Proudly Serving the Community for 20 Years
Right at Home Boston and North Co-Owners, Rosaleen Doherty and Jay Kenney
“As we chose our life path, we knew we wanted to be close to our local community on the North Shore and have a vocation that really mattered in the bigger scheme of things. For all these years, we have had the honor of serving seniors and their families when they are in crisis. Nothing could be more important. Today, we are now serving all the towns Boston and North and in the Merrimack Valley. Daily, we get to teach our children, Noah and Gabrielle, what it means to help others and be a power of good in our community. Right at Home is the vehicle we utilize to do good for others.” - Rosaleen
Jay Kenney, a Medford native, and Rosaleen Doherty came to the North Shore in 1995 to start their married life. Both were business professionals heavily involved in the “dot-com” world of the nineties and lived to experience the real highs and lows of American business life during that time. In a moment of “what’s next”, Jay and Rosaleen started to reassess what type of life they wanted together and for their young family. The values they wanted to live were close family, close community and service. Right at Home was started on the North Shore in 2002 to live those values and serve the senior community. In 2006, they opened their Right at Home to serve the Merrimack Valley and in 2010 they opened Right at Home of Wakefield. Today, they serve about 500 families a week in all towns Boston and North and employ upwards of 200 people. Rosaleen and Jay reside in Marblehead with their two children. Right at Home serves seniors and their families, while fulfilling the family values set by Jay and Rosaleen over a decade ago.
