Letter from the Co-Founders
10 YEARS AGO – A Place At Home was founded.
The idea for A Place At Home was born because we were determined to find a better solution for others facing similar challenges in finding comprehensive, consistent, and continuous care for their loved ones. With that determination and drive, we have taken our Senior-Focused Care model from Omaha to 14 states across the country.
We truly believe we have the most amazing owners which always makes for the best convention in the industry! This year’s theme is NEXT LEVEL because with our first locations now doing over $1MM it’s time to start coaching, thinking, and preparing for that NEXT LEVEL of growth! Our hope for you at our annual convention is to set aside time to learn and grow as a leader. We hope you will discover new ideas and become reinvigorated to build towards a stronger future after you leave the convention.
More importantly, this time is meant for all of you to get to know each other and to know that you’re never alone. We will grow together, have fun together, and celebrate each other’s achievements together!
Lastly, we want to personally thank the many great sponsors who continue to partner with us to support our franchisees and this convention. Your attendance is a testament to your commitment to our APAH Franchise system.
Together we have done amazing things, and we can’t wait to see what the coming decades have in store for us.
Sincerely,

Dustin Distefano, CEO

Jerod Evanich, President
