Always Best Care Senior Services, one of the leading senior care franchise systems in the United States, announced today the launch of its newest territory in the state of North Carolina with the opening of its newest location in Matthews and Pineville. Located at 1811 Sardis Road North Suite 216, Always Best Care of Matthews and Pineville is owned and operated by new franchisees Shayna and Jerrell Tonia, and will provide award-winning senior care services to Matthews and Pineville as well as the surrounding communities of South Charlotte, Mint Hill, Wildwoods, and Allen.

"With Shayna's strong background in business management coupled with Jerrell's leadership expertise, we are certain these driven entrepreneurs will establish strong relationships within their community and provide quality care for the seniors they serve," said Jake Brown, President & CEO of Always Best Care. "The senior population continues to expand in the greater South Charlotte area, and we are thrilled the Tonia's will be spearheading our growth in North Carolina with this opening. We look forward to supporting their business every step of the way."

Born and raised in Orlando, Florida, the Tonia's recently relocated to North Carolina, now calling the Tar Heel State home a little over a year ago. The husband-and-wife team bring more than 12 years of experience in the management and banking industries. The entrepreneurs have also worked within companies like OneMain Financial and PC Godfrey, constantly proving their drive and dedication to success. Throughout her career in the banking industry, Shayna fulfilled personal banker and account specialist roles, while Jerrell worked in management as a warehouse and inventory manager. Today, the duo is pleased to have already employed three nurses and five caregivers as part of their initial launch, as well as Cheryl Green, Shayna's mother, as Operations Manager of the business.

"Always having the dream to become an entrepreneur and work for ourselves, Jerrell and I knew that looking for a proven franchise model would be an ideal option for us as we established ourselves within the Mathews community," said Shayna. "After looking deeper into our diverse skill sets and what is close to our hearts, we knew Always Best Care was the perfect business for us. With the support of the corporate office and the need for senior care in the greater South Charlotte area, I know our family-owned business will continue to make great strides in providing quality care for our community members."
