Leading In-home Care Franchise Set to Meet 2015 Projections to Add 45 Franchised Territories

Right at Home*, a leading international in-home care franchise, has succeeded in continuing 2014’s momentum of success and growth, building on the foundation established during the past three years. With 165 new territories opened over the past three years, Right at Home is on track to add at least another 45 franchises in 2015.

In Forbes’ second annual list of the best franchises in America, Right at Home recently was named as one of the Top Franchises to Buy in 2015. Ranked as the third best franchise to invest in across all industries for less than $150,000, Right At Home has made the list for the second year in a row and is the top-rated senior care company on the list.

With more than 410 locations open in the United States and the company’s presence in eight countries, Right at Home’s Chief Development Officer Eric Little is excited to celebrate the success of the past while keeping an eye to the future as the company executes on its strategic plan.

"Right at Home is a remarkable concept that is helping people to age with dignity within the comfortable surroundings of their own home," Little said. "Our company places a strong emphasis on culture, and we are proud to have served so many families around the world.”

With the help of its owners across 45 states in the U.S., Right at Home is marching toward another benchmark year. Currently clocking in at 410 operating locations and another 15 in the opening process, growth has been rapid in the number of franchises. Growth in franchisee revenues has also been booming as Right at Home’s franchisees continue to expand their businesses in response to significant demand for in-home care services in their communities.

The company reports that nearly 114 franchisees currently own more than one Right at Home territory, further validating Right at Home's business model that has been fine tuned since the company began franchising 15 years ago. Forty-three of these franchises have been awarded in the past two years to existing franchisees who were already part of the Right at Home system and looking to grow their businesses.

The franchisee network has grown at a crucial turning point for Right at Home, as well. As the Success with Significance® initiative has become a central focus in Right at Home’s philanthropic philosophy, the brand has been proud to welcome franchisees that fully embody the principles of this mission.

The Success with Significance initiative seeks out franchisees that not only want personal success, but also enrichment of their communities. Right at Home’s franchise development team has focused on recruiting individuals who seek to satisfy their entrepreneurial spirit while fulfilling Right at Home’s pursuit to create independence for seniors and the disabled.

While the company’s consistent progression has been encouraging, projections for customer growth and demand for in-home care services are even more reassuring. As the average number of people turning 65 each day hovers around 10,000, the demand for in-home care has continued to grow. Dual-income families and shrinking family size have also necessitated the use of in-home care professionals to aid aging parents. Right at Home’s passion for community betterment and senior citizen support will help provide care for this growing customer base.

With a comparatively low initial and ongoing investment for franchisees and unprecedented growth in the senior care market, Right at Home is poised for continued growth. By embracing innovation and a collaborative spirit, Right at Home plans to continue expanding its 410-strong franchise network, increasing the average franchisee revenues, and continuing to make a difference in senior citizens’ lives.
