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.

Letha Irvin
Director of Community Relations
While working with clients and their families to find the right care, she’s seen how matching the right caregiver with a client can not only extend the client’s life, but also add so much more joy and security to the families. By knowing their loved one is being cared for, not only by the assigned caregiver, but also the office team, helps the families to know that if anything ever arises, there are others trained and ready to assist. Letha graduated from Nursing school in 2011 and has over 12 years of experience in the healthcare field. She loves working directly with clients as this is her passion. Letha’s unique ability to provide guidance to both the caregiving team as well as the family allows her to make very organic connections with them. Her primary goal is to let families know that great care is accessible and available so their loved one can live safely and independently in their own homes.
Letha looks forward to helping your family find the right caregiver to serve our loved ones specific care needs. She wants to effectively partner with you to determine the length of service as well as the number of hours or days you may need it. She knows some clients may only need care to get through an upcoming surgery or procedure and it may only last a few days or weeks. Others may need more longer term care or more extensive assistance. In either case, Letha’s knowledge and experience allows her to assist in creating a care plan that fulfills your goals.

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.
