Messrs. Citrenbaum and Garron were selected on the basis of eight distinct criteria, said Mr. Newman. The criteria consisted of …

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 is providing support.

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?

The award was presented at Always Best Care's International Conference at the Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino in Las Vegas, NV last month.
