Our Story
Right at Home was founded by former hospital administrator Allen Hager. Watch the video below as Allen tells the story of his first client - and the very unique skill that was required of each caregiver who visited the client's home. Then, continue reading below the video to discover the story leading up to that first client, and an update on where we are today.
For many years, Allen worked in healthcare as a hospital administrator. While in the hospital environment, he watched many patients – especially seniors – leave the facility and return home, but not necessarily return to health. Once home, a lot of his former patients were unable to care for themselves.
Allen knew that with a little help, most of these people could lead healthy, happy lives in their own homes. But he also knew that there were very few companies that offered this kind of help.
Before he considered franchising, however, he talked to dozens of families to understand the different kinds of challenges they faced and what kind of care would help. Then he became a certified nursing assistant so he could experience the needs of people who were still living in their home but who needed some professional assistance.
In 1995, Allen started Right at Home in Omaha, Nebraska. Five years later, he started branching into other regions of the country by carefully selecting franchisees who shared his passion for caring for those in their community.

It feels like family. It's that comfortable. I would say at this point, where we are, life is good.
