Revenue model

1. Franchise Fees and Royalty Revenue: Right at Home generates revenue through a franchise business model. Prospective franchise owners pay an initial franchise fee to acquire a territory, followed by ongoing royalty payments based on franchise revenue. The company awards new territories (24 awarded in 2025, targeting 24+ in 2026) and collects resales (approximately 22 completed in 2025). This is the primary revenue mechanism for the franchisor.
2. In-Home Care Service Fees: Locally owned and operated Right at Home offices bill clients for in-home care services. Services are typically billed on an hourly basis, with invoices sent weekly after service completion. Hourly rates vary by geographic location, licensing requirements, number of care hours, visit frequency, and types of services needed. Revenue flows to individual franchise offices.

Broad incumbents

• Amedisys: Amedisys is a publicly traded home health and hospice provider with national scale and Medicare reimbursement relationships. It competes with Right at Home's nursing and post-acute services lines (skilled nursing, hospital-to-home), but focuses on Medicare-certified home health rather than private-duty personal care.
