Alison and Joe Bakey opened up their first Right at Home franchise in Media Pennsylvania January 2004. Joe had a business, sales and marketing background and Alison had worked in acute care and rehabilitation settings. Both had aging parents with healthcare issues that led to them to move back home to New Jersey from Maryland in 2003. Combining knowledge from their professional and personal backgrounds enabled them to begin the task of building a non-medical home care agency that could provide services to all of Delaware County, Pa.

The business began providing homemaker services immediately. By May of that year, Joe realized that there was an even greater need for personal care services to the elderly in their homes. So, certified nursing assistance (CNA) and home health aid services were added to the business model. Now, in addition to providing meal preparation, errand running and house cleaning, RAH could also do bath aid visits, personal care, and dressing assistance. Quickly the business began to grow! Services were implemented through hourly care and live-in care. A staff nurse was later brought on to provide supervisory visits, wellness care, RN assessments, and caregiver training.  One licensed social worker and a client care manager have also been added to the staff at RAH to further assure that the highest quality of services are being provided to each client and their families.

 
In early 2005 Right at Home became a official provider of homecare services to the Delaware County Office of Services for the Aging (COSA). This now afforded RAH the opportunity to help those senior citizens who meet medical assistance financial requirements, who may not have otherwise been able to afford their services. 

 
Through all RAH’s marketing efforts in acute care and rehabilitation facilities, it became apparent to Joe that there were a large number of families that were having problems managing the care of their aging family member’s healthcare needs, finances, etc. So, in March 2006, he founded an organization called Child of Aging Parents (COAP). The group topics include elder-law, reverse mortgage qualifications, rehabilitation /medicare/medicaid issues, home care agency services, and  financial planning .They meet monthly and invite anyone from the Delaware County area community to come and receive advise or referrals for their particular family member’s needs.

 
In order to be involved in the regulation and administering of homecare services, Joe started a local chapter of the National Private Duty Association (NPDA). His involvement is critical as Pennsylvania develops licensure regulation, caregiver management, and service delivery.

 
The Bakey’s opened their second office in New Castle County Delaware in January 2007. Like the Media Pa office, it is steadily growing and providing services to the local community.
