Our People

Owner

Tim was born and raised in Los Angeles and has lived in Santa Monica and West Los Angeles for over 20 years. He graduated from Cal State-Northridge before attending grad school at UNC-Chapel Hill, earning two master’s degrees in Business and Health Administration. After spending over a decade working as Director of Operations for United Healthcare, he decided he had the experience to pursue a dream of owning a health care business and opened his Right at Home office in 2011.

Tim’s mother was a nurse and he has several siblings and extended family in the medical field, so he was always attracted to healthcare as a profession. He felt too disconnected from patient care while working for a large insurance company. Right at Home is a very fulfilling experience for Tim because he enjoys having more of a direct impact and seeing the results of helping people.

Tim’s family and community are very important to him.  His wife is a prominent Veterinarian in Santa Monica and his daughter is a student at Saint Monica Preparatory.

Tim believes in volunteering and giving back to the community. He and his office staff seek community outreach opportunities – everything from volunteering at assisted living centers, to participating in 5K run/walk fundraisers. Tim worked with Team in Training which trains participants for endurance events; in exchange the participants raise funds for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. For nearly 10 years he coached people on how to do triathlons. His motivation is helping people learn a new sport, get out of their comfort zone and at the same time raise money for a great cause. He’s coached more than 500 people who have raised over $3 million for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.

Director of Community Relations

Wearing my heart on my sleeve has always been Michelle’s trade mark.

Coming from a long career in sales it has taught Michelle that when you love what you do you never work a day in your life!

Recently, Michelle had watched a loved one depart our world and experienced firsthand the caregiver world, from the hospital, assisted living and finally hospice care, where at times “over promising yet under delivering” can cause a major loss which made Michelle want to “get involved” in inspiring and encouraging change in this field.

Caregiving is not a job but a career, where you get the opportunity to support both the Healthcare advocates and the families in need.

Michelle’s years of leading and mentoring a team gives  her confidence that she can, contribute to her new role in client relations where her compassion, empathy not to mention Michelle’s tenacity and self motivation and big smile will ensure both the families and healthcare personnel and facilities receive the best of both worlds.

Field Supervisor

Wiley joined the team in 2014 as a Field Supervisor. He worked for many years in a large healthcare organization which is why this was such an easy transition for him. As a Field Supervisor, Wiley spends most of his time working with our current clients; checking in on their care and assessing any changing needs they may have. When he visits, he also ensures any protective supplies are readily available for both the client and caregiver such as gloves, masks, hand sanitizer, etc. It is our goal to keep our clients as safe and protected as possible in the environment they are in and Wiley is instrumental in doing so.

Wiley will also sometimes work directly with a client, although rare, these times ensure that he is in touch with what our caregivers go through so he can offer suggestions for improvement with both the client’s care and the caregivers skills. Wiley’s upbeat and positive attitude along with his infectious smile ensures our clients and caregivers feel welcomed and appreciated. He looks forward to serving all our clients and caregivers whether new or established.
