Right at Home – making a difference in the local community
Now an award-winning franchise owner, Andrew Davis saw active Service in the Balkans and Iraq and later trained officers to command troops in operation.
In the 10 years since his resettlement, he has built a highly successful business, delivering high quality homecare, enabling vulnerable people to retain their independence and remain in their own homes.
“I chose franchising because being ‘the master of my own destiny’ is important to me,” says Andrew. “Right at Home offers a lot of support, which allowed me to be my own boss and follow my passion. By offering local jobs, community engagement, and the best in quality care, we really have made a difference to my local community.”
Right at Home suits Andrew, as his public service ethos sits well in a system that allows him to think outside the box and go the extra mile for clients. One example of this is a partnership with the South Western Ambulance Service that enables them, in certain circumstances, to carefully lift from the floor, someone who has fallen – avoiding ambulance call-outs.
“I’m really proud of the business I have built over the last nine years. Highlights have included getting an Outstanding rating from the Care Quality Commission, winning a Service Leaver Franchisee of the Year Award and reaching the finals of the BFA Franchisee of the Year Award, but the real icing on the cake is seeing the impact that great quality care has on the lives of our clients and their families.”
