A Tampa Couple Are The New Owners Of Right At Home Care Giving

SUN CITY CENTER, FL — A Tampa Bay couple are the new owners of Right at Home, an in-home care franchise, in Sun City Center, a news release said.

Ok Azie and Kathleen Azie want to help seniors and adults with disabilities receive care in their own homes. Many families want their loved one to receive care at home as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, Right at Home staff said.

“As the baby boomer generation reaches its senior years, we’re seeing an increased demand for quality in-home care services across the country, and the Tampa Bay area is no exception,” Right at Home CEO and President Brian Petranick said. “This is a fantastic community, and Ok and Kathleen Azie and their team are dedicated to supporting the many families here.”

After growing up in Nigeria, Ok moved to the United States as a young adult and met his wife, Kathleen. Ok, a retired finance executive and professor, and Kathleen, a nurse practitioner said they wanted to combine their skills and passions.

“It was always my goal to purchase a business once I retired from my career, and growing up I had exposure to the medical industry with my dad, who was a physician, and my mom, who was a nurse,” Ok said. “I honed in my search on home health care franchises, and Right at Home repeatedly came up as a well-liked franchise. After speaking with the corporate team, I was sold on the brand and convinced I could help make a difference with the senior community in the area.”

The Azies are looking forward to assisting the senior community in Sun City Center with their Right at Home location.

Right at Home employs professionally trained caregivers to provide care and assistance to seniors and adults with disabilities who wish to remain in the comfort and safety of their own home or current living environment. With a presence in eight countries, Right at Home has become one of the world’s largest in-home care franchises, according to the company.
