FBR: Holly Holton, Named Rookie of the Year

Holly Holton was recently named Rookie of the Year by the corporate office, an annual award the brand gives to franchise owners who’ve demonstrated remarkable financial performance, dedication to clients and caregivers, and outstanding contributions to the organization’s mission.

With Holly Holton’s deep knowledge of the healthcare sector and commitment to developing outstanding caregivers, it’s unsurprising that her South Columbus, Ohio, Right at Home location is one of the fastest-growing franchises in the company’s network. Holly was recently named Rookie of the Year by the corporate office, an annual award the brand gives to franchise owners who’ve demonstrated remarkable financial performance, dedication to clients and caregivers, and outstanding contributions to the organization’s mission. Not only has Holly’s commitment to excellence, hard work, and passion for providing top-notch care to seniors and adults with disabilities set her apart, but her Right at Home franchise has also earned the most revenue in its first year of business.

Initially, Holly and a colleague were looking at ways they could bring therapy services to seniors when outpatient clinics shut down due to COVID-19. That’s when Holly started meeting with in-home care companies and looking at several senior care franchises before choosing Right at Home.

“Right at Home matched my values and goals,” she said. “It was the right fit!”

After talking with multiple Right at Home franchise owners and learning about the extensive support the franchise provides its franchisees, Holly discovered that the company had an open location in her area.

While confident that she could manage and grow a business, being a part of Right at Home allowed her to hit the ground running, launch her website quickly, develop a marketing plan, meet state licensure requirements, and set up her accounting and scheduling systems. Now that she’s in business and growing, Right at Home tailors support to meet her changing needs.

Holly credits her background in health care for her franchise’s rapid growth. In her previous career, she has already connected with key referral sources, including skilled nursing facilities and physician groups. She also understood how insurance worked and could easily communicate with referral partners.
