our headquarters in suburban Cincinnati, OH. This is very hands-on and personalized in small group settings to maximize the learning experience. Additionally, ongoing training modules for your managers, caregivers, referral networking managers and care managers/schedulers are provided as your business grows and your training needs evolve. We believe in "learning for life" and have patterned our franchise services in the same manner On-The-Job Training: 32 hours Classroom Training: 40 hours |
| Support | We are driven by the simple approach that if our franchisees are successful, we will all be successful. Our support infrastructure is geared to enabling your success first. You will receive a range of direct services and training via a five day, extensive, new owner learning session; onsite visits; telephone coaching; operational analysis; Intranet forums; regional meetings and national conferences; entrepreneurial network sharing; and future services as we evolve and your needs change as your FirstLight business grows.
