Right at Home has been in the in-home care and assistance industry since 1995 and has built a<a href="https://1851franchise.com/rightathome/right-at-home-franchises-recognized-with-caringcoms-caring-stars-of-2021-award-2714457#franchisor"> stellar brand and reputation</a>, but what separates this franchisor from others in the space is its scale and strategic plans with a focus on the long-term.One great example of how strategic growth makes life easier for franchisees comes from the strategic partnerships the brand has formed, according to Zuger.“When we talk about strategic growth, from my perspective, it has always involved the partnerships we’ve developed over time,” said Zuger. “We have a lot of national strategic partnerships that have been the catalyst on how we've continued to grow big time, scale the system and create a broad value proposition.”<h4>How Right at Home’s Partnerships Create Additional Revenue Streams</h4>That national reach and scope comes with the power of a big franchisor like Right at Home, and to the franchisee, it means more revenue streams through partnerships with big brands.“We have seen great success with the partnerships we have established with home health organizations,” said Zuger. “We have national preferred partnerships with the three largest home health organizations in the United States.: Kindred, Encompass and Amedisys. We also have several home health partnerships on a local level that engage with our franchisees as well.”Zuger has examined virtually every conceivable avenue to grow the brand, which now boasts a completely comprehensive suite of partnerships that keep the brand expanding and referring new services.“We built a program called Right at Home Transportation that’s powered by either Uber or Lyft to assist with the transportation void we were seeing in many cases,” said Zuger. “We also launched a new service just last year that reviews clients’ homes to&nbsp;ensure there are no trip hazards, fall risks, mold in the basement, leaky faucets, and so much more.&nbsp; Because we are a large, global system we are able to offer these services to our clients and their families at lower than normal rates.”Right at Home’s wide range of partnerships in the technology space make it a comprehensive service that can provide for seniors in their own homes 24/7. The result is preventing vulnerable seniors from ending up in the hospital and keeping them safe at home.“We can use technology not just to save a senior if tragedy strikes, but actually to try to prevent the tragedy,” said Zuger. “With things like sensors, monitors, cameras, wearables or purse units, we’re able to predict when care will be needed. Even short of tragedy, we can use technology to keep seniors engaged and avoid feeling isolated, something that was a big challenge during the pandemic. We’re using technology to provide better mental health care, which is a big deal.”<h4>What Right at Home’s Partnerships Mean For Franchisees</h4>Franchising with Right at Home promises something independent home care businesses can’t: stability. With so many opportunities and such rapid growth in the space, it’s no wonder Right at Home has become a solid investment valued by so many entrepreneurs.“Not only have we weathered the storm through the pandemic and supported our franchisees through thick and thin, it gave us the opportunity to improve our franchisee support,” said Zuger. “I think that that is really important to note. Everybody knows about the opportunity within the senior space, but what people often don't acknowledge is the blood, sweat and tears it takes to really build this business. Right at Home has put in that hard work, and now being the second largest in the world frankly means we’re positioned to continue to grow and scale while our owners continue to thrive.”

Right at Home Targets Providence, Warwick and Nearby Communities for In-Home Care Growth

right-at-home-targets-providence-warwick-and-nearby-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.

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

When&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/sacha-butts-9aa288361/">Sacha Butts</a> began looking into the senior care industry, the search became deeply personal. The U.S. Navy veteran and former federal investigator was forced to navigate a confusing web of care options following her mother’s unexpected cancer diagnosis.&nbsp;<a href="https://valley.labusinessjournal.com/healthcare/veteran-brings-right-at-home-to-simi-valley/">According to the LA Business Journal</a>, that difficult journey through a fragmented system ultimately inspired Butts to launch her own&nbsp;<a href="https://rightathomefranchise.com/">Right at Home</a> franchise in&nbsp;<a href="https://www.rightathome.net/simi-valley">Simi Valley</a> this past September.The experience of balancing a high-pressure career with the urgent needs of an ailing parent taught Butts that the right support does more than just help the patient. She quickly found that proper professional care allowed her to step back from the role of primary caregiver to simply be a daughter again. Now, she’s bringing that same relief to Simi Valley, Moorpark, Camarillo and Somis.The timing of the new business meets a critical need in the region. Data from the California Department of Aging shows that the population of&nbsp;<a href="https://vccf.org/ventura-county-aging-boom-will-intensify-experts-predict/#:~:text=The%20data%20that%20tumbled%20out,and%20virtually%20all%20other%20services.">Ventura County residents aged 60 and older</a> is expected to hit 240,000 by 2040. Currently, residents 65 and older already make up 30% of the county’s population, and many of these seniors expressed a clear preference for aging in place (rather than moving to institutional facilities).Butts spent nearly a year preparing for the launch, using the same attention to detail she honed as a federal investigator to navigate complex licensing and regulatory requirements. She spent hours researching the differences between non-medical in-home care and medical home health care to ensure she could guide families through their own moments of crisis."It was a very long, tedious process to get my license and get everything set up,” Butts told the L.A. Business Journal of her path to&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/rightathome/info">Right at Home</a> ownership. “It’s been an interesting learning experience – this is my first time owning my own business."Her background in the Navy and as an investigator now informs how she goes about hiring. She applies a high level of scrutiny to her team, looking for the specific blend of professionalism and compassion that made such a difference for her own mother.By joining&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/rightathome">Right at Home</a>, Butts is tapping into a brand with more than 750 locations globally. Her goal is to move beyond the paperwork and logistics to provide a human connection for those in her community. By offering reliable support for daily tasks like cooking and cleaning, she’s giving local families the gift of time, comfort and peace of mind.Read the full article <a href="https://valley.labusinessjournal.com/healthcare/veteran-brings-right-at-home-to-simi-valley/">here</a>.
