SOLENVIA Caregivers, a senior homecare franchise with emphasis on providing responsive, reliable care and dementia expertise, today announced the signing of their first franchise agreement. The two-territory deal will see husband-and-wife team Shaun and Jaminy Seagriff bring SOLENVIA’s brand of genuinely informed senior care to Pinellas and Hillsborough counties in greater Tampa Bay.
“Awarding our first franchise territories is a huge milestone for SOLENVIA Caregivers,” said Bryan Dylewski, founder of SOLENVIA Caregivers. “We built this brand to be the most reliable name in home care, and to provide peace of mind to families and clients in markets across the country. Shaun and Jaminy are exactly the kind of owners we want carrying that forward, and we couldn’t ask for a better team to bring SOLENVIA Caregivers into Florida.”
The Seagriffs both bring impressive resumes to the table, as Jaminy has a background in nursing and currently works as a talent acquisitions operations leader, while Shaun is global treasurer of MarineMax, Inc., the world’s largest recreational boat and yacht retailer. Their decision to franchise with SOLENVIA Caregivers was driven by a range of differentiators for the brand, from its caregiver transportation program to Certified Dementia Practitioner (CDP) training.
“What stood out to us about SOLENVIA Caregivers was the reliability built into every part of the model – from how quickly caregivers are placed, to how consistently they show up for families, to the specialized dementia training that gives us confidence in the level of care being provided,” said Shaun Seagriff. “Tampa Bay’s senior population is growing fast, and families here need a home care partner they can count on. That’s the opportunity we saw in bringing SOLENVIA Caregivers to our community.”
The agreement is doubly meaningful for SOLENVIA Caregivers, as it represents both the brand’s first signing as a franchise system and its expansion into a key market for senior care services. The brand incubated in New England, based on founder Bryan Dylewski’s own experience finding quality care during his father’s battle with ALS, and is currently looking to expand into new markets nationwide.
“We proved this model in Connecticut and Massachusetts, and now we’re excited to bring SOLENVIA Caregivers to new markets through franchising,” said Dylewski. “We’re in active conversations with operators across the country, and we anticipate territories in additional states to be awarded soon.”
