Right at Home

For many veterans, transitioning to civilian life presents unique challenges, especially when it comes to finding a fulfilling career path. However, franchising with&nbsp;<a href="https://rightathomefranchise.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=how-right-at-home-veteran-franchisees-have-found-success-2727860" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Right at Home</a> has provided a meaningful and rewarding way for many veterans to serve their communities while achieving professional success. Through owning their franchise, veterans can leverage their skills and values to make a real difference in the lives of others while also benefiting from a supportive network that shares their commitment to service.<a href="https://1851franchise.com/rightathome/info">Right at Home</a> actively supports veteran franchisees, offering a 25% discount on the franchise fee to make the opportunity more accessible for those who have served. This commitment to veterans extends beyond financial incentives; the brand was recently recognized as one of Entrepreneur’s Top 24 Franchises for Veterans and has been consistently listed on Franchise Business Review’s Top Franchises for Veterans since 2020. These accolades reflect Right at Home’s dedication to providing veterans with career paths that honor their service, alongside the resources they need to succeed.<h3>Empowering Veterans Through Training and Support</h3><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/mikesteiner/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=how-right-at-home-veteran-franchisees-have-found-success-2727860" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Mike Steiner</a>, a former Navy service member and Motorola executive, leverages his military background in his&nbsp;<a href="https://www.rightathome.net/northern-lake-county/about-us?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=how-right-at-home-veteran-franchisees-have-found-success-2727860" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Right at Home franchise</a> in Grayslake, IL. Steiner regularly engages with local veterans' groups like the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.veteransbenefitsillinois.org/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=how-right-at-home-veteran-franchisees-have-found-success-2727860" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Veterans Assistance Commission</a> to provide insights on navigating benefits and long-term care policies. Recently, he trained the commission’s team in the "Dementia Live" program, showcasing his commitment to empowering veterans and their families.&nbsp;For many veterans, the skills honed in the military translate seamlessly into the skills necessary for successful franchise ownership. “The attention to detail, following through on your commitments, holding yourself and others accountable — discipline is just tremendous,” Steiner said. “And having a bond with other veterans and other veteran organizations is really valuable. I’m currently the only veteran-owned franchise in my county, and I love sharing that.”<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/ted-pease/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=how-right-at-home-veteran-franchisees-have-found-success-2727860" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Ted Pease</a>, a Navy veteran and&nbsp;<a href="https://www.rightathome.net/delaware-pennsylvania/about-us/our-people?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=how-right-at-home-veteran-franchisees-have-found-success-2727860" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Right at Home franchisee</a> in Pennsylvania, is another example of a veteran who has found success with the franchise. Now in the Navy Reserves supporting the Military Sealift Command as a lieutenant commander, Pease started his career with the military as an active duty surface warfare officer. He began attending night school towards the end of his nine years of active duty service to earn his MBA. He then transitioned to the military reserves and worked in insurance before exploring business ownership. As a franchise owner, Right at Home has allowed him to continue to find fulfillment through serving his community.“Service is a big part of my life,” Pease said. “When I began thinking about entrepreneurship, I knew I wanted to find something that would allow me to continue serving in a way that would make a meaningful difference in my community. I found the home care industry, and when I really started diving into Right at Home, I learned the level of support they offered was second to none in the industry. It was the right time and place, and I was able to come back and help the very community I grew up in.”<h3>A Network of Support Among Veteran Franchisees</h3>The Right at Home franchise network includes veteran franchisees who collaborate, share ideas, and offer each other support. In an environment that fosters a strong sense of camaraderie, veteran franchisees can find mentorship and encouragement from others who share similar experiences and values. This shared bond ensures that everyone has the support needed to navigate the challenges of franchise ownership and find success.“There are several veterans that are part of the system, and we all work together,” said Steiner. “Right at Home’s corporate team is also actively involved with&nbsp;<a href="https://www.va.gov/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=how-right-at-home-veteran-franchisees-have-found-success-2727860" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Veterans Affairs</a>, which has made a big difference.”&nbsp;Steiner’s commitment to his fellow veterans extends beyond his business. He recently volunteered as a guardian on the Lake County Honor Flight, a local chapter of the national&nbsp;<a href="https://www.honorflight.org/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=how-right-at-home-veteran-franchisees-have-found-success-2727860" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Honor Flight network</a>.&nbsp;“It’s an organization that flies veterans to Washington, D.C., for three days,” Steiner said. “The one I [attended] went on for three days, and there were 15 veterans and 15 guardians. The guy I supported just turned 99 — he’s a World War II veteran. It was such an honor to be with him. Everywhere we went, the welcoming for the veterans was amazing. It was unbelievable to see the gratitude from everyone and how emotional it was for the veterans, especially for the Vietnam vets who didn’t get that kind of welcome when they returned.”<h3>Supporting Veterans in Accessing Benefits</h3>Right at Home franchisees also support veterans by making sure they can access all the benefits offered to them. For example, Pease has taken the initiative to learn from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), gaining valuable knowledge to guide veterans through the process of securing home care benefits.“Once I figured out all the ways we could care for veterans, I really dove into that. I went and talked with the VA eligibility office for a few hours and learned the ins and outs of eligibility for VA home care benefits,” Pease said. “Now, anyone can call me, and I have the information I need to help them figure out how to get their discharge documents, apply and navigate the system. Our team may not ever provide a single hour of in-home care for them through the VA, but the business aspect of it isn’t my only priority. They’ve earned these benefits, and I want to make sure they have an opportunity to use them. There’s nothing nicer than being able to help veterans and their families in times of need.”<h3>Advice for Veterans Interested in Franchising</h3>Steiner encourages veterans to consider franchising, especially with a veteran-friendly brand like Right at Home. “Just do it. If you’re thinking about franchising, reach out to other veterans in the system,” he said. “Learning from their experiences will help you prepare and understand what to expect.”&nbsp;By prioritizing veteran success, Right at Home not only strengthens its franchise network but also offers veterans a chance to continue making a positive impact on their communities, one family at a time. For those veterans seeking a new path that combines purpose with profitability, Right at Home stands out as a truly supportive and impactful option.
