Why did I go into home care?

I got into home care after experiencing the value of great caregivers in my own life with both of my grandmothers. My dad’s mother, who suffered from major depression, received care from an aide when she lived with us while I was a teenager. Gloria was able to get my grandmother prepared, dressed and onto the senior bus to the mall and the senior center. I also experienced first hand the positive effect home care had on the relationship between my mother and my grandmother (her mother-in-law). My mother could concentrate on th ejoys of being a daughter-in-law again, instead of the caregiver. I also saw the positive difference other aides would make simply by sitting with my grandmother.

My mom’s mother was very independent and the matriarch of our family. When she started to show signs of Alzheimer's, her children struggled with her refusing care. When she finally agreed to get care, it was Deborah, a caregiver, that helped me and my brothers understand what was going on and what to expect.

About Right at Home, Inc.

Right at Home was founded by Allen Hager. For many years, Allen worked in health care as a hospital administrator. While in the hospital environment, he watched patients – especially seniors – leave the facility and return home, but not necessarily return to health. Once home, a lot of his former patients were unable to care for themselves.

Allen knew that with a little help, most of these people could lead healthy, happy lives in their own homes. But he also knew that there were very few companies that offered this kind of help. Allen didn’t just jump in and start a franchising company, however.

First, he talked to dozens of families to understand the different kinds of challenges they faced and what kind of care would help. Then he became a certified nursing assistant so he could experience the needs of people who were still living in their home but who needed some professional assistance.

In 1995, Allen started Right at Home in Omaha, Nebraska. Five years later, he started branching into other regions of the country by carefully selecting franchisees who shared his passion for caring for those in their community.

Right at Home now has more than 175 offices that serve thousands of clients across the United States. We even have operations in the United Kingdom and Brazil.
