$1B firm surges in Sarasota

SARASOTA — The Sarasota franchise unit of Right at Home, an in-home care services firm with a focus on elderly clients, recently surpassed a major milestone: The unit broke into the top 5% in annual sales among the company's 273 franchised locations.

The Right at Home branch serves Charlotte and Sarasota counties, and offers some services in Manatee County. It's run by Michael Juceam, a onetime corporate and securities attorney who previously founded a Web-based document management firm specializing in health care and financial services.

The franchise, says Juceam, has grown sales at least 30% in each of the last three years. In an interview today with the Business Review, Juceam declines to disclose specific annual sales, though he says his franchise does between $3 million and $10 million in sales a year.
