Read from each filing’s own training table — its totals row, or the sum of its rows where every row states a number. A blank cell is never counted as a zero, and self-paced online study is not counted as on-the-job training, because the tables print them as different columns.
Where it happens, and who has to be there
Part of it is or may be delivered remotely.
Who must attend: you and one key employee (for a total of up to two trainees)p. 31 ↗

What CareBuilders at Home says it earns from what an owner has to buy
- Us (franchisor) or affiliate as designated/approved supplier
If we and/or our affiliate are designated or approved suppliers, we have the right to earn a profit on your purchases from us or our affiliate. However, during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2025, neither we nor our affiiates derived any revenue due to our franchisees’ required purchases and leases.
How to read what a system provides
- This is what each filing says it does, not a scorecard. We list the support a system describes. A system that does not mention something has not necessarily withheld it — Item 11 is written by the franchisor, and silence is silence.
- Hours belong to an audience. A filing states training hours separately for an owner, a manager and clinical staff, and those figures are never added together. Only the owner's hours compare across systems.
- Required is not the same as named. A system an owner must buy and use is a different commitment from one the filing merely mentions, and we keep the filing's own word for it.

What the filing says, in its own words
- Grand-opening / launch marketing: “Under this program we will consult with you on how to allocate these funds towards marketing, promotions, lead generation, and targeting of potential clients in your first six months to help accelerate your start-up. These funds will be spent to increase traffic and generate leads to your dedicated website through online marketing via Pay Per Click (PPC), Search Engine Optimization (SEO) and retargeting. Funds may also be used to promote your Franchised Business on various social media platforms and provide local listings and reputation management. In addition, we will provide you with a launch kit that will include items such as brochures, business cards, car magnets, and a pop-up display sign.”p. 28 ↗
- Pre-opening guidance: “As discussed in Item 8, identify the Operating Assets, products, materials, supplies, and services you must use to develop and operate the Franchised Business, the minimum standards and specifications that you must satisfy, and the designated and approved suppliers from whom you must or may buy or lease these items.”p. 26 ↗
- Site / office location assistance: “You must select the site for your Franchised Business, and you must obtain our written approval of any proposed site in accordance with our procedures. Our written approval will not be unreasonably withheld if that the site meets our minimum qualifications.”p. 30 ↗
- Website / digital marketing presence: “We will provide you with a Website that we have preapproved for your use. You are only permitted to use the Website we provide.”p. 29 ↗
- Annual conference / convention: “Conduct a meeting of our franchisees, which will not be held more frequently than annually and will be held only when we believe it will be beneficial to our franchisees. We may specify that attendance at a franchisee meeting is mandatory for you and/or your manager. (Franchise Agreement – Section 4.3.)”p. 27 ↗
- Business coaching / field support visits: “Use our best efforts to assist you in developing your Franchised Business, including reviewing contracts, seeking national accounts, and providing staffing leads. (Franchise Agreement – Section 4.2.)”p. 26 ↗
- Initial training program: “Train up to two people at no additional charge. (Franchise Agreement – Section 4.1.) We describe this training later in this Item.”p. 26 ↗
- Ongoing / additional training: “Provide periodic refresher training courses, conference calls, webinars, etc., some of which may be designated as mandatory. (Franchise Agreement – Section 4.1.)”p. 27 ↗
What this filing does not disclose
- Nothing material to this question is missing from this filing.
Everything on this page is what CareBuilders at Home’s 2026 filing says it provides, in the filing’s own terms. Nothing here is a comparison except the training hours: the rest is a description a franchisor wrote about itself, and the absence of an item means the filing did not mention it. Source ↗
