1. What are the demographics for an adult day care center?
In order to establish a need for an adult day care center there should be approximately 10,000 older adults that are at least 60 years of age living within a defined driving radius. All SarahCare franchisees are granted exclusive territory for each of their centers.
2. Will you help me with site selection?
Yes, as a SarahCare franchisee, we will assist you in locating a site for your SarahCare center(s). We will conduct an in-depth review of all materials included in your Sarah Real Estate Manual during your initial training program. The Sarah Real Estate Program provides you and your commercial real estate broker with specific guidelines for sites within both commercial and residential areas, a listing of FAQ’s usually asked by potential landlords, checklists for evaluating your competition, and a checklist of items to be provided to us by your real estate broker prior to our visit for final site selection.
3. How long does it take from the time of signing to the Grand Opening?
This depends on how quickly you find a site and the leasehold improvements are completed. All other factors such as licensure, funding, and marketing depend on these factors. The average time is 8 to 12 months.
4. What is the franchise fee?
The current franchise fee is $29,900.
5. What is the Royalty fee and what will I receive for this fee?
As a SarahCare franchisee, your support representative is a member of an interdisciplinary team that consists of a nurse, social service provider, activities specialist, marketing consultant, and an operations director. Any one of these team members is available for a site visit or consultation by telephone. There is never any reason for a SARAH franchisee to be concerned or worried. Assistance is only a 1-800 number away. This is important as adult day services is a multi-faceted business. You will also receive immediate news releases and announcements of pending national legislation and changes in federal regulations. Marketing programs and ideas are sent to you on a regular basis. Web-based training seminars concerning marketing, nursing issues, and activities are planned. Royalty fee is 5% based on monthly gross revenue.
