Married and Signed in the Same Week: J. Herzog and C. Cummings Bring CareBuilders at Home to the Austin Area

on

FranCoach is excited to announce that J. Herzog and C. Cummings are opening CareBuilders at Home in Hutto, Texas, serving the greater Austin area. They found their fit with FranCoach coach Graham Chapman. And in a week they’ll never forget, they got married the same week they signed their franchise agreement.

A Strategist and a Nurse

Herzog already runs his own pressure and soft washing business. He holds a bachelor’s in accounting and a master’s degree, with deep experience in accounting, HR, operations and process automation. Cummings is a nurse who brings direct healthcare experience. He sees himself as the strategist and systems builder; she shines at execution once the plan is set.

Building Something That Lasts

After years of “putting in the work for others,” Herzog wanted control and stability. He was looking for a business built on real need, consistency and recurring revenue, one he could grow and eventually expand into more brands.

He also wanted a legacy. Faith is central to who he is, and he wants to build a culture grounded in integrity and fairness, where employees are treated well and share in the success.

Why CareBuilders at Home

CareBuilders wasn’t at the top of their list at first. But as they worked through the process, it became the clear best fit. His HR and operations background plus her healthcare experience made the couple ideal for a home care business.

“J. Herzog and C. Cummings are an amazing couple who are ready to take on the challenges of business ownership together. They are smart and determined, but don’t take themselves too seriously, the perfect recipe to build an amazing culture and attract wonderful clients and staff members. With their warm hearts and infectious personalities, they are an ideal fit to bring CareBuilders at Home to the Austin area.”

— Graham Chapman, FranCoach

About CareBuilders at Home

CareBuilders at Home brings more than 40 years of home care experience. Its roots go back to Tender Loving Care, founded by brothers David and Stephen Savitsky, which grew into one of the largest home care providers in the U.S. Today the brand is part of ATC Healthcare and is based in Lake Success, New York. What sets it apart is complete back-office support: corporate handles payroll and billing, so owners can focus on clients, caregivers and community relationships.
