Right at Home Builds on 2026 Growth as Momentum Continues Through Q3

The in-home care franchise is closing in on its third-quarter development goal while preparing franchise owners for continued growth in 2027.

Right at Home, the leading in-home care franchise with more than 750 locations, continued its franchise development momentum through the third quarter of 2026, reaching 19 new territory sales. With development opportunities still available across the country, the brand is entering the final quarter focused on continued expansion while helping existing franchise owners finish 2026 strong and begin planning for 2027.

The franchise owners joining Right at Home during Q3 continued to represent a wide range of professional backgrounds. Some have previous franchise or business ownership experience, while others are becoming business owners for the first time. Similarly, some have worked in senior care, while others are entering the industry without previous home care experience.

“Looking at our signings here in Q3, we’ve got all walks of life,” said Jen Chaney, Senior Vice President of Franchise Development and Sales. “Each one has their own unique story, their strengths and weaknesses, their background, what they’re great at, and what they need to learn more about. It’s very diverse, which has always been the case.”

California generated particularly strong interest during the quarter and remains a market with development opportunities for new franchise owners. More broadly, Right at Home continues to look across the U.S. as it works to fill its remaining available territories.

After 31 years in business and 26 years of franchising, Right at Home has built an extensive national footprint. That longevity means the number of available territories is becoming more limited, but Chaney said opportunities remain in markets across the country where growing senior populations are creating demand for in-home care.

“There’s a lot of opportunity in California,” Chaney said. “Interest in franchising and people coming to Right at Home with interest in franchising in California has always been there, and that’s certainly been the case here in Q3. But my area of focus is the United States of America. The territories that we have left have a ton of seniors who need care. Great opportunities to join the Right at Home system from coast to coast still remain.”

Beyond franchise development, Right at Home used Q3 to continue refining its long-term strategy. The leadership team spent significant time during Q2 and Q3 evaluating the company’s annual, three-year, and longer-term plans, with a focus on how the corporate team can continue helping franchise owners build sustainable businesses as demand for senior care grows.

The aging U.S. population remains an important part of that outlook. As more baby boomers reach the ages when they may require assistance at home, Right at Home is preparing its franchise system to serve a larger population while maintaining the quality of care at the center of the brand.

“We have spent, as a leadership team, a lot of time from Q2 into Q3 refining that strategy,” Chaney said. “What does the future look like here at Right at Home, and how can we, as a leadership team and entire corporate office here, support our system to build these sustainable, profitable businesses that they all want? We are dedicated to doing that.”

Right at Home will carry that focus into Q4. The company continues to work with franchise owners on increasing revenue and care hours while recruiting and retaining high-quality caregivers. At the same time, the brand’s coaching team is already helping owners begin developing their individual strategic business plans for 2027.

“As we look ahead to 2027, in Q4 our coaching staff works heavily with our franchise owners on an annual strategic plan for the following year,” Chaney said. “Of course, we look at the right here and now and how the business is doing, but we’re already looking ahead to 2027 and putting together strategic business plans with each one of our franchise owners so they each have an individual goal to achieve at the end of 2027.”

As Right at Home moves into the final months of 2026, the brand remains focused on adding franchise owners in available territories while strengthening the businesses already operating throughout its system. With Q3 development tracking toward its goal and planning for 2027 already underway, the company is positioning its franchise system to meet the increasing need for in-home senior care in communities across the country.
