Right at Home Franchise Owners Celebrate Second Career Success

Jeanine Gagliano and her husband Tony were both working their way up the ladder in their respective careers before choosing to shift gears and become Right at Home franchise owners. Tony was working on Wall Street, eventually becoming a manager at a big bank, and Jeanine was working in the entertainment industry as a television commercial producer. Although they both felt successful, the draining commute, long hours, and lack of flexibility with their schedules increasingly became a burden for them, especially after having children.

The two began researching other options and quickly learned the healthcare industry was–and still is–a growing segment of the economy, considering the “silver tsunami” of baby boomers aging into retirement en masse.

Right At Home Franchisee, Jeanin…
