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.
