Jennifer Selden, who owns <a href="https://1851franchise.com/rightathome">Right at Home</a> in Wilmington explains how aging in place has a number of benefits.“We’re talking about being able to remain in a familiar, comfortable environment, where you have your cat and you have your favorite blanket and your recliner and you know where everything is, so that familiarity I think is really important and comforting to people,” Selden told the Greater Wilmington Business Journal..Selden, who’s franchise services include helping seniors with activities of daily living, provides care for those suffering from different levels of cognitive impairment. Whether they need help bathing, dressing, with meal preparation, or just need company, Right at Home is a company that is providing an essential service for seniors now more than ever.<a href="http://www.wilmingtonbiz.com/in_other_news/2020/12/04/resourceful_aging/21225?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=greater-wilmington-business-journal-resourceful-aging-2714745" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Read the full article in the Greater Wilmington Business Journal here.</a>

Navy veteran&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/rightathomeperrysburg/">John Baldwin</a> has traded the tight confines of nuclear submarines for a different kind of high-stakes environment: families trying to keep aging loved ones safe at home.Baldwin, 64, owns a&nbsp;<a href="https://rightathomefranchise.com/">Right at Home</a> franchise in&nbsp;<a href="https://www.rightathome.net/perrysburg">Perrysburg, Ohio</a>, providing in-home support for seniors who want to stay where they are most comfortable. “We do in-home care and assistance for the elderly to help them age in place,” Baldwin&nbsp;<a href="https://toledofreepress.com/beneath-the-surface-the-veteran-behind-right-at-home/">told Toledo Free Press</a>. That’s the business, in a nutshell.”His first career ran deep beneath the ocean. Baldwin served as a submariner from 1979 to 1985, part of the Navy’s nuclear program. He described the pace as relentless and the learning curve steep, moving from nuclear power school to instructing on a prototype and then joining the submarine fleet. Patrols could last three to four months, he said, and the routine blurred time into a single, rolling stretch of days.After leaving the Navy, Baldwin spent two decades at the Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Station. But when his parents and in-laws needed help later in life, he ran into a problem many adult children recognize immediately: finding care that feels both reliable and personal.“God redirected my career path in a big way,” Baldwin said, describing the experience that led him to home care and, eventually, to Right at Home. He opened his franchise in 2010.Today, Baldwin focuses on matching caregivers with clients in a way that makes support feel welcome, not intrusive. Care can range from a couple of visits a week to full-time help, depending on where a family is in the aging process, he said.Baldwin also makes a point to ask new clients a direct question — whether they served — and to steer veterans and their families toward benefits they may not realize are available. For him, it is a continuation of a familiar mission: serve the people counting on you, and make sure no one has to figure it out alone.Read the original article&nbsp;<a href="https://toledofreepress.com/beneath-the-surface-the-veteran-behind-right-at-home/">here</a>.If you're interested in taking the next step in making a difference in your community as a Right at Home franchisee, visit&nbsp;<a href="https://rightathomefranchise.com/">https://rightathomefranchise.com/</a>.

Toledo Free Press: Beneath the Surface — The Veteran Behind Right at Home

john-baldwin-right-at-home-franchise-perrysburg

In Missouri’s St. Louis County,&nbsp;<a href="https://extranet.who.int/agefriendlyworld/network/st-louis-county/">nearly 500,000 residents</a> are age 45 and older, including about 200,000 who are 65 and older. It’s the type of statistic that highlights the growing demand for care services provided within the home. Founded in Omaha, Nebraska, in 1995,&nbsp;<a href="https://rightathomefranchise.com/">Right at Home</a> offers personal care and companionship for seniors and adults with disabilities, continually tweaking a model that’s increasingly in demand as Baby Boomers approach retirement.<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/ed-wilson-00274729/">Ed Wilson</a>, who spent nearly two decades in commercial real estate and finance, made the pivot to home care out of a desire to make a greater impact on people.&nbsp;“The most important factor was having a positive impact on individual lives,” Wilson&nbsp;<a href="https://www.mycnews.com/articles/featured-stories-saintcharlescounty/compassionate-care/">told Saint Charles County Community News</a>. “I came from a corporate finance background, which I enjoyed and where I built great relationships. But I felt something was missing. I always wanted to be a small business owner. And while I never thought I would go into home care, it checked many boxes for me, especially being relationship-driven.”Serving central St. Louis, St. Charles and South County since August 2025, Wilson employs a total of about 100 caregivers, nurses and office staff members. In-home personnel provide nonmedical care, assisting with daily activities such as meal prep, housekeeping and personal hygiene. Basic human necessities like companionship are also central to&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/rightathome/info">Right at Home’s</a> approach.“Our mission is to provide compassionate, personalized home care that enhances quality of life, promotes independence and brings peace of mind to families. We are dedicated to treating every client with dignity, respect and kindness,” Wilson said. “While our team members may come from different backgrounds with different specialties, they all have a strong focus on providing excellent in-home care using the unique skills they bring to the job.”The St. Louis franchise was recently&nbsp;<a href="https://awards.activatedinsights.com/agency/right-at-home-29/">recognized by Activated Insights</a> with the 2025 Best of Home Care® Leader in Experience, Provider of Choice and Employer of Choice awards, reflecting a franchise commitment to both clients and caregivers. Looking forward, Wilson hopes to expand services further across the St. Louis metro area and into the Department of Veterans Affairs space, delivering both service and growth with a simple long-term goal.“Our goal is to be the best-in-class home care agency in the St. Louis area,” he said.As demand for in-home care grows across the country, Wilson’s Right at Home franchise clearly shows just how local franchise ownership, when properly combined with national resources, can provide compassionate care at the local level.Read the original article&nbsp;<a href="https://www.mycnews.com/articles/featured-stories-saintcharlescounty/compassionate-care/">here</a>.If you're interested in taking the next step in making a difference in your community as a Right at Home franchisee, visit&nbsp;<a href="https://rightathomefranchise.com/">https://rightathomefranchise.com/</a>.ABOUT RIGHT AT HOME:Founded in 1995, Right at Home offers in-home care to seniors and adults with disabilities who want to live independently.

Right at Home Expanding In-Home Care Services in Eau Claire

OMAHA, Neb.&nbsp;—&nbsp;<a href="http://rightathomefranchise.com">Right at Home</a>, the industry-leading in-home care franchise with more than 750 locations across the United States and four other countries, closed 2025 with strong growth and major progress in system innovation.The company awarded 24 new territories during the year and completed about 22 resales, helping both new and existing franchisees expand their footprint. Nearly 30 new offices opened across the country, many tied to territories sold in 2024.“It’s been a really fantastic year,” said&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/jennychaney/">Jennifer Chaney</a>, Senior Vice President of Franchise Development and Sales. “Territory sales and resale activity have both been very consistent with years past. There haven’t been any curveballs or unforeseen circumstances that got us off track — it’s just been a solid, steady year for our system.”<h2>Strengthening Operations Through Technology</h2>A major milestone for the brand in 2025 was the launch of Zoho CRM across the franchise system — a multi-year project designed to help owners streamline operations and improve communication. The new platform now supports everything from client management to day-to-day scheduling.“Zoho was a very big win for us and a huge project,” Chaney said. “We're very delighted to see the project in motion.”&nbsp;Another highlight of 2025 was&nbsp;<a href="http://1851franchise.com/rightathome/info">Right at Home’s</a> new partnership with Encapture. Together, the two organizations launched a custom app designed to help franchise owners manage daily operations more efficiently.The idea came directly from the field. Through the Strategic Leadership Council, a group of franchise representatives who share systemwide feedback, owners repeatedly asked for a mobile tool that could simplify onboarding, training and document sharing.“Our franchise owners wanted an app they could use to access training materials, handle onboarding, and share documents from their phones,” Chaney said. “So we partnered with Encapture, and it’s been a huge win for everyone.”<h2>Where Growth Is Headed</h2>As Right at Home plans for the year ahead, its development team is turning its focus toward several key markets, including Ohio, Pennsylvania, Minnesota, Michigan, Wisconsin, Massachusetts, and Iowa. Each offers favorable licensing requirements and growing populations of seniors who need care, as the company looks to close in on more rural areas that have historically lacked enough senior care options. Right at Home wants to enter these markets to truly make a difference in the lives of the elderly in those communities.Technology will continue to play a central role in 2026. The brand’s innovation team is already exploring how to responsibly integrate artificial intelligence into operations to make franchise management even more efficient.“There are so many ways our franchise owners can use AI in their businesses, but what are the best ways? What are the most efficient ways?” Chaney said. “We have a fantastic team and a fantastic department that does all the research on what's best for our franchise owners to incorporate into their business.”<h2>Building on the Right Kind of Growth</h2>For 2026, Right at Home plans to award at least 24 new territories, consistent with its measured approach to expansion. Chaney says the goal isn’t just about numbers; it’s about finding the right people to carry the brand’s mission forward.“This is a very people-centered business,” she said. “You have to have a passion for people.”Chaney also emphasized that resale opportunities will remain a valuable entry point for prospective owners. These existing businesses come fully operational with staff, clients, and infrastructure already in place.“Buying a resale is like stepping into a plane that’s already in flight,” she said. “It’s a running business that’s ready to keep going under new leadership. For many buyers, that’s the best fit.”ABOUT RIGHT AT HOME:Founded in 1995, Right at Home offers in-home care to seniors and adults with disabilities who want to live independently.
