Now, the brand has launched the <a href="https://rightathomefranchise.com/sellyourinhomecarebusiness/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=how-right-at-homes-acquisition-program-helps-independent-senior-care-business-owners-retire-comfortably-2715873" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Right at Home Acquisition Program</a> to help independent in-home care and assistance business owners gracefully bow out of their business while ensuring their clients are in good hands.According to <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/susie-dunn-0ab2b18/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=how-right-at-homes-acquisition-program-helps-independent-senior-care-business-owners-retire-comfortably-2715873" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Susie Dunn</a>, corporate acquisitions director at Right at Home, the brand has taken steps to make the process as easy as possible.“Every independent business owner who wants to sell to <a href="https://1851franchise.com/rightathome">Right at Home</a> will work closely with a dedicated project manager who will guide them through the process step by step,” said Dunn. “We have done this many times, so we are very familiar with the process. We know how to best transition a business while making sure the clients continue to receive the outstanding care Right at Home strives to deliver.”Independent in-home care and assistance business owners can sell to Right at Home, a cash buyer with tons of industry experience. The brand can quickly look at a balance sheet and derive a fair market value for a sale.“We offer a really nice exit strategy for business owners,” said Dunn. “The beauty of having Right at Home acquire your business is that we are a financially backed and approved cash buyer. We can do cash deals quickly and confidentially, in as little as two to four months. Sellers will quickly realize that Right at Home has a strong brand and the business will be left in great hands. We have more than 600 locations all over the world, 25 years of experience, and caregiver community resources to facilitate a smooth and quick sales process.”<h4>What Businesses Right at Home Might Acquire</h4>“We are looking for primarily private duty or private pay agencies,” said <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/jon-searles-659a8b38/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=how-right-at-homes-acquisition-program-helps-independent-senior-care-business-owners-retire-comfortably-2715873" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Jon Searles</a>, the brand’s VP of Corporate-Owned Operations. “Ideally, we’d like to see little to no government or third-party payers in a business we are looking to acquire, but we will still consider businesses like this if there is private pay potential in the markets being served. Since Right at Home’s core services focus on personal and companion care, we are not interested in home care agencies that are CMS-certified offering primarily home health or skilled nursing services. The businesses we acquire need to be independently owned and non-franchised with annual revenue that would meet or exceed $1.5 million.”<h4>How Right at Home Ensures Clients Come First During Acquisitions</h4>In-home care and assistance to seniors and adults with disabilities is a labor of love, and nobody understands that more than Right at Home. That is why the brand makes it clear to every prospective acquisition that their care staff can remain in place and get career-track jobs, and that the needs of the clients receiving care come first.“As the owner of a home care company, especially the private ones, you kind of fall in love with the business,” said Searles. “You are leaving clients and care staff and want to leave them in the best hands, so you look for the right partner to continue the mission of caring for the elderly. This is a meticulous process that we make easier by our approach. Our philosophy and culture is to put our clients first. Additionally, Right at Home will be able to offer even more services with our large franchisor network.”As for the caregivers, they are taken care of as well.“This is a soft-skills business,” said Dunn. “It’s all about communication and the one-on-one relationships you have with clients and your care staff, so we don’t go into a business and make any big changes. We try to retain existing office staff as well as keep the same care staff, so the same caregiver who visited last Tuesday will come again this Tuesday. Our goal is to bring in just office and leadership staff so there is less disruption to the lives of seniors. Continuity of care is a top priority for Right at Home.”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. Right at Home’s global office is based in Omaha, Nebraska, with more than 600 franchise locations in the U.S. and seven other countries.

READY TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE?

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.

Navy veteran&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/rightathomeperrysburg/">John Baldwin</a> has traded the tight confines of nuclear submarines for a different kind of high-stakes environment: families trying to keep aging loved ones safe at home.Baldwin, 64, owns a&nbsp;<a href="https://rightathomefranchise.com/">Right at Home</a> franchise in&nbsp;<a href="https://www.rightathome.net/perrysburg">Perrysburg, Ohio</a>, providing in-home support for seniors who want to stay where they are most comfortable. “We do in-home care and assistance for the elderly to help them age in place,” Baldwin&nbsp;<a href="https://toledofreepress.com/beneath-the-surface-the-veteran-behind-right-at-home/">told Toledo Free Press</a>. That’s the business, in a nutshell.”His first career ran deep beneath the ocean. Baldwin served as a submariner from 1979 to 1985, part of the Navy’s nuclear program. He described the pace as relentless and the learning curve steep, moving from nuclear power school to instructing on a prototype and then joining the submarine fleet. Patrols could last three to four months, he said, and the routine blurred time into a single, rolling stretch of days.After leaving the Navy, Baldwin spent two decades at the Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Station. But when his parents and in-laws needed help later in life, he ran into a problem many adult children recognize immediately: finding care that feels both reliable and personal.“God redirected my career path in a big way,” Baldwin said, describing the experience that led him to home care and, eventually, to Right at Home. He opened his franchise in 2010.Today, Baldwin focuses on matching caregivers with clients in a way that makes support feel welcome, not intrusive. Care can range from a couple of visits a week to full-time help, depending on where a family is in the aging process, he said.Baldwin also makes a point to ask new clients a direct question — whether they served — and to steer veterans and their families toward benefits they may not realize are available. For him, it is a continuation of a familiar mission: serve the people counting on you, and make sure no one has to figure it out alone.Read the original article&nbsp;<a href="https://toledofreepress.com/beneath-the-surface-the-veteran-behind-right-at-home/">here</a>.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>.
