Right at Home

Values & History

Right At Home was founded in Omaha, NE by Allen Hager in 1995. Allen's background in hospital administration provided him with first-hand knowledge and experience other home care offerings lack. Witnessing the struggle older patients would go through after checking out of the hospital, struggling with the recovery process at home, and often needing readmittance for prolonged care, Allen saw a real need for informed and reliable in-home health care and created a way to provide the necessary ongoing assistance clients needed, all in the comfort of their own homes. After perfecting the Right At Home business model, the organization opened up franchise opportunities to share that success with others committed to providing the absolute best care possible.

Industry Performance

Nearly 25 million Americans relied on some form of health care assistance throughout 2019, with nearly 70% of seniors requiring assistance with daily life tasks. By the year 2030, 20% of the American population will be 65 years of age or older, with fewer family members available to care for aging loved ones, heralding an upcoming projected need for in-home health care of 26% through 2024. Over the last five years, in-home care franchises grew an average of 9.1% annually, with fewer than 60 franchise brands in operation.
