When she decided to transition to business ownership, the in-home care space seemed like the perfect fit — an industry where she could leverage her prior experience and make a difference in her community.“I was looking for another opportunity. I had spent about 15 years in the post-acute care space, and I wanted to have a change in direction, but I still wanted to work with the senior demographic,” she said. “I found the in-home care space, and I thought, ‘I bet there is a humongous need for this, specifically in my area.’”Heiss also had personal experience with home care, noting that the presence of caregivers in her grandparents’ lives made a remarkable difference.“My grandma and grandpa were able to live out their days at home with the care that they had, and my parents, aunts and uncles really needed that assistance,” Heiss said. “Throughout their time, their in-home care providers became like a part of our family. They were there during Christmas to help grandma and grandpa so the family could relax. It was a very big part of our lives. It always interested me how incredibly impactful that work is, and it’s something that you don’t know that you need it until you need it.”Heiss officially signed the agreement for her first&nbsp;<a href="https://rightathomefranchise.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=right-at-home-chrisy-heiss-success-2730300" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Right at Home</a> territory in December of 2021 and was open by March 2022.

Everyone I’ve run into in the Right at Home system has been incredibly supportive.”Having this support and the freedom to build her own agency, within the guardrails provided by Right at Home, has allowed Heiss the opportunity to create something truly meaningful, serving the community she loves with the support of a strong, national brand.“The in-home care market is the market to be in,” she said. “We have a significant amount of care that’s going to be needed in the foreseeable future. Whether you’re a big metropolitan territory or a more rural territory, when people need this care, they’re going to need it. And as a Right at Home owner, they’ll call you.”With growing demand across Ohio, Right at Home is looking to add 13 new territories, focusing on growth in Akron, Cleveland, Youngstown, Dayton, Canton, Fayetteville and Springfield.Join Heiss and Powills for the upcoming webinar to hear more about Heiss’s journey, her advice for prospective owners, and insights on the opportunities for growth with Right at Home in Ohio.Sign up for the webinar&nbsp;<a href="https://streamyard.com/watch/bMwVGKdASRfb?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=right-at-home-chrisy-heiss-success-2730300" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">here</a>.
