## Story

A Place At Home is kicking off August with the opening of five new franchise locations. The new locations include the first-ever Georgia office and two each in Pennsylvania and Texas. They all begin serving the senior population on August 1.

- Alpharetta, Georgia - owned and operated by Zechariah Lockett and Kimberly Johnson

- Sugar Land, Texas - owned and operated by Neil Patel

- Cypress, Texas - owned and operated by Marc and Tina Morris

- Glenside, Pennsylvania - owned and operated by Tawanda Hennix

- Langhorne, Pennsylvania - owned and operated Chioma Iwuoha

“We’re thrilled to have these motivated entrepreneurs who are passionate about serving the senior community join our franchise network,” said Dustin Distefano, CEO and co-founder of A Place At Home. “We look forward to watching them grow their businesses and become local leaders within the senior care industry.”

Distefano and his childhood friend Jerod Evanich co-founded A Place At Home after sharing their struggles with finding quality care for their grandparents. They opened their Omaha, Nebraska, location in 2012. After experiencing demand and success in Omaha, they realized they could replicate their senior-focused care model in other communities, so they began franchising in 2017.

“Many of our franchisees share similar experiences with senior care as Dustin and me, and we’re excited to partner with them to provide exceptional care to communities nationwide,” said Jerod Evanich, president and co-founder of A Place At Home. “Our support and training programs ensure that each franchisee is well-prepared to meet the needs of their market and has the tools to grow a thriving business.”
