Right at Home

<p style=" background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-color: white; background-size: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial;">The only constant in the world of franchising is change, and the modern business world is no exception. From senior care to the brand-new world of U.S. marijuana franchising, the following are five segments that are heating up and only look to get hotter: <p style=" background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-color: white; background-size: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial;">Senior care One in 7 Americans qualifies as a senior citizen. Sound too high? Just wait. One in 5 Americans will be 65 or older by 2029, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. <p style=" background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-color: white; background-size: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial;">With longer lives comes a growing population of elderly Americans, as well as greater demand for senior care. It&#8217;s for this reason that businesses like Right at Home, a leading in-home elder care franchise, are thriving. <p style=" background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-color: white; background-size: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial;">You can&#8217;t fight Father Time, and as long as current aging trends stay on course, this segment will have a bright future. <p style=" background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-color: white; background-size: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial;">Customized food experiences If you were to boil down what modern consumers want into one word, it would be &#8220;choice.&#8221; That explains why franchises such as YourPie, Menchie&#8217;s and MOOYAH are grabbing customer attention. <p style=" background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-color: white; background-size: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial;">What do a pizza franchise, frozen yogurt chain and burger business have in common? They all offer consumers customized dishes. <p style=" background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-color: white; background-size: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial;">These franchises aren&#8217;t just impressing hungry consumers with tasty treats, they&#8217;re also tapping into the thirst today&#8217;s shoppers have for variety. People want options, and these businesses are tickling the psychological pleasure centers consumers have for choice. <p style=" background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-color: white; background-size: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial;">Fast-growing food brands While some franchises are excelling through choice, others are focusing on reach. <h3 style=" background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-color: white; background-size: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial;">Which Wich, Checkers, Beef &#8216;O&#8217; Brady&#8217;s &#8211; these brands and others are giving the old guard a run for their money when it comes to omnipresence. With each boasting 100 locations and counting, these are the names to watch in the world of franchising.</h3><div> Recession-friendly services While economic recovery in the U.S. continues slowly yet steadily, certain business models were able to withstand the financial downturn with aplomb. Case in point: Sport Clips.</div> <p style=" background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-color: white; background-size: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial;"> The chain of male-centric haircut salons offers consumers a service they require regardless of how the overall economy is performing. While many people may have cut down on eating out in years past, most weren&#8217;t rushing to replace their trips to the barber with a home haircut. <p style=" background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-color: white; background-size: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial;">And with more people finding extra cash in their wallets these days, franchises like Sport Clips will likely only see more growth. <p style=" background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-color: white; background-size: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial;">Unchartered territory Some franchises are going out on a limb in new business areas, and these trailblazers could see their willingness to try something different pay off big. <p style=" background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-color: white; background-size: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial;">The &#8220;blaze&#8221; in trailblazers is especially appropriate for Palm Beach Vapors, the Tulsa, Oklahoma-based electronic cigarette franchise. The brand is betting on a bright future for marijuana sales with more states looking to follow the examples set by Washington and Colorado when it comes to legalization. <p style=" background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-color: white; background-size: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial;">Even in states where recreational marijuana use remains a no-no, medical marijuana may be available. <p style=" background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-color: white; background-size: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial;">By getting in on the ground floor with a cannabis oil product that can be incorporated into common e-cigs, Palm Beach Vapors has a business opportunity that isn&#8217;t likely to go up in smoke any time soon.

Right at Home Targets Madison and Nearby Rural Communities for In-Home Care Growth

Backed by a 750-plus-unit system and momentum from 2025, the in-home care franchisor is focusing on smaller markets where seniors need reliable support close to home.

Buying a resale franchise within the&nbsp;<a href="https://rightathomefranchise.com/">Right at Home</a> system can offer a practical way to enter the in-home care industry. Instead of launching a new office from the ground up, resale buyers step into an established location that already has caregivers, clients and day-to-day processes in place. That structure allows new owners to focus on learning the business and building relationships while continuing to serve the community.From the brand’s perspective, resale opportunities are designed to give new owners a head start while preserving what has already been built.“It’s a way for entrepreneurs to purchase something that is already well established,” said Angela Young, Director of Resales for&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/rightathome/info">Right at Home</a>. “They can benefit from the relationships with clients, caregivers and referral partners that are already in place and step in to take the business to new heights.”Resale opportunities can be especially appealing to entrepreneurs who want to grow an existing operation rather than start from scratch.&nbsp;<a href="http://linkedin.com/in/erica-celeste-carlisle">Erica Carlisle</a> took that path when she purchased a Right at Home resale location in the San Francisco Bay Area.“I was planning to acquire an existing business. I wasn’t looking to do a startup,” Carlisle said. “It seemed like a better fit with my background, skills and experience, which have been more along the lines of building companies and scaling them up.”<h2>An Existing Client Base and Team</h2>Buying a resale location also means stepping into a business that already has staff in place and clients who are actively receiving care. That can make the transition smoother for families and give the new owner a better sense of how the operation runs day to day.In the early weeks after taking over the business, franchisees can focus on getting to know the people connected to the office.“It’s a completely different thing than trying to start up from scratch,” Carlisle said. “Your days are filled with trying to get to know the caregivers, get to know the clients and their families and the existing office team.”Spending time with clients and caregivers helped her quickly learn the rhythm of the business while maintaining relationships already established within the community. That continuity also extends beyond daily operations.“They’ve already set up processes in the office and built strong teams,” Young said. “It’s very advantageous to retain that staff and step into a business where people are already doing the job.”<h2>A Smooth Transition Between Owners</h2>The transition often includes a brief period where the previous owner works alongside the new franchisee. That time allows the new owner to learn the systems and routines that keep the business running day to day.“For the first few weeks, the seller and I worked side by side so he could teach me critical things like how to run payroll and the processes that need to keep going with no errors,” Carlisle said.That hands-on transition helped her understand the day-to-day responsibilities involved in operating the office. The transition is also supported at the system level to help ensure stability for both clients and staff.“The owners have put a lot of time and effort into this, and they really care about their clients and the people who work in their communities,” Young said.&nbsp;<h2>Established Processes Help Owners Learn Faster</h2>A resale franchise also comes with systems that are already functioning. Recruiting, scheduling, payroll and billing processes are typically in place before the new owner arrives.&nbsp;The office team already understands those workflows, which can make the learning process easier for a new franchisee.“Most of the core processes the team knew how to do,” Carlisle said. “You have to rely on the team for a while to say ‘OK, you're going to do it to that point, and then I'm going to do this piece.’”That collaboration allowed her to gradually learn each step involved in hiring caregivers, managing schedules and handling administrative responsibilities.<h2>Training, Coaching and a Strong Franchise Network</h2>Even though resale buyers are stepping into an existing business, they still receive the same support offered to new franchisees across the Right at Home system. That support includes formal training, coaching and ongoing guidance from the franchisor.New owners attend a week-long training program at the company’s headquarters in Omaha. Franchisees also work with a coach who meets with them frequently in the early stages of ownership. Even for resale buyers, the onboarding process mirrors what new franchisees experience across the system.“If you’re new to the system, you still go through our Right Start training and learn the fundamentals of home care,” Young said. “You also have coaches and subject matter experts supporting you in everything from operations to marketing.”In addition to coaching, franchisees have access to topic-specific calls, marketing guidance and a network of fellow owners who can share insights and advice.&nbsp;“Other owners are super helpful,” she said. “People in the corporate headquarters in Omaha have been really supportive and full of expertise and information that has helped.”These resale opportunities give prospective franchisees the chance to acquire an established business while benefiting from the brand's training and support. For many buyers, that combination creates a more stable path into ownership. Once they're ready to sell, Right at Home supports them through that transition as well, helping ensure a smooth handoff to the next owner.“We support our franchisees all the way through their journey,” Young said. “We want the selling of their business to be that grand finale of this very fruitful journey they've had with Right at Home.”&nbsp;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>&nbsp;

Right at Home Targets Springfield, Westfield and Nearby Rural Communities for In-Home Care Growth

right-at-home-targets-springfield-westfield-and-nearby-rural-communities-for-in-home-care-growth

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. Most Right at Home offices are independently owned and operated and directly employ and supervise all caregiving staff. Each caregiver is thoroughly screened, trained, and bonded/insured before entering a client’s home.

In many rural communities, families face longer drive times, limited provider choice, and fewer resources to help loved ones age in place.&nbsp;<a href="http://1851franchise.com/rightathome/info">Right at Home’s</a> model is designed to help franchisees bring consistent, professional care closer to where people live while creating a resilient local business rooted in the community.“We see real opportunity in Clermont County.

The company awarded 24 new territories in 2025 and completed 22 resales, with nearly 30 new offices opening across the country, many tied to territories sold in 2024. “It’s been a really fantastic year,” Chaney said. “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.”Clermont County presents a strong opportunity for in-home care services, with an aging population of 65-plus of 40,471 and&nbsp;a strain on existing senior care services across the area.Right at Home strengthened its franchisee tool kit in 2025 with major technology rollouts, including a systemwide Zoho CRM launch to support functions from client management to day-to-day scheduling, and a new Encapture partnership that produced a custom app to make daily operations easier by streamlining onboarding, training and document sharing. The brand also expanded family-facing support through RightAssist, a discreet monitoring bracelet and mobile app, and deeper involvement in Medicare’s GUIDE (Guiding an Improved Dementia Experience) program to better serve families caring for loved ones with dementia.The company’s reputation for quality continues to be recognized across the franchise industry.
