International standard

for home care

Based in the US, Right at Home is building a global franchise network for elderly home

care services. CEO Allen Hager explains why he believes there is a growing demand for 

these services internationally, and talks about the Right at Home philosophy.

“I’ve been looking a Europe and have

noiced ha hey he same problem

exiss as in he US: rising healhcare

coss, ageing populaion, and a he

same ime a slowdown in populaion

growh. In oher words, here’s ewer

young people o care or more elderly

people. The Neherlands is paricularly

ineresing o us as hey are already

amiliar wih home care services. And

rom a business perspecive, he Duch

are open-minded, which creaes a good

climae or a company like ours o builda new ranchise nework.”

New ranchise holders do have o mee

Righ a Home’s qualiy sandards.

“Franchisees mus careully selec

caregivers and check ha hey have he

righ background and raining,” Mr.

Hager poins ou. “Franchise akers

make use o our in-house developed

proessional assessmen mehodology

o assess paien needs. Anoher vial

par o he Righ a Home mehod is on-

going supervision. Wha you oen see

in home care is ha people’s care and

medical needs progress, and we

consanly reevaluae hose needs or

ha reason. Overall our ambiion is o

creae a high qualiy care service, on a

global scale. “

Allen Hager esablished Righ a Home

in 1995. “I worked in hospial

adminisraion a he ime, mosly

ocused on creaing care venues or

paiens, and in ha capaciy looked a

he whole specrum o care. I noiced

ha a lo o people were concerned

abou how o care or heir elderly

amily members once hey had le hehospial. I also spoke wih elderly

people who realised hey were in need

o nursing care, bu didn’ wan o leave

he comor o heir own home. You

have o realise ha i’s a lo o pressure

o care or elderly amily members,

especially when hese people have

specic healhcare needs. So I decided

o esablish Righ a Home, enabling

elderly people o say a home while

receiving qualiy care.”

The plan, says Mr. Hager, iniially was or

Righ a Home o operae is own

nework o care services businesses.

“Bu hen I realised ha i would be a

beter idea o sar a ranchise, as people

locally have greaer knowledge o he

local healhcare marke, and care needs,

han I ever will.” So he sared branching

ino oher regions o he counry bycareully selecing ranchisees who

shared his passion or caring or hose in

heir communiy.

Righ a Home now has over 200 ofces

ha serve housands o cliens across

he Unied Saes, he Unied Kingdom,

Brazil and China. Expansion won’ sop

here, says Mr. Hager. The Neherlands

is one o he counries where he’s

looking o esablish a Maser Franchise.
