Assisted Living Locators

About

Founded in 2003 and franchising since 2006, Assisted Living Locators (a flagship brand of Evive Brands) pioneered the senior housing placement agency franchise model. The company provides a free, no-cost referral and placement service for seniors and their families who are searching for assisted living facilities, memory care communities, independent living facilities, and skilled nursing care. Local franchise advisors meet personally with families to assess care needs, budget parameters, and location preferences, guiding them through facility selection, tours, and transition logistics. Assisted Living Locators receives placement commissions directly from senior living facilities upon successful placement, delivering invaluable guidance to families at no charge. The financial investment to launch an Assisted Living Locators franchise ranges from $74,235 to $94,500, making it an exceptionally accessible, low-overhead home-based business opportunity. The initial franchise fee is $49,500, with candidates needing liquid capital of $50,000 and a net worth of $150,000. Ongoing royalty fees are established at 8% of gross revenues. Because the concept requires no physical retail facility, inventory, medical licensing, or caregiver staff management, operating overhead remains minimal while generating attractive margins on completed placements. Operational models accommodate both owner-operators and semi-absentee executive managers seeking business flexibility. Assisted Living Locators delivers comprehensive corporate training covering senior housing evaluation, eldercare medical terminology, family consulting frameworks, and local healthcare referral networking. Franchisees gain access to proprietary customer placement software, national referral contract agreements with major senior facility chains, and marketing toolkits tailored for hospital discharge planners, elder law attorneys, and physicians. Ongoing coaching is provided by dedicated corporate mentors. The ideal franchisee candidate is an empathetic, sales-oriented professional, corporate executive, or healthcare representative with strong networking skills and a sincere commitment to assisting elderly adults and their families through critical life transitions. To facilitate long-term business equity and operational confidence, the franchisor delivers ongoing business development coaching, regular webinars, and annual brand conventions where owners can network and share best practices. The corporate leadership team provides continuous support including regular marketing updates, compliance reviews, and operational audits to ensure local territories maintain high brand standards and maximize administrative efficiency.
