After spending 20 years successfully growing and managing multiple franchises,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/brad-cannon-17030086/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=brad-cannon-returns-to-home-care-with-right-at-home-franchise-2726563" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Brad Cannon&nbsp;</a>has returned to the home care industry with a new venture:&nbsp;<a href="https://rightathomefranchise.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=brad-cannon-returns-to-home-care-with-right-at-home-franchise-2726563" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Right at Home*</a>. With extensive experience as a licensed nursing home administrator and years spent franchising with another home care brand, Cannon brings a wealth of knowledge and a passion for serving seniors.&nbsp;His journey into franchising began with a dream of owning a business and recognizing the value of strong teams in nursing homes. This blend of expertise and dedication now fuels his latest endeavor, marking a significant return to the health care space after a two-year hiatus. Cannon chose to franchise with&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/rightathome/info">Right at Home</a> due to its strong culture, leadership, and people-focused approach. Having witnessed the company's commitment to quality care and its alignment with his personal values, Cannon is excited to join a brand that prioritizes its employees and clients.&nbsp;Looking ahead, Cannon envisions building a large multi-unit organization with Right at Home, leveraging past successes and a proven ability to execute plans effectively. With a focus on assembling dedicated teams and maintaining high ethical standards, his goal is to grow a sustainable business that provides exceptional care to seniors.&nbsp;1851 Franchise spoke with Cannon about his franchising journey and his plans for the future.&nbsp;1851 Franchise: Frame your personal story for us.&nbsp;What did you do before franchising, and how did you decide franchising made sense for you?Brad Cannon: I graduated from college with degrees in psychology and health care administration. Right out of college, I became a licensed nursing home administrator and practiced in Kentucky, Tennessee and Florida. I always dreamed of owning my own business and saw the value of the teams we created in nursing homes, both in terms of impact on seniors and financial success. I thought, “If I can build teams and do this for others, I can do it for myself.” So, I researched different concepts and got into franchising in 2002 with a different brand. I spent 20 years as a franchisee within that network, growing it to seven franchises across three states with about 500 employees. After selling that business on May 31, 2022, I took two years off and decided to reenter the home care space, continuing my nearly 30-year journey of serving seniors.1851: What was your perception of franchising prior to becoming a franchisee, and what do you want people to know about franchising now that you are in it?Cannon: My perception of franchising was limited, but I saw its value in having a proven plan, especially when aligned with the right franchisor. There are different types of entrepreneurs, and I consider myself good at execution but not as strong at creating the plan. Franchising offers a proven plan, and success comes down to how well you can execute that plan.1851:&nbsp;What made you pick this brand? What excites you most about this company?Cannon:&nbsp;Right at Home was a worthy competitor of mine for years, and I knew some people in leadership positions there, which told me their culture was good. After my two-year hiatus, I explored getting back into health care and found that Right at Home's culture, leadership and approach aligned with what I wanted. Their culture is about people and syncs well with my values.1851:&nbsp;What do you hope to achieve with your business? What are your plans for growth?&nbsp;Cannon:&nbsp;The goal is to grow a large multi-unit organization, just like I did with my previous company. With a wonderful CEO and experienced teams, we aim to build a multi-unit organization with strong systems and good people. We want to grow a business that is not built on a house of cards, being above reproach in every aspect. Growth will depend on how quickly and effectively we can achieve these goals.1851:&nbsp;What is the one thing about your story you want us to know?Cannon:&nbsp;My faith is very important to me, and while business is significant, it is secondary. My faith drives me, and I approach this business as a way to serve people, especially seniors and their families during tough times.1851:&nbsp;What advice do you have for other people thinking about becoming a franchise owner?Cannon: Do your due diligence. Evaluate not just the business model but also the franchisor you are partnering with. All franchise models and cultures are not equal. It's crucial to assess the group of people you'll be working with, as you are committing to a long-term partnership.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. Most Right at Home offices are independently owned and operated and directly employ and supervise all caregiving staff.
