A Place At Home Debuts on 2026 Inc. 5000 List of America’s Fastest-Growing Private Companies

The recognition marks a milestone for A Place At Home, which was founded in Omaha by childhood friends Dustin Distefano and Jerod Evanich. What started as a local senior care company has grown into a national franchise system with more than 50 locations across 22 states, united around a mission of helping seniors remain safe, supported and as independent as possible at home.

A Place At Home also ranked in its healthcare and medical category, as well as in Omaha and Nebraska on the 2026 Inc. 5000.

“This recognition is a major moment for A Place At Home and the team that built this company from the ground up,” said Mike Boyer, CEO of Dovida North America. “A Place At Home has always had the heart of a smaller, founder-led organization, paired with the ambition and discipline to grow the right way. Debuting on the Inc. 5000 and ranking among the top healthcare and medical companies on the list is an achievement this entire team should be incredibly proud of. It reflects smart growth, strong franchise owners and a deep belief in helping seniors and families.”

A Place At Home’s growth has been fueled by rising demand for home-based senior care and a franchise model designed to support local owners as they serve families in their communities. The brand provides personalized services that include companion care, help with daily activities, medication reminders, meal preparation, transportation, respite care, care coordination, live-in care options and assistance with identifying senior living options when needed.

“When A Place At Home began, Jerod and I believed senior care could be more personal, responsive and supportive for families,” said Dustin Distefano, COO and co-founder of A Place At Home. “This ranking means so much because it reflects years of hard work by a team deeply committed to our mission. We have grown thoughtfully, built strong local businesses and stayed focused on the families we serve. We thank our franchise owners, caregivers and everyone who helped bring this brand to this point.”

With Dovida’s support and global experience, A Place At Home is positioned to build on its momentum while continuing to invest in franchise owner support, caregiver development, operational strength and high-quality care for seniors and families.
