## Story

Since its founding in 2006, Caring Transitions has become the leading senior relocation and transition services franchise in the senior care and support industry. The necessity of its services--providing clients with supportive moves, auctions, rightsizing and transitions--has resulted in a proven business model that’s grown to nearly 200 locations throughout the U.S. And this year, the brand was recognized by Entrepreneur Magazine, being placed #413 on the Franchise 500® list .

To be ranked on Entrepreneur’s prestigious list is no small feat. During the 38-plus years since the list was created, it has evolved to become the primary researching tool for entrepreneurs and a competitive measure for franchisors. Key factors that go into the evaluation of franchises for the ranking include size and growth, cost and fees, financial strength and stability, support and brand strength. The final score is based on 150 data point, and the top 500 franchises on the list are ranked to become the Franchise 500.

“We spend months gathering and crunching data in order to produce the Franchise 500 ranking. We’re proud of the result and the way it continues to be a resource for the franchise community,” says Jason Feifer, editor in chief of Entrepreneur. “Like every industry, franchising is ever-evolving and must smartly react to new technologies and consumer demands. We know it takes a lot to stay competitive, and are excited to celebrate those that do it best.”

The Caring Transitions brand’s Certified Relocation and Transition Specialists have taken the franchise’s model and values to truly make an impact for seniors. They provide comprehensive support for their clients, helping them plan a well-executed transition and offering expert advice on everything from sorting through and packing personal belongings to clearing and cleaning the property once all the client’s items have been shipped, moved or sold.

Caring Transitions has recognized that compassionate and helpful support is all in the details, including the small tasks that can seem far greater to the loved one of a senior, or to a senior themselves, as they’re experiencing one of the most life-altering transitions of their lives. The brand’s position on the ranking not only reinforces its strength in the industry, but in its power as a brand to meaningfully impact others.

“To be amongst the top franchise systems in the industry by Entrepreneur Magazine is an incredibly proud achievement for us,” says Caring Transitions president Chris Seman. “The ranking reinforces the strength of Caring Transitions and is a testament to how dedicated we are to our clients and how passionate we are about the work we do. Every one of our franchisees values the support we can provide to our communities, and that has led to building a great business.”
