The Right at Home franchise business model is designed to provide supportive care services that allow clients to retain as much of their independence and dignity as possible, in their own home. Most Franchisees provide companionship and personal care services. These include playing cards with a client, preparing meals, helping them brush their teeth and get dressed, as well as help with errands. Some Franchisees provide in-home nursing services as well. All of these services help ease the burden on the client’s family and friends who are often overwhelmed with providing and coordinating care for their loved ones.
In addition to the obvious financial rewards of business ownership in general, Right at Home Franchisees are known for having a sense of fulfillment, accomplishment, and they take pride in knowing that they’ve created a sustainable business to serve others as they age. Right at Home is a great fit for people who want their work to have more purpose, and who want to use their business skills in a more meaningful way.
Perhaps one of the most robust portions of the Right at Home support program is delivered through the Online Marketing Specialists (OMS). These team members manage your website content and structure, as well as social media posting and strategy. The costs and time required to build and manage a website as well as social media accounts and related content and SEO can be staggering for small businesses. Right at Home makes this part of business ownership easy, so you can focus on building your business. In addition to the support provided by the OMS, Right at Home has a national brand fund, sophisticated marketing and brand management, and professional public relations support.
