Right at Home was founded in 1995 by Allen Hager in Omaha, Nebraska. Unlike any other home care franchisor, Allen's background was in hospital administration. He witnessed older patients check out of the hospital, struggle with the recovery process while at home, and then be readmitted to the hospital. Seeing the need, he created a way to provide ongoing assistance for clients who are aging or have disabilities in the comfort of their homes. After spending five years fine-tuning the business model, the Right at Home franchise was born!
Right at Home was founded by Allen Hager. Allen worked in health care as a hospital administrator and watched many of his patients, especially seniors, leave the hospital and return to their homes without necessarily returning to health. Many of his former patients weren’t able to care for themselves once home, so they often ended up back in the hospital. He knew that if they had had access to home care—a service few companies were offering—they could have led happier lives in the comfort of their own homes.
