Always Best Care is one of the nation's leading providers of non-medical in-home care, assisted living services and skilled home health care. The company was named one of the best franchises for veterans by Military Times EDGE, and one of the top 50 franchises for veterans by the World Franchising Network in USA Today, June 21, 2013.

The company has launched a special contest to award a free franchise to military veterans in every state in the union – 51 free franchises (including the District of Columbia) in all, worth more than $2.6 million.

The program launched September 3 and is now in full swing, according to Mr. Newman. "The initial response has been really gratifying," he said. "We see Veterans embracing the concept of a free franchisee across the country as they seek opportunities to establish themselves in a new career."

In the contest, Veterans are asked to create and post a three-minute video, and complete an online entry form (click here to view the form).

Finalists will then be selected for personal interviews with a panel of judges comprised of Always Best Care executives. The videos will be judged on the basis of creativity, a compelling personal story that outlines why the veteran believes they should be a winner and become and Always Best Care business owner, the ability to apply former experience to the concept of business ownership, and personal attributes, including compassion for seniors and a driving desire to succeed.

Instructions on how to post the videos are included in the contest website, www.abc4free.com.

Winners will be awarded a free Always Best Care franchise – all franchise fees plus royalties, marketing and other fees will be waived for the first six months of operation. The total value of each free franchisee is a minimum of $51,200.

Veterans have until December 31, 2013 to complete their entries. Winners will be announced on or about February 1, 2014.
