Right at Home

KANSAS CITY, MO –<a href="https://1851franchise.com/rightathome/info">&nbsp;Right at Home</a>, the in-home care franchise with over 700 locations worldwide, has built an incredible system of dedicated business owners and caregivers, and the ethos of the brand shines through in everything it does — including its annual “Home Improvement” franchisee conference. This April, Right at Home is partnering with<a href="https://www.veteranscommunityproject.org/kansascity?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=right-at-home-supports-veterans-community-project-2725956" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">&nbsp;Veterans Community Project of Kansas City</a> to further support veterans in the Kansas City area.“The Right at Home system has impacted so many veterans nationwide in multiple ways,” said<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/margaret-haynes/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=right-at-home-supports-veterans-community-project-2725956" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">&nbsp;Margaret Haynes</a>, President and CEO of Right at Home. “We have veterans who have built brighter futures for themselves and their families through franchise ownership, dedicated veterans who chose to take on a new type of service through caregiving with local offices, and plenty of veterans who live more fulfilled lives thanks to the care provided by Right at Home franchisees and their caregivers.”Veterans Community Project is a nonprofit organization that supports veterans in crisis through transitional housing and ongoing educational, financial literacy and employment support.“The problem won’t be solved in 2024. We need ongoing support because, as one veteran moves out, and we celebrate that, we’re moving in the next veteran,” explained<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/kristin-griffin-6b6b7a178/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=right-at-home-supports-veterans-community-project-2725956" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">&nbsp;Kristin Griffin</a>, communications and events coordinator at Veterans Community Project of Kansas City. “There are hundreds of homeless veterans in our area and beyond. Many veterans like to isolate and will go to less-populated regions and rural areas. By having strong nationwide partners like Right at Home, we continue to expand our footprint every year, and we’ll impact hundreds and hundreds of lives.”“This is a great way for us to contribute. I personally have a strong urge to help those who are homeless. That’s a big part of my drive, especially with our aging population,” explained<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/kami-sjoberg-6a272526/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=right-at-home-supports-veterans-community-project-2725956" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">&nbsp;Kami Sjoberg</a>, owner of Right at Home of<a href="https://www.rightathome.net/kansas-city-metro-lawrence?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=right-at-home-supports-veterans-community-project-2725956" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">&nbsp;Overland Park</a> and<a href="https://www.rightathome.net/lawrence?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=right-at-home-supports-veterans-community-project-2725956" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">&nbsp;Lawrence</a>, Kansas. “I think we’re going to have so many more homeless people to support, and I’m proud and excited that we have business leaders system-wide coming together in Kansas City to support this project. When we get those people together, we can make a profound impact on the people that are living in the community at the Veterans Project.”Right at Home will be collecting donations from attendees at its Home Improvement registration desk on the first two days of its conference. The system will also assemble three types of care packages — snack bags, meal boxes and hygiene bags — and is accepting donations of a wide range of items, including food items (fruit cups, packaged nuts, granola bars, applesauce, peanut butter, crackers, boxed mac and cheese, canned tuna and canned soups) and toiletries (shampoo, bar soap, body wash, deodorant, shaving cream, toothpaste and toothbrushes).On the third day of the conference, members of the Veterans Community Project will address the system, sharing more about their program and who they support. The Right at Home team will then present an oversized check and all of the in-kind donations to Veterans Community Project before coming together as a team to assemble individual care packages.Sjoberg shared that she is already seeing excitement from owners throughout the system and looks forward to sharing the experience with her own teams.“There’s a bond between owners, and when we come together, it really creates an excitement,” she said. “The collaboration is outstanding, and the movement that we’ll lead going forward is powerful. It’s exciting to have Home Improvement here in Kansas City, and I want as many people in my office to be a part of this experience as we can so that they can experience the power of the system.”Beyond giving back to veterans in the Kansas City community, Right at Home aims to support veterans in all phases of life and the commitment runs through all layers of the system. For those looking to transition back into civilian life and find a meaningful venture, the franchise model serves as a helpful platform. Right at Home offers a 25% discount on its initial franchise fee for veterans and is consistently ranked on Entrepreneur’s<a href="https://www.entrepreneur.com/franchises/directory/top-franchise-veterans-ranking?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=right-at-home-supports-veterans-community-project-2725956" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">&nbsp;Top Franchises for Veterans</a> list.“Right at Home is engaged in supporting our veterans through the entire home care franchise pipeline,” said<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/robertsondoug/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=right-at-home-supports-veterans-community-project-2725956" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">&nbsp;Doug Robertson</a>, director of healthcare regulation and compliance at Right at Home. “We have numerous veterans in our home care system who are owners, and they’re supporting veterans through hiring. Right at Home local offices provide care to veterans, and veterans really appreciate getting care from veterans. About 85% of our system is contracted in the<a href="https://www.va.gov/COMMUNITYCARE/providers/Community-Care-Network.asp?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=right-at-home-supports-veterans-community-project-2725956" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">&nbsp;U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs Community Care Network</a>, which offers benefits like in-home care assistance, home health aide benefits and respite benefits. We’re providing services to veterans nationwide, and we thoroughly enjoy that.”&nbsp;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.

READY TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE?

DAYTON, Ohio&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&nbsp;<a href="https://rightathomefranchise.com/available-territories/franchise-opportunities-in-ohio/right-at-home-franchise-opportunity-in-dayton-oh/">Dayton</a> 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 Dayton 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 Dayton.

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.”Dayton presents a strong opportunity for in-home care services, with an aging population of 155,656 seniors and 22 successful territories in the state.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.

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>.
