You Have Choices

We’ve referred a lot to the fact that we are, very proudly, a membership organization. But some people have trouble getting their arms around this unique concept. They fear that by joining an organization, they will give up ownership of their company and their unique identity. With The Senior’s Choice, nothing could be further from the truth.

Certainly we’ve all been trained to think, “If it sounds too good to be true, then it probably is.” But we assure you, membership with The Senior’s Choice really is that good.

Membership in The Senior's Choice will introduce you to new people, provide you with fresh ideas, and expose you to proven methods that get results. So instead of starting your business all on your own, your business will be backed up by an organization of dedicated professionals who will help you every step of the way as you grow your company. As an independent business owner, you lose none of the freedom, flexibility and autonomy that you cherish. You still get to decide how to run your company…we'll just show you how to run it better.Expert Private Duty Assistance

Here’s an overview of the benefits of membership with The Senior’s Choice:

• Royalty-Free: You pay no royalties on your hard earned income. Instead, you pay a reasonable monthly fee after you have set-up your business and attended our training.

• No Long-Term Contracts: Unlike a typical franchise agreement, our members can “opt out” anytime they like. So while we are contractually obligated to support our members as long as they remain with our organization, they can leave us anytime they feel the services and savings we provide them are no longer worth their membership dues, or for any other reason. In other words, we have to earn our fees every month, and that’s the way we like it.

• The Most Comprehensive Training and Start-Up Package in The Industry: We provide live training for four (4) days, supplemented with our Training and Operations Manual with DVD's, Caregiver Training Manual with DVD's, Certified Companion Aide® Training Program and our TSC Operating Systems Manual. The comprehensive knowledge you gain from our initial training prepares you to launch your business with confidence (and maybe a little swagger).

• Support Services: The hallmark of The Senior’s Choice membership. Click here to see how members have ranked our support services over the years with Pinnacle Consulting, a third-party survey company.Pinnacle Consulting

• A Guarantee of Non-Competition: All members will be granted a protected territory which will insure that they are the only TSC member in their area.

• Unlimited Telephone Coaching: Questions can be answered, challenges can be overcome and focus can be enhanced by simply calling our office and speaking with someone on the support team or with one of our successful members.

• Low-Cost Liability Insurance: Because of our national bargaining power, our members are able to buy Professional Liability coverage for their businesses and Fidelity Bonds on all caregivers at substantial savings. The savings on insurance alone is far more than the monthly dues you pay to remain a TSC member.

• Scheduling Software: Our members receive industry-leading caregiver/client scheduling software for a nominal fee. It allows you to keep track of all caregivers and clients, easily schedule your services, generate invoices, simplify your payroll, and much more.

• Free access to all training events for yourself and your key staff: As you hire people to help you run your business, you can send them to our training events. You may even choose to re-attend training events yourself any time we offer them. We also host frequent regional and national training events.

• Business Leads: While it is impossible for us to guarantee each member a certain number of potential client referrals, our members routinely receive referrals from our office, our website, our industry partners, and (equally important) from each other.

• Free use of a variety of public presentation formats and other marketing programs: These include exclusive programs complete with professionally-produced videos, presentation scripts, and brochures on such topics as Fall Prevention and other issues of interest to seniors, their families, and/or healthcare audiences. These tools enable you to gain access to potential clients, and you may use them as long as you are a member of The Senior’s Choice.

• Caregiver continuing education and certification program: You will differentiate yourself in the marketplace by offering a team of caregivers who have received extra training and who have been accredited as a Certified Companion Aide, CCA®. No other competitors can make this claim, and it will set you apart.

• Advertising and PR resources: As a member of The Senior’s Choice, you will benefit from and have access to a variety of Advertising and PR tools, including articles published about us around the country, print, radio, TV and direct mail advertising that you can duplicate in your area – as well as agreements with national providers of services from which you can benefit, such as long-term care insurance.

• Updates on System Changes: As the market and the laws change, we keep our system of operations up-to-date. Members have access to our password-protected message boards and on-line document support, which provide constant updates on changes in the industry and our systems.

• Networking with other Senior’s Choice business owners: We provide several forums and opportunities for you to connect with a great group of fellow Members and business owners.
