The Community Caregivers’ Story
With years of experience in community based nursing, Lisa Smith developed an organization that provided the elderly and disabled with a safe and economical alternative to institutional care. The Hartville, Ohio agency opened its doors in 1998 and has grown to 100 employees with an average of 9500 hours of client service per month.
Through years of experience our service delivery model has been perfected. We have implemented training an certification programs for our direct care staff that are unparalleled in our industry. We pride ourselves on serving the elderly and disabled with the skill of a professional and the compassion of a family member. Our decision to franchise in 2001 enabled us to expand our vision of “families taking care of families” by growing one community at a time.

The royalty fee is an on-going payment that you make to us for the duration of your Community Caregivers franchise. Our royalty fee is 5% of the gross business receipts. This fee pays for your continuing right to use the Community Caregivers’ name, proprietary equipment, and methods at your location.

Opening day is approximately 90 days from the date you sign the Unit Franchise Agreement. There are many variables that affect the opening, such site location, staff recruitment, and training implementation. Our franchise staff will assist you in navigating this process in order to expedite the opening your Community Caregivers franchise location.

No. The only prerequisite for joining our team is having compassion for the elderly and disabled. The Community Caregivers franchise staff has a proven system to assist you in building a qualified team of both management and medical professionals.
What training will I receive?
A 30 day intensive training regime is conducted at both our corporate headquarters in Akron, Ohio, and at your specific franchise location. You will gain both classroom and field experience, covering all aspects of operating a successful Community Caregivers franchise. In addition, we will provide you with a comprehensive Operations Manual, giving you detailed information about opening and managing your location.
What other assistance does CCF provide?
Our franchise staff will offer guidance in choosing a centralized location for your office. We will also assist in recruiting and training each franchise management staff. Community Caregivers Franchising will also provide help in obtaining a secured Medicaid contract.
What is the next step?

Then, if you are ready to join the Community Caregivers’ family, we will work together to try to make your dream a reality.
