READY TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE?

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;

DARTMOUTH, 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 South Dartmouth 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 one new unit across South Dartmouth 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 South Dartmouth.

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.”South Dartmouth presents a strong opportunity for in-home care services, with an aging population for residents 65-plus of 19% and thriving locations in nearby towns such as Salem, Boston, and Haverhill.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.

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>.

Navy veteran&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/rightathomeperrysburg/">John Baldwin</a> has traded the tight confines of nuclear submarines for a different kind of high-stakes environment: families trying to keep aging loved ones safe at home.Baldwin, 64, owns a&nbsp;<a href="https://rightathomefranchise.com/">Right at Home</a> franchise in&nbsp;<a href="https://www.rightathome.net/perrysburg">Perrysburg, Ohio</a>, providing in-home support for seniors who want to stay where they are most comfortable. “We do in-home care and assistance for the elderly to help them age in place,” Baldwin&nbsp;<a href="https://toledofreepress.com/beneath-the-surface-the-veteran-behind-right-at-home/">told Toledo Free Press</a>. That’s the business, in a nutshell.”His first career ran deep beneath the ocean. Baldwin served as a submariner from 1979 to 1985, part of the Navy’s nuclear program. He described the pace as relentless and the learning curve steep, moving from nuclear power school to instructing on a prototype and then joining the submarine fleet. Patrols could last three to four months, he said, and the routine blurred time into a single, rolling stretch of days.After leaving the Navy, Baldwin spent two decades at the Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Station. But when his parents and in-laws needed help later in life, he ran into a problem many adult children recognize immediately: finding care that feels both reliable and personal.“God redirected my career path in a big way,” Baldwin said, describing the experience that led him to home care and, eventually, to Right at Home. He opened his franchise in 2010.Today, Baldwin focuses on matching caregivers with clients in a way that makes support feel welcome, not intrusive. Care can range from a couple of visits a week to full-time help, depending on where a family is in the aging process, he said.Baldwin also makes a point to ask new clients a direct question — whether they served — and to steer veterans and their families toward benefits they may not realize are available. For him, it is a continuation of a familiar mission: serve the people counting on you, and make sure no one has to figure it out alone.Read the original article&nbsp;<a href="https://toledofreepress.com/beneath-the-surface-the-veteran-behind-right-at-home/">here</a>.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>.
