Burkburnett, Texas, January 6, 2023 \u2013 With over 24 years of service in the post-acute care space, Michelle Cone, HomeWell Franchising\u2019s Senior Vice President of Training and Brand Programs, recently received McKnights most prestigious award\u2014the Pinnacle. Reserved for industry veterans who have furthered the value of home care across the care continuum, the Pinnacle Thought Leader recognition was awarded to Cone for the ingenuity and innovation she has displayed throughout her illustrious career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWith the Pinnacle Awards, McKnights is honoring the individuals who have not only reached the top of the profession but managed to remain there for years,\u201d said McKnights Publisher Craig Roth. \u201cThey\u2019ve inspired us in the past, and they\u2019ll continue to do so for as long as they remain in the field.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Receiving such an esteemed award was an experience to remember for Cone. Reflecting on her time in the industry, from skilled nursing to inpatient rehabilitation and now, non-medical home care at HomeWell, she was overcome with gratitude.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

“To be recognized along with industry peers who have set and continue to set the standard within their respective fields and who have dedicated their professional lives to making a positive impact on the lives of others\u2014it is quite remarkable. I am humbled, appreciative and quite taken aback by this award.”<\/p>\n\u2014Michelle Cone, SVP of Training & Brand Programs at HomeWell Franchising, Inc.<\/em><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Like many drawn to the industry, Cone\u2019s motivation and sense of fulfillment come from helping others. She has witnessed the positive influence of quality care\u2014lives changed, families\u2019 sense of hope restored and even entire senior communities transformed\u2014and that has propelled her for over 20 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe most gratifying part of my career is reflecting on how many patients, clients and families I have had the opportunity to help during their care journey. Also, in more recent years, working with HomeWell to support entrepreneurs to allow them to fully realize their dreams of business ownership while positively impacting the thousands of employees and clients they serve.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cone joined HomeWell Franchising in 2016 as the Vice President of Operations before transitioning into her current role as the Senior Vice President of Training and Brand Programs in 2020. Under her leadership, the franchise innovated several signature and specialty care programs catered to homebound individuals facing distinct health and wellness challenges, including the Go-HomeWell Post-Medical Care\u2122<\/a>, SureStep Fall Prevention\u2122<\/a>, and the Life Enrichment Activities Program\u2122 (LEAP)<\/a>, and hospice<\/a>, low vision<\/a> and dementia support<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Challenging the traditional general home care model, Michelle opted for specificity in developing the franchise\u2019s services, leveraging data and proven processes revealed to her through two decades of experience. And the results speak for themselves; over the last three years, HomeWell has achieved more than 88% growth and expanded its footprint in more than 25 new states. As HomeWell flourished,<\/strong> Cone ensured the franchise scaled its efforts to implement a more personalized care experience, including providing an expert Care Manager to administer an individual care plan for each client and their family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI feel incredibly motivated and encouraged to continue my journey and look for ways to elevate HomeWell\u2019s offerings in a value-based environment. The future of healthcare is in the home, and we have a tremendous opportunity to address the wants and needs of our most vulnerable populations\u2014both physically and emotionally\u2014like never before by delivering supportive services for the health of our clients in a non-medical way.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
