Ask-Carol - Senior Assisted Living Placement & Guidance - Franchise
At Ask-Carol, it’s not about us, it’s about YOU (and a few million seniors)!
First Things First
Carol started Ask-Carol in 2009 after helping her own mom and her friend's parents. Now, she personally helps every franchisee get started on the road to success. We think she’s a bit special, but then maybe you are too. We’re looking for special people who want to help seniors and get paid handsomely for it. You might say we do well by doing good.
Here’s what you need for success in a business. Any business.
- An unsaturated long-term growth market with huge potential (yes, we have that)
- A product that people don’t just want, but need – right now (yes, we have that, too)
- The drive, personality, ambition, and finances to make a business work (do you have those?)
- Guidance and support from people who know the business (yes, we sure do have that!)
How are we doing so far? Good. Read on.
- Our market is seniors. You may already know that the number of persons over 65 will double by 2060. Not that we need to wait. There are 46 million right now.
- Our service is placing those seniors in senior living. Right now over 1,000,000 people reside in assisted living.
- There are over 30,000 assisted living facilities - The average person stays about two years. So go ahead and do the math. Even without growth, they need 500,000 new residents each year. We help fill their rooms and get paid quite a lot for it.
- Can you find maybe thirty or so seniors this year in and around your community who need care? If so, you’ll have a very nice income. Heck, shoot for fifty of them. Few of your friends will be making that much money. We’ll teach you how to find them and help them.
- We’ve done the business ourselves. When you buy an Ask-Carol franchise, you are buying a proven business system. It’s our job to provide the tools. You own your Ask-Carol business. We help you, but we’re not your boss!
- You’ll need help learning and using the system and we’ll give it to you. You’ll start with our training program. That’s followed by weekly training by phone. Just you and our trainer, or even Carol. Free telephone support goes on as long as you own your franchise. If you need us, call us.
- So now it’s up to you to take the next step. We’ve got lots more to share with you. You want industry statistics? We’ve got them. You want references? We’ve got those, too. You want to get started? We’re ready for that, too.
"As a franchise owner of Ask-Carol, I was provided the training and tools to begin my career as a professional senior advisor. The continued support and direct communication with Carol and Bill, owners of the organization, and their staff is awesome. There is always someone to talk with, bounce ideas around, ask questions and receive guidance. Ask-Carol leadership made it easy for me to navigate the path of owing my own business and provided me the template of what to expect with little or no surprises." Sheila Baldeo
"Ask-Carol’s accessibility on a day-to-day basis has made an enormous difference in learning the Senior Care business and getting the franchise off the ground in a quick manner. Feedback and answers to questions are immediate, thus helping to navigate the difficult waters faced with starting any new business. Furthermore, Carol’s blueprint for success is a must follow and a can’t miss for franchise success."Doug Shellabarger
"When I was looking into different franchises, Ask-Carol stood out first as a fabulous business concept and a personal calling of sorts for me, yet the conversations with Bill and Carol solidified my decision by them both being so supportive and available."Susan Collins
"Bill and Carol spent three great days of one-to-one training with me and my husband. The manual they have created is so helpful! Our weekly training sessions with Nellie are very educational. She is extremely knowledgeable, a great coach and inspiring."Sheree Lewis
