Right at Home Targets Madison and Nearby Rural Communities for In-Home Care Growth

right-at-home-targets-madison-and-nearby-rural-communities-for-in-home-care-growth

Buying a resale franchise within the&nbsp;<a href="https://rightathomefranchise.com/">Right at Home</a> system can offer a practical way to enter the in-home care industry. Instead of launching a new office from the ground up, resale buyers step into an established location that already has caregivers, clients and day-to-day processes in place. That structure allows new owners to focus on learning the business and building relationships while continuing to serve the community.From the brand’s perspective, resale opportunities are designed to give new owners a head start while preserving what has already been built.“It’s a way for entrepreneurs to purchase something that is already well established,” said Angela Young, Director of Resales for&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/rightathome/info">Right at Home</a>. “They can benefit from the relationships with clients, caregivers and referral partners that are already in place and step in to take the business to new heights.”Resale opportunities can be especially appealing to entrepreneurs who want to grow an existing operation rather than start from scratch.&nbsp;<a href="http://linkedin.com/in/erica-celeste-carlisle">Erica Carlisle</a> took that path when she purchased a Right at Home resale location in the San Francisco Bay Area.“I was planning to acquire an existing business. I wasn’t looking to do a startup,” Carlisle said. “It seemed like a better fit with my background, skills and experience, which have been more along the lines of building companies and scaling them up.”<h2>An Existing Client Base and Team</h2>Buying a resale location also means stepping into a business that already has staff in place and clients who are actively receiving care. That can make the transition smoother for families and give the new owner a better sense of how the operation runs day to day.In the early weeks after taking over the business, franchisees can focus on getting to know the people connected to the office.“It’s a completely different thing than trying to start up from scratch,” Carlisle said. “Your days are filled with trying to get to know the caregivers, get to know the clients and their families and the existing office team.”Spending time with clients and caregivers helped her quickly learn the rhythm of the business while maintaining relationships already established within the community. That continuity also extends beyond daily operations.“They’ve already set up processes in the office and built strong teams,” Young said. “It’s very advantageous to retain that staff and step into a business where people are already doing the job.”<h2>A Smooth Transition Between Owners</h2>The transition often includes a brief period where the previous owner works alongside the new franchisee. That time allows the new owner to learn the systems and routines that keep the business running day to day.“For the first few weeks, the seller and I worked side by side so he could teach me critical things like how to run payroll and the processes that need to keep going with no errors,” Carlisle said.That hands-on transition helped her understand the day-to-day responsibilities involved in operating the office. The transition is also supported at the system level to help ensure stability for both clients and staff.“The owners have put a lot of time and effort into this, and they really care about their clients and the people who work in their communities,” Young said.&nbsp;<h2>Established Processes Help Owners Learn Faster</h2>A resale franchise also comes with systems that are already functioning. Recruiting, scheduling, payroll and billing processes are typically in place before the new owner arrives.&nbsp;The office team already understands those workflows, which can make the learning process easier for a new franchisee.“Most of the core processes the team knew how to do,” Carlisle said. “You have to rely on the team for a while to say ‘OK, you're going to do it to that point, and then I'm going to do this piece.’”That collaboration allowed her to gradually learn each step involved in hiring caregivers, managing schedules and handling administrative responsibilities.<h2>Training, Coaching and a Strong Franchise Network</h2>Even though resale buyers are stepping into an existing business, they still receive the same support offered to new franchisees across the Right at Home system. That support includes formal training, coaching and ongoing guidance from the franchisor.New owners attend a week-long training program at the company’s headquarters in Omaha. Franchisees also work with a coach who meets with them frequently in the early stages of ownership. Even for resale buyers, the onboarding process mirrors what new franchisees experience across the system.“If you’re new to the system, you still go through our Right Start training and learn the fundamentals of home care,” Young said. “You also have coaches and subject matter experts supporting you in everything from operations to marketing.”In addition to coaching, franchisees have access to topic-specific calls, marketing guidance and a network of fellow owners who can share insights and advice.&nbsp;“Other owners are super helpful,” she said. “People in the corporate headquarters in Omaha have been really supportive and full of expertise and information that has helped.”These resale opportunities give prospective franchisees the chance to acquire an established business while benefiting from the brand's training and support. For many buyers, that combination creates a more stable path into ownership. Once they're ready to sell, Right at Home supports them through that transition as well, helping ensure a smooth handoff to the next owner.“We support our franchisees all the way through their journey,” Young said. “We want the selling of their business to be that grand finale of this very fruitful journey they've had with Right at Home.”&nbsp;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>&nbsp;

Right at Home Targets South Dartmouth and Nearby Rural Communities for In-Home Care Growth

right-at-home-targets-south-dartmouth

Long before she became a&nbsp;<a href="https://rightathomefranchise.com/">Right at Home</a> franchisee in&nbsp;<a href="https://www.rightathome.net/janesville">Janesville, Wisconsin</a>,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/katie-villa/">Katie Villa</a> had spent much of her adult life as a caregiver. She started in the field during college and continued in patient care after becoming a nurse. This past year, she took care of her grandfather during his end-of-life hospice care.&nbsp;“That was very eye-opening and really showed me the importance of having seniors age in their home and providing them that dignity,” she said. “And also having caregivers in the home who are compassionate and provide quality care.”Katie began looking into in-home care, including hospice nursing, as a possible next step. Around that time, she came across a newspaper article about&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/rightathome/info">Right at Home</a> and sent it to her mom,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/maryjovilla/">Mary Jo Villa</a>. Mary Jo encouraged her to learn more, and before long, she was interested in the opportunity, too.Mary Jo spent her career in human resources and operations for a group of newspapers and radio stations, where she held almost every seat except the newsroom. Now, she works for a large holding company, where she supports 20 different companies with benefits work.&nbsp;“When Katie saw this article and sent it to me, my first piece of pride was, ‘Yes, she's still reading the newspaper.’ But I told her we should absolutely explore it,” Mary Jo said. “I have been so impressed with Right at Home. They were clearly selecting us, and we were selecting them.”From the early discovery process through onboarding, the Villas were impressed with how much structure and support the brand provided. The training programs and ongoing business coaching gave them confidence in the business.&nbsp;“Katie's only 30 years old, and so yes, she has me, but you need someone other than your mom validating what your mom says,” Mary Jo said. “So I’ve been extremely impressed with the expertise coming out of Right at Home corporate&nbsp;and how they bring new owners on.”<h2>What It’s Like Working as a Family</h2>Working with your mom, or any family member, isn’t for everyone. It can often be polarizing, with some people not recommending it at all, and some not being able to recommend it enough. Katie and Mary Jo see their different strengths, and the time they spend together, as part of what makes the partnership work.“I never could have imagined doing this without my mom,” Katie said. “Obviously, her knowledge and her expertise, but also her support. I think that we're so fortunate to have a close relationship. I've watched her my entire life. She's been a boss my entire life and this really embodies that and being able to continue that legacy in our family.”For Mary Jo, one of the most rewarding parts has been watching Katie step into her own expertise. Katie oversees the caregiving and client side of the business, while Mary Jo handles operations and strategy, giving the two a natural division of responsibilities.“I'm here and highly involved and working, but Katie is the principal operator,” she said. “I've worked in family offices my whole life. You just draw those boundaries. There are the things that you're going to make a mutual decision on and there are the things that you say, ‘No, this is your decision’ or 'This is my decision.’ And then you don't second-guess each other.”Because their skill sets are so different, the partnership has been easier to navigate. Katie leads decisions around care plans and client relationships, while Mary Jo takes the lead on business systems and financial structure.“We enjoy being together and we laugh a lot. We believe in hard work, but we have fun. There's nothing that is so profound that it would affect our mother-daughter relationship,” Mary Jo said.&nbsp;<h2>How They Are Building a Presence in Janesville</h2>The Villas are building their business with a strong focus on their community. Having lived and worked in the area for decades, Mary Jo sees that as a major advantage.“I've been established in the community for almost 40 years,” she said. “We consider our entire family a part of this, even if they won't be employed, so to speak. Our whole family is going to be in T-shirts at events. We'll be out as a public face in the community.”As a young owner, Katie plans to stay involved and continue building both the client base and the caregiver network.
