The company delivers its services through an international network of more than 200 independently owned and operated franchise territories throughout the United States and Canada.

At Always Best Care, the foundation of franchisees’ success is based on a powerful combination of corporate and local professionals working together with a vested interest in their growth, according to Michael Newman, founder and Chief Executive Officer of Always Best Care.

• Minimum of 4 franchisees in their territory in order to assure the Area Representative of the Year has a diverse base of franchisees for whom he/she is providing support.
• Average sales growth per franchisee – on both a percentage and actual basis, to demonstrate the results attained by franchisees under their tutelage.
• Business mix – do the franchisees in their territory have a mix of in-home care and assisted living revenue?
• Veteran’s Assistance Program – do the franchisees work with Always Best Care’s legal partner to provide assistance to veterans and surviving spouses who needed help getting funds to pay for the care they deserved?
• Always in Touch – did the franchisees they were coaching refer clients to Always in Touch, the free national telephone reassurance program sponsored by Always Best Care?
• Committee participation – did the Area Rep or franchisees participate in committees for the advancement of all franchisees or creation of national or regional programs
• Alzheimer’s fundraising – were franchisees Team Captains for local Always Best Care teams supporting the Alzheimer’s Association Walk to End Alzheimer’s?
• Free ABC Rx cards – did franchisees support and participate in the promotion and distribution of Free ABC Rx cards, a program that has saved users more than $500,000 off the cost of their prescription drugs?

The award was presented at a special dinner and awards ceremony in San Antonio, Texas, site of the fourth Always Best Care International Conference.
