<div style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">In 1998, Dave Eustis was seriously injured and unable to care for himself. With in-home care not an option at the time, Eustis&#39; family members, wife and church members were working round the clock to make sure he was comfortable.</div>

<div style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">&nbsp;</div>

<div style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">Twenty years later, Eustis is opening <a href="http://www.rightathomefranchise.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=belleville-news-democrat-right-at-home-franchisee-opens-20-years-after-serious-injury-left-him-needing-in-home-care-6361" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><span class="brand-highlight">Right at Home*</span></a>, an in-home care franchise, to make sure his fellow community members don&#39;t go through the same trouble he did.</div>

<div style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">&nbsp;</div>

<div style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">&quot;I went from fully functioning to not being able to do anything for myself. Usually it&#39;s a different pattern, an end-of-life situation where capacity is gradually tapering down. I went from doing anything I wanted to not able to get myself a glass of water. So that&#39;s extreme,&quot; Eustis told the Belleville News Democrat reporter.</div>

<div style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">&nbsp;</div>

<div style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">Recently, studies have shown that it is cheaper to put elderly members in their home with in-home care instead of putting them in the overall medical system.&nbsp;</div>

<div style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">&nbsp;</div>

<div style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">&quot;I can see exactly what I needed at the time and being told at rehab that there was nobody to take care of me. That&#39;s why we got on the phone to my parents and said, &#39;Don&#39;t know what you&#39;re doing this summer, but you&#39;re coming home to take care of me.&#39; And we leaned on church to take care of things and find people for ridees and all the other things. And the greater community of Waterloo came to my aid,&quot; Eustis told the reporter. &quot;The Right at Home template is time-proven and if we follow that, I think we&#39;ll do very well here.&quot;</div>
