Right at Home

The in-home senior care industry has seen unprecedented growth in recent years as the baby boomer generation begins flooding the market. An estimated 10,000 baby boomers turn 65 years old every day, and&nbsp;by 2050, nearly 20% of the U.S. population will be 65 and older.This shift in the age distribution of the country is accompanied by a significant change in the way baby boomers are aging. Not only are they living longer than their parents, but they’re also healthier than past generations, allowing them to remain in their homes longer.With the U.S. home care market expected to <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/senior-care-market-trends?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=why-right-now-is-the-right-time-to-partner-with-right-at-home-2716494" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">grow to $225 billion by 2024</a>, there’s never been a better opportunity to help meet that demand than as a senior care brand franchisee, according to <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/jennychaney/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=why-right-now-is-the-right-time-to-partner-with-right-at-home-2716494" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Jen Chaney</a>, vice president of franchise development for <a href="https://rightathomefranchise.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=why-right-now-is-the-right-time-to-partner-with-right-at-home-2716494" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Right at Home</a>, a leading global in-home care franchise system with more than 600 provider locations in seven countries.“There’s so much need for in-home senior care services right now, and that demand is only going to grow,” Chaney said. “By the year 2030, older people are projected to outnumber children for the first time in history.”The brand name that’s become synonymous with compassionate care for aging seniors, Right at Home, is growing quickly to accommodate what industry experts call the “<a href="https://www.leisurecare.com/resources/silver-tsunami-senior-living/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=why-right-now-is-the-right-time-to-partner-with-right-at-home-2716494#:~:text=What%20is%20the%20Silver%20Tsunami,Americans%20are%2065%20or%20older." target="_blank" rel="nofollow">silver tsunami</a>.”According to the <a href="https://www.ncoa.org/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=why-right-now-is-the-right-time-to-partner-with-right-at-home-2716494" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">National Council on Aging</a>, 90% of seniors say they plan to remain in their homes for the next five to 10 years. A number of <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4270052/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=why-right-now-is-the-right-time-to-partner-with-right-at-home-2716494" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">studies</a> support that decision: Home health care offers many advantages over hospital-based health care, including financial, social and overall quality of life.And now, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, there’s even more reason for seniors and their families to choose in-home care over assisted living facility and nursing home models.&nbsp;“Everyone across the globe has seen that there have been a lot of individuals pulling their loved ones from an assisted living facility for fear of disease due to the pandemic,” Chaney said. “Not only are families seeing in-home care as a more ideal option than a nursing home, but so are seniors. Home is where they want to be, and the pandemic has made that even clearer.”In-home senior care is also a more affordable option than a residential model, another factor that’s driving unprecedented demand as baby boomers age into the senior segment.With Right at Home franchise owners reporting increased sales throughout the pandemic, the in-home senior care industry offers huge growth potential and few downsides that other industries face. “There will always be a need for a human being in the in-home senior care services industry,” Chaney said. “It’s not something that can be automated.”It’s also relatively inexpensive to launch. “This is not a heavy asset to get into, because the bulk of the business is the actual service you provide,” Chaney said. “Franchisees don’t have to worry about generating revenue to cover large overhead costs like office spaces and large staffs.”More than just a financially rewarding career, Right at Home offers entrepreneurs a level of fulfillment as well. “With a mission to improve the quality of life for those we serve, Right at Home franchisees have the opportunity to impact the lives of people in their communities,” Chaney added. “It’s an incredibly rewarding business that allows you to really feel good about the work you do and the difference it makes.”The total investment necessary to begin operation of a Right a Home franchise ranges from $82,000 to $150,800. This includes an initial franchise fee of $49,500 that must be paid to the franchisor.*All fees are disclosed in the Right at Home 2021 Franchise Disclosure Document.

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. Most Right at Home offices are independently owned and operated and directly employ and supervise all caregiving staff. Each caregiver is thoroughly screened, trained, and bonded/insured before entering a client’s home. Right at Home’s global office is based in Omaha, Nebraska, with more than 750 franchise locations in the U.S. and four other countries.

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>.
