Owners, Chris and Lynnette Slagle
The Arcadia/Central Phoenix office of Right at Home is a locally owned and operated franchise office of Right at Home, Inc., a senior home care & staffing company providing care since 1995. Our mission is to improve the quality of life for those we serve. We do that by providing high quality in-home caregivers to serve you.
Chris Slagle left the corporate world after working in travel consulting for 25+ years. Chris and Lynnette saw the need for helping seniors as their own parents are aging and want to stay in their home. The Right at Home opportunity was a perfect fit. He decided to open a franchise to reach out to an important segment of the Phoenix population as well as make a difference in the community. The opportunity to empower Arcadia/Central Phoenix seniors to stay in their own homes was very compelling.
Chris and Lynnette have lived in the Arcadia area for almost 30 years together, and Lynnette was born and raised in the area. After teaching for 9 years in the Scottsdale district, Lynnette joined the Right at Home team full-time.
Chris and Lynnette have 3 adult children, 1 grandchild and 1 energetic Black Lab. In their free time enjoy traveling, hiking and being a part of their local church.
