WAUKESHA – When Jon Bain looks eastward toward Milwaukee
County, he sees a need for the in-home assistance his
business, Right at Home, offers the elderly who want to
remain in their homes versus moving into assisted
living.
Bain, who has owned the Waukesha location of the
franchised Right at Home for three years, will be
expanding his services into Milwaukee County and adding
about 50 new positions over the next year.
“There are always people who are aging and need
services,” he said.
He said he plans to continue to operate out his location
at
20720 Watertown Road, but may eventually move to a
more central location.
Milwaukee County, Bain said, has a need for the services
Right at Home offers and has the population to support
his expansion.
Right at Home offers several home care services,
including companionship, physical assistance, hygiene
and wellness. The business also provides home care for
Alzheimer’s and other dementia, stroke, diabetes, heart
disease, mental health, hospice and cancer recovery.
“If we can keep them in their homes versus moving into
assisted living they tend to do better,” Bain said.
Bain said his business is growing so he is always hiring
new caregivers.
“It can be a rewarding job to go in and help people in
their homes,” he said.
