Right at Home

Randy and Susan Price have recently expanded their profile with <a href="http://www.rightathomefranchise.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=new-york-times-article-inspires-randy-price-to-get-into-franchising-756" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Right at Home</a>, going from one territory to three in North Texas. 

From age 12, Randy Price had always been businessman, owning a lawn care business and hiring his first employee when he was 14. Price realized he had a natural talent for the business world. The native Texan graduated from the University of Texas with a bachelor’s degree in economics with an emphasis in accounting. Directly out of school, Price began his career as an independent insurance agent for Price Financial Service.

Price added to his entrepreneurial career when he founded and developed The Price Company, a commercial and residential landscaping company. The skills he built in his eponymous company led him to many other opportunities. For 10 years, Price served as a partner and the vice president of operations at Van Tone Companies Inc., where he managed all operations, including manufacturing, finances, purchasing, distribution, inventory, quality control, HR, accounting, legal and safety.

At the conclusion of his career with Van Tone, Price went on to serve as executive vice president at <a title="Find others who have worked at this company" href="https://www.linkedin.com/search?search=&amp%3Bcompany=Homemade+Gourmet%2C+Inc&amp%3BsortCriteria=R&amp%3BkeepFacets=true&amp%3Btrk=prof-exp-company-name&utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=new-york-times-article-inspires-randy-price-to-get-into-franchising-756" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Homemade Gourmet Inc</a>., where he managed all production, distribution, purchasing, inventory and quality control during the highest growth year in the company's history. With his extensive business background, Price never took franchising into consideration until he read an article in the New York Times, which highlighted <a href="http://www.rightathomefranchise.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=new-york-times-article-inspires-randy-price-to-get-into-franchising-756" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Right at Home</a>. Soon after, he began his research on the senior in-home care industry and quickly realized the need for in-home care for seniors. Liking what he saw, Price researched a variety of companies and knew his next career move sat with <a href="http://www.rightathomefranchise.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=new-york-times-article-inspires-randy-price-to-get-into-franchising-756" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Right at Home</a>.

Elected to be on the Franchisor Advisory Board, the Prices want to spearhead the expansion on <a href="http://www.rightathomefranchise.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=new-york-times-article-inspires-randy-price-to-get-into-franchising-756" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Right at Home</a> throughout Texas, hoping to add two more over the next two years in Mount Pleasant and Nacogdoches, Texas.

Randy and Susan’s first location became the fastest-growing <a href="http://www.rightathomefranchise.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=new-york-times-article-inspires-randy-price-to-get-into-franchising-756" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Right at Home</a> franchise in the country as well as one of the largest in-home senior-care providers in terms of size. The addition of these new territories allows the Prices to cover an area that is larger than three Northeastern states put together.

How did you find out about Right at Home?

Actually, I was reading the New York Times and saw an article <a href="http://www.rightathomefranchise.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=new-york-times-article-inspires-randy-price-to-get-into-franchising-756" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Right at Home</a> was featured in.  I started doing my research and really liked what I saw. I knew this was something there was a demand for and wanted to try my luck with it. 

Why did you choose an opportunity with Right at Home?

We realized this was the correct choice for us from our interview with corporate. We had a better feel for it, and we really respected the culture and how corporate was organized. 

What personal experience do you have in your own family with caring for a senior?

My father had Alzheimer’s, and seeing my sisters step in and help really showed me the value and importance of the amount of work that goes into in-home care. We ensure all of our staff and caregivers really give from the heart and think of our clients as if they were their parents.

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.

right-at-home-targets-springfield-westfield-and-nearby-rural-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 Franchise Costs, Fees, Profit and Data for 2026

right-at-home-franchise-costs-fees

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>.
