Right at Home

When Shalom Plotkin and his wife, Elise Braverman-Plotkin, returned to Cleveland in 2014, they did so with a personal mission. As Elise's father battled Parkinson's disease, the family experienced firsthand the importance of dependable, compassionate home care. They quickly realized how much of a difference the right support could make, not only for older adults but also for the loved ones caring for them. At the same time, they discovered there was no Right at Home serving Cleveland's east side. Inspired by their family's experience and a shared calling to help others, they opened their Right at Home office and began building a team dedicated to helping seniors live safely and independently wherever they call home.

Today, Right at Home Cleveland East and Right at Home Highland Heights offices proudly serve families throughout Cleveland's east side. For Shalom, whose background includes service as a military chaplain and counselor, the most rewarding moments are often the simplest: helping a client avoid a fall, stay on track with medications, enjoy a good meal, or simply have someone to talk with. He believes what truly sets their office apart is the strength of the relationships they build. Many caregivers and team members have been with the organization for years, providing the continuity, trust, and familiarity that clients and families value. Through ongoing training, caregiver support, and a culture that celebrates the people delivering care each day, Shalom and Elise have created a team focused on making a meaningful difference, one client, one caregiver, and one day at a time.

As Parkinson's disease progresses, care must evolve too.

Join this free CE webinar on October 14 to better understand the physical, cognitive, and emotional changes that can impact safety and quality of life. Attendees will leave with practical tools to support individuals living with Parkinson's and the families who care for them.

As the owner of Right at Home Louisville, Frankfort, and Elizabethtown in Kentucky, Brad Cannon brings nearly 30 years of experience in senior care, home care, and business ownership to the families his team serves.

Brad began his career in senior care by spending seven years leading nursing homes, where he saw firsthand how many older adults wanted the opportunity to remain independent in their own homes. That experience led him into home care, where he spent the next 20 years owning and operating a successful home care business.

In 2024, Brad became the owner of Right at Home Louisville and later expanded his ownership to include the Frankfort and Elizabethtown locations. Today, he leads an experienced team that brings decades of combined experience in home care, including several leaders who began their careers as caregivers. Together, they remain focused on helping seniors and adults with disabilities continue living safely and comfortably at home. 🧡✨

Join us in wishing them success!

Amie, a caregiver with Right at Home Rhome, TX, is always looking for creative ways to keep Mr. Billy active, engaged, and enjoying each day. Knowing how important both movement and recreation are, she purchased an indoor bowling set with her own money to create a special activity just for him.

After transforming the hallway into a makeshift bowling lane, Amie spent the day by Mr. Billy's side, resetting pins, returning the ball, and cheering him on with every turn. Her patience and enthusiasm helped make the experience both fun and accessible.

What made the day special wasn't the bowling itself. It was the attention and care Amie put into creating an experience centered around what would bring Mr. Billy happiness. Her kindness turned an ordinary day into a memory worth celebrating, and Mr. Billy thoroughly enjoyed every moment.

Stories like this are a reminder that sometimes the smallest gestures can make the biggest difference in one's quality of life. 🧡🩵

Unfortunately, some older adults experience bullying through exclusion, rumors, intimidation, or other harmful behaviors. By recognizing the signs early, families and caregivers can help foster a more supportive environment where older adults feel respected and valued. ✨
