# Local Entrepreneur Earns Franchise Rock Star Award

**TL;DR:** A Place At Home franchise owner Fatema Kapasi has won the Franchise Rock Star Award after receiving 30 five-star reviews in her first six months of operation. Kapasi's franchise provides senior-focused care services, including in-home care and care coordination, in the Dublin area.

## Story

Hiring caregivers was one of Kapasi’s biggest challenges, but she persisted in finding quality caregivers who embodied A Place At Home’s values. It paid off, as she’s received an unprecedented 30 five-star reviews in the first six months of operation.

“I’m incredibly proud of the work our caregivers perform at our clients’ homes, and it’s heartwarming to watch the bonds between the caregivers and clients form,” said Kapasi. “I’ve seen how the care significantly improves their quality of life and can’t wait to continue for years to come.”

Kapasi understands what her clients’ families are going through because when it came time to find her father-in-law, who has Parkinson’s disease, an in-home caregiver, it was tough to find quality care in the Dublin area.

Before pursuing her entrepreneurial dream, Kapasi had a 20-year career in healthcare as a licensed physical therapist and healthcare marketer. Her work in diverse healthcare settings, including skilled nursing and assisted living facilities, gave her a deep understanding of the critical need for quality senior care.

“We’re just getting started here in Dublin, and this award is motivating to continue pushing the boundaries of quality care and innovation in the senior care industry,” said Kapasi.

Kapasi and her team of compassionate caregivers help seniors age in place by offering a comprehensive range of senior-focused care services. These services include in-home care, care coordination, senior living alternatives, and staffing solutions, and they are all designed to offer personalized guidance throughout the aging journey.

“Fatema is extremely deserving of this award as she’s excelled in her first six months as a franchise owner,” said Jerod Evanich, president and co-founder of A Place At Home. “Her dedication to serving her community with only the best caregivers she can find makes her an ideal A Place At Home franchisee; we’re excited to continue watching her business grow.”
