1851 Franchisee Spotlight: Frank Barton

After 13 Years of Serving Salt Lake County, Frank Barton bought a Right at Home franchise while caring for his mother with Alzheimer's. Now, he hopes to care for more community members as he expands into Davis County. 

Frank Barton's journey with Right at Home began in 2011, after he left a corporate job where he had spent over a dozen years traveling extensively. He wanted to open a business that would allow him to serve his community while remaining local, Right at Home Salt Lake.

At the time, his mother was suffering from Alzheimer's, having been diagnosed a few years earlier. During his mother's last appointment with a research neurologist, the doctor emphasized the importance of in-home care and even mentioned it would be a great business to get into due to high demand. This coincided with Barton's discussions with a franchise consultant about potential business opportunities, leading him to explore senior care.

Barton found that Right at Home was a good fit for him, both personally and professionally. He thought that his experience would enable him to connect well with the families he would support, which has proven true over the years.

His mother passed away ten years ago in September from Alzheimer's, but Barton continues to honor her memory through his work at Right at Home. Now, he hopes to extend that same experience to the people of Davis County.
