Tim Petlin
Owner
Tim was born and raised in Los Angeles and has lived in Santa Monica and West Los Angeles for over 20 years. He graduated from Cal State-Northridge before attending grad school at UNC-Chapel Hill, earning two master’s degrees in Business and Health Administration. After spending over a decade working as Director of Operations for United Healthcare, he decided he had the experience to pursue a dream of owning a health care business and opened his Right at Home office in 2011.
Tim’s mother was a nurse and he has several siblings and extended family in the medical field, so he was always attracted to healthcare as a profession. He felt too disconnected from patient care while working for a large insurance company. Right at Home is a very fulfilling experience for Tim because he enjoys having more of a direct impact and seeing the results of helping people.
Tim’s family and community are very important to him. His wife is a prominent Veterinarian in Santa Monica and his daughter is a student at Saint Monica Preparatory.
Tim believes in volunteering and giving back to the community. He and his office staff seek community outreach opportunities – everything from volunteering at assisted living centers, to participating in 5K run/walk fundraisers. Tim worked with Team in Training which trains participants for endurance events; in exchange the participants raise funds for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. For nearly 10 years he coached people on how to do triathlons. His motivation is helping people learn a new sport, get out of their comfort zone and at the same time raise money for a great cause. He’s coached more than 500 people who have raised over $3 million for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.

Myrene Gomez comes from a family of medical professionals. Her father was a doctor, General Practitioner and General surgeon for over 50 years.

Seeing her parents’ dedication to helping others, inspired her to join our team at Right at Home.
Prior to joining Right at Home, Myrene held various positions in Human Resources including HR Director and Director of Training roles. Her passion for learning and helping employees reach their highest potential is what fuels her as an HR professional. She constantly looks for ways to hire the right caregivers for our team as well as improve their overall employee experience once on board.

We know our clients and caregivers will love working with Brittany as one of their main points of contact in our office.


Isabella Paniagua
Human Resources Assistant/Recruiter
Isabella seeks to understand the needs of the caregivers and their unique skills. Because of this, we are better able to match these caregivers to our current or new clientele which allows us to provide the highest level of care.
Isabella has a positive, cheerful and calm demeanor. This is exactly the kind of communication style we hope for from our caregivers. She is bilingual in Spanish which is also a plus in a city where there are numerous Spanish speaking caregivers and clients. As she continues to grow with the company, we look forward to expanding her role to include interacting more with our bilingual clients and caregivers, not just applicants.


Orriniesha Zeno
Client Care Coordinator
Because she is dedicated to helping others, she decided to study Psychology after finishing High School. It was through this that she found work as a Psych Assistant/Therapist. Prior to coming to work for us, she has worked in the mental health field for over 5 years which continued to fuel her love of helping others. Not only does she bring to us her love of helping others, but her strong organizational skills as well. She is using her ability to discern the needs of the client and carefully match them to the skills of our Caregivers.
Orriniesha’s cheerful, caring, and patient personality allows her to effectively communicate with our clients and our Caregivers ensuring a positive experience for all. We know that both our clients and caregivers will enjoy working with Orriniesha as the main contact for client scheduling needs.

Wiley Alexander
Field Supervisor
Wiley joined the team in 2014 as a Field Supervisor. He worked for many years in a large healthcare organization which is why this was such an easy transition for him. As a Field Supervisor, Wiley spends most of his time working with our current clients; checking in on their care and assessing any changing needs they may have. When he visits, he also ensures any protective supplies are readily available for both the client and caregiver such as gloves, masks, hand sanitizer, etc. It is our goal to keep our clients as safe and protected as possible in the environment they are in and Wiley is instrumental in doing so.
Wiley will also sometimes work directly with a client, although rare, these times ensure that he is in touch with what our caregivers go through so he can offer suggestions for improvement with both the client’s care and the caregivers skills. Wiley’s upbeat and positive attitude along with his infectious smile ensures our clients and caregivers feel welcomed and appreciated. He looks forward to serving all our clients and caregivers whether new or established.
