"To Improve the Quality of Life for Those We Serve"
Jon & Katrina Lawson | Owners
Jon and Katrina Lawson opened a Right at Home office to serve the South Bend area after feeling a calling to more meaningfully improve people's lives. Jon graduated from Notre Dame Law School. As an attorney, he represented many clients in the medical field. Despite enjoying the practice of law, Jon felt he wanted to directly support people individually and help improve their lives in more meaningful ways.
Helping seniors remain and thrive in their homes struck a chord with Jon and Katrina. Both of their grandparents received loving and supportive in-home care that improved their grandparents’ longevity and quality of life. Jon and Katrina are proud and excited to bring Right at Home to the area and provide peace of mind to local seniors and their family members.
