About A Place At Home Franchise

A Place At Home co-founders and childhood friends Dustin Distefano and Jerod Evanich knew firsthand that senior-focused care in America was failing. After several attempts at finding acceptable care for their loved ones, they were unable to meet their family members’ needs. Dustin and Jerod met for lunch to exchange stories. Both were determined to find solutions for others facing similar challenges and the idea for A Place At Home was born: senior-focused care that is comprehensive, consistent and continuous. They founded A Place At Home in 2012, expanded their service lines, developed multiple payer sources, and built a continuum of care now known as Senior-Focused Care.

A Place At Home’s Senior-Focused Care model offers a continuum of care services, including:

• In Home Care
• Care Coordination
• Senior Living Alternatives
• Staffing

The Senior-Focused Care model was further refined and the co-founders began franchising in 2017. A Place At Home launched three territories in 2018 and six in 2019. By 2020, the brand has launched or is launching four more territories.

Why Choose A Place At Home Franchise?

Over the next 30 years, the 65 and over population will nearly triple with more seniors opting to stay at home as they age. Demand for a variety of in-home services will continue to rise all across the country. Families are drawn to companies that meet several needs at the same time. Prospective business owners can be sure that A Place At Home’s continuum of care meets seniors where they are and enables them to age in place gracefully.
