Who We Are
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.
I recommend Right at Home Central Maryland to all my friends and clients. Steve and Carole Luber and the team at Right at Home were there for my family as my mother was in end stages of pancreatic cancer and requried increasing levels of home care through the last two weeks of her life. The team responded quickly and brought the most compassionate caregivers. Steve sent us a retired hospice nurse, who was with us helping us as mom took her last breath. We had employed several agencies, in the last few years of my mother's life. Right at Home stands out from the rest as all the Caregivers were happy to work with the Lubers, they felt respected and cared for and are enthusiastic about the company. This spirit of enthusiasm, respect, and care is shared with the clients and families and truly makes a difference!
