Right at Home demonstrates its dedication to veterans by offering home care services, partnering with veteran-focused organizations, and providing franchise fee discounts through VetFran.

Right at Home is deeply committed to supporting veterans across the United States. Through partnerships with organizations like the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) and VetFran, as well as unique community initiatives, the company demonstrates its dedication to improving the lives of veterans and their families. 

Vice President of Franchise Development Jen Chaney and Senior Director of Government Affairs Doug Robertson recently spoke with 1851 Franchise to share insights into Right at Home’s efforts to give back to those who have served our country.

Providing Essential Care Through VA Partnerships

Many Right at Home franchise owners partner with the VA to provide essential home care services for veterans. While not all franchisees participate, those who do play a critical role in ensuring veterans receive the care they need.

“We have several franchise owners who provide services to veterans through the VA,” said Chaney. “When veterans need home care, they can reach out to their local Right at Home provider to partner with them and provide care for those in need.”

These partnerships offer an avenue for franchisees to make a meaningful impact in their communities while helping veterans maintain independence and dignity as they age. Right at Home’s collaboration with the VA also helps to strengthen relationships between local franchises and veteran clients, fostering a sense of trust and support.

“We provide care to veterans, and veterans really appreciate getting care from veterans,” said Robertson. “And veterans often take great satisfaction in providing care to fellow veterans because of that shared experience.” 

Supporting Veterans Through Donations and Volunteerism

In addition to offering care services, Right at Home makes donations to veteran-focused organizations and participates in volunteer initiatives. For example, earlier this year during their annual conference, the company partnered with a Kansas City-based organization that helps veterans transition from active duty to civilian life. 

Additionally, during Right at Home’s annual conference, franchisees volunteered to pack boxes filled with food and essential items for veterans. 

“We’re always taking advantage of any opportunity to partner and help veterans because it is a very big part of our business and something very meaningful to us,” said Chaney. “So we’ll help out in any way that we can.”

VetFran Partnership: A Special Discount for Veteran Franchisees

Right at Home also honors veterans through its long-standing partnership with VetFran, which offers a 25% discount on franchise fees to veterans who want to become franchise owners. This discount serves as a meaningful “thank you” for their service and helps ease the financial commitment required to start a new business.

“The discount that we do offer really means a lot to them,” said Chaney. “Oftentimes, it’s an added benefit that they didn’t know about, and we get to give them that news. It’s something that we have loved, and we continue to award that benefits several veterans throughout our system.”

Right at Home’s five-star rating with VetFran helps attract veteran franchisees, many of whom discover the franchise through VetFran’s website. Others are delighted to learn of the discount after inquiring.

A Community of Support for Veterans

By building partnerships with organizations that support veterans and offering tangible benefits to veteran franchisees, Right at Home is more than just a care provider — it is a community that values and honors those who have served. The company’s efforts reflect a commitment to helping veterans build new careers as franchise owners, receive essential home care services, and find support as they transition into civilian life.

As Right at Home continues to grow, the company remains steadfast in its dedication to its initiatives, knowing they not only benefit veterans but also enrich the communities its franchisees serve.

Right at Home franchisee Jeanine Gagliano entered the caregiving industry after her personal experience caring for her grandmother, handling tasks like cooking, household help, and driving her to appointments. Though she pursued a career in broadcasting, Gagliano’s connection to caregiving remained strong, making in-home care a natural choice when she transitioned careers. Now, she celebrates nearly 10 years of business success on Long Island, New York, where she has five Right at Home territories. 

Gagliano recently joined 1851 Franchise Founder and Publisher Nick Powills to discuss her franchise journey and how her personal caregiving experiences shaped her approach to running her business. In their conversation, she shared how her passion for helping seniors and the support of the Right at Home franchise system allowed her to create a meaningful and successful career. 

“We both had very busy lives. He decided that the rat race wasn’t for him anymore, and his sister — who’s a doctor — suggested he look into the health care industry and in-home care, especially with the aging baby boomer population. So, he did. At the same time, he found out that a good friend of his had retired from the finance industry a couple of years earlier and had purchased a Right at Home franchise. We put those two ideas together, and that’s how we ended up where we are now.” Gagliano told 1851 Franchise Founder and Publisher Nick Powills on a recent “Meet the Zee” podcast episode.  

When the pandemic hit and everything shut down, Gagliano made the decision not to go back to her previous career. She chose to give 100% of herself to the business.  Powills asked Gagliano, “What does winning look like for you?”  Jeanine replies, “Well, I own five territories, so the scaling is done. My goal now is to help as many people as possible. In a staff meeting, I reminded them why we answer the phone with, “How may I help you?” It’s a privilege to help someone, even if it’s not with our service — maybe by referring them to an elder care attorney or helping with a move. Whether it’s a caregiver or client, they’re equally important. “How may I help you?” is my honor and privilege, and it feels just as good even if it doesn’t lead to business.

When asked about the support Gagliano receives from Right at Home Corporate, she replied, “Yes, they have weekly calls to update us on innovations and monthly calls with my coach — sometimes more frequently if they don’t know an answer, they’ll find it.”

Listen to the full webinar where Gagliano discusses why she selected Right at Home, her journey into franchising, and the advantages of selecting a national franchise brand. She also talks about her passion for her clients, her passion for improving the quality of life for her clients, and the compassion and empathy you must bring to the job.  It’s a heartwarming story.
