According to Right at Home’s 2011 Franchise Disclosure Document, the home care franchise rounded up its best year yet. Of the 168 offices that have been open for at least a year, fifty-nine of them posted over $1 million in annual sales during 2010.
“We are proud to have so many of our franchisees above the million-dollar mark. Our franchisees are truly incredible people. The fact that most of them started this business without any prior home care experience is a testament to their hard work and dedication to helping others.†Eric Little, senior vice president of franchise development for Right at Home, said. “At the corporate office, we also work tirelessly to provide industry-leading training and support, and to provide franchisees with the tools they need to differentiate themselves in their local markets.â€
In the U.S. alone, 12.9 percent of the nation’s 300 million people are age 65 and older. Noting the growing senior care industry, Robert Scandura transitioned into the industry four years ago. He spent over 20 years living with and caring for his grandparents. It was after his experience of providing quality of life for them that he made the transition from his business management career to business owner with Right at Home. After just four years, Scandura is Right at Home’s highest earning franchisee, rolling in $9.4 million in sales last year alone.
