Right at Home

<a href="https://rightathomefranchise.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=more-new-franchisees-are-riding-the-silver-tsunami-with-right-at-home-2717266" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Right at Home</a>, the leading in-home senior care franchise, is looking to further expand its footprint in the growing senior care market. With 26 years of experience and more than 650 locations worldwide,<a href="https://1851franchise.com/rightathome"> Right at Home</a> is one of the best investments for prospective franchisees in a booming industry that is only projected to grow more in the coming years.Thousands of Americans are crossing the 65-year-old threshold every day, a phenomenon coined the “silver tsunami.” For the next few decades, millions of elderly people will be seeking alternative ways to age at home where they can maintain their independence, dignity and overall well-being for as long as possible.Throughout some of the most challenging years in history amid the pandemic, Right at Home continued to attract new franchise owners and increase its overall system revenue year over year, proving that the brand is indeed an industry leader in an essential market.<h4>Why Right at Home? Why Now?</h4>The nation’s population is aging rapidly. By 2050, <a href="https://www.usnews.com/news/best-states/articles/2019-09-30/aging-in-america-in-5-charts?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=more-new-franchisees-are-riding-the-silver-tsunami-with-right-at-home-2717266" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">one out of every six Americans</a> will be age 65 or older, outnumbering children for the first time in the nation’s history. Not only is the population aging, but the way people are choosing to age also is changing.According to AARP, <a href="https://www.aarp.org/retirement/planning-for-retirement/info-2018/retirees-age-in-place-aarp-study.html?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=more-new-franchisees-are-riding-the-silver-tsunami-with-right-at-home-2717266" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">77% of adults</a> over the age of 50 want to age and stay in their communities as long as possible. This shift toward aging in place, and away from nursing homes and assisted living facilities, points to the increased need for in-home care services. Aging at home, in a familiar and comfortable environment, can also have many social, psychological and financial benefits for seniors.“On top of the growing trend to age in place, the past 18 months have exposed just how vulnerable the elderly population is in nursing homes and assisted living facilities,” said<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/jennychaney?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=more-new-franchisees-are-riding-the-silver-tsunami-with-right-at-home-2717266" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"> Jen Chaney</a>, Right at Home’s vice president of franchise development. “There is a huge demand for high-quality and professional care from the comfort of home.”Right at Home has been building on this trend for over 25 years, establishing hundreds of locations worldwide, providing seniors and adults with disabilities the opportunity to live independently. With growing brand recognition and an experienced system, Right at Home is perfectly positioned to continue leading what is expected to be a<a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/senior-care-market-trends?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=more-new-franchisees-are-riding-the-silver-tsunami-with-right-at-home-2717266" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"> $225 billion market by 2024</a>.<h4>How Much Does a Right at Home Franchise Cost?</h4>The total initial investment for a Right at Home franchise ranges from $82,000 to $150,800, as disclosed in Right at Home’s 2021 Franchise Disclosure Document, which outlines the franchise system’s costs and performance. This initial investment includes a franchise fee of $49,500. The investment covers costs such as real estate, furniture, technology, equipment, training, marketing and signage. There is also a 5% quarterly royalty fee, a 1%–2% local advertising fee, and a 2% brand marketing and promotion fee due on an ongoing basis.Most Right at Home prospective franchisees have previous management experience, and all must have at least $150,000 in liquid assets available to invest into the business. The brand also advises potential franchisees to have enough savings or other income to cover living expenses during the startup phase of the business.&nbsp;<h4>How Much Can You Make as a Right at Home Franchisee?</h4>Perhaps just as important as the cost to open a franchise is the anticipated return on investment. Forty-two percent of all Right at Home franchises exceeded $1 million in net revenue in 2020. The average among all Right at Home franchise locations was just over $1.2 million in net revenue, and for those open for five years or more, it was $1,392,121.*More important for prospective franchisees, though, are the numbers for newer Right at Home franchise owners. For those open for one year or more, the average revenue was $1,277,354.93. Thirty-six percent of this group met or exceeded this average.“2020 really showed just how solid and resilient the Right at Home business model is,” said Chaney. “Our franchisees, both new and old, continued to grow throughout the year, and we opened 17 new locations to expand our system of care even further.”Right at Home is ready to partner with entrepreneurs and experienced professionals who are looking to make a difference in their communities and apply their skills in a meaningful way.For information on Right at Home, visit<a href="http://www.rightathomefranchise.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=more-new-franchisees-are-riding-the-silver-tsunami-with-right-at-home-2717266" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"> </a><a href="http://www.rightathomefranchise.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=more-new-franchisees-are-riding-the-silver-tsunami-with-right-at-home-2717266" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">www.rightathomefranchise.com</a>.*For more information about how much franchisees can make, please see the Item 19 in the 2021 Franchise Disclosure Document.

READY TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE?

SPRINGFIELD, MA&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, is targeting Springfield for its next phase of strategic growth, with a focus on smaller communities and nearby rural areas where families often have fewer local care options. The brand plans to open at least one new unit across Springfield, Westfield and surrounding communities to meet the growing demand for in-home support for seniors and adults with disabilities who want to remain at home.For local entrepreneurs, the opportunity is clear: build a relationship-driven business in markets where assurance travels fast and dependable care can make an outsized impact. 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 Springfield and Westfield. Families here need reliable care, and there are local leaders who want to step up and provide it,” said&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/jennychaney/">Jennifer Chaney</a>, Senior Vice President of Franchise Development and Sales. “We’re excited to meet people who care about their community and want to build a business that makes a difference.”Right at Home enters 2026 after a steady year of development and progress. 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.”The region presents a strong opportunity for in-home care services, with an aging population over 65+ of 30,271 seniors requiring care in Springfield, Westfield and its surrounding communities. This is 20 percent of the area’s total population.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. Right at Home has been ranked on the Entrepreneur Franchise 500 list for the 22nd consecutive year and was named a 2025 Top Franchise Brand for Multi-Unit Owners by Entrepreneur Magazine. The brand also received the Culture100 Award from Franchise Business Review and was named to Franchise Business Review’s 2024 Hall of Fame. In 2025, Franchise Business Review celebrated Right at Home with several major honors, including Top Overall Franchise, Most Profitable Franchise, and recognition for culture, veteran opportunities, and franchisee satisfaction.Right at Home is dedicated to helping seniors and adults with disabilities live independently through personalized in-home care. Its services range from companionship and personal care to assistance with everyday activities. Each locally owned office employs thoroughly screened and trained caregivers who are insured and committed to delivering peace of mind to the families they serve.“Our focus is on giving franchise owners the tools and guidance they need to thrive,” said&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/mallory-hoskinson/">Mallory Hoskinson</a>, Senior Director of Growth and Engagement. “Whether it’s lead generation, operations, or long-term strategy, we’re here to help them build strong, lasting businesses.”To learn more about franchising with Right at Home, visit&nbsp;<a href="https://rightathomefranchise.com/">https://rightathomefranchise.com/</a>.ABOUT RIGHT AT HOMEFounded in 1995, Right at Home offers in-home care to seniors and adults with disabilities who want to live independently.

Right at Home Targets Springfield, Westfield 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.

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.

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>.
