Always Best Care Senior Services, one of the leading senior care franchise systems in the U.S., on Feb. 8 announced new owners for the South Jersey franchise.

Mount Laurel residents Comfort and Michael Oseme are the new owners of Always Best Care of Greater South Jersey, which serves Atlantic, Burlington and Camden counties and is one of six Always Best Care agencies across New Jersey.

The South Jersey franchise provides senior care services to communities including Absecon, Berlin, Egg Harbor City, Marlton, Medford, Moorestown, Waterford Works and surrounding areas.

“Always Best Care has a strong history in the South Jersey community providing high-quality senior care services,” Jake Brown, president and CEO of Always Best Care, said in a prepared statement. “Comfort’s nursing experience and deep knowledge of the health care space coupled with Michael’s finance background make them ideal franchisees for this business. I feel confident they have the knowledge and commitment to continue growing this business and providing a valuable service to seniors and their families in the area.”

Comfort Oseme earned two master’s degrees in nursing from Drexel University and has a background in both home care and acute care. She was most recently the nursing director for a large medical surgical telemetry unit. Michael Oseme earned an MBA from Rutgers University and previously was an associate vice president in finance.

“We have witnessed a definite shift from seniors seeking care in a facility to wanting to be cared for at home. As more Baby Boomers advance in age, this market for aging in place is growing by leaps and bounds,” Comfort Oseme said in the statement. “The opportunity to own our own business in such a rewarding industry and with an established brand in the community is a dream come true for us. We look forward to putting the resources of Always Best Care to work and continuing to serve Greater South Jersey.”
