The Roedigers have a fast-growing Home Instead business in Montgomery and parts of Greene counties. They plan to hire between 20 and 30 additional caregivers and two more office employees, and are tripling their office space this year. They expect to double revenue from about $500,000 to $1 million in 2006 and expand into Miami County.

"The Dayton franchise is one of our younger franchises," said Home Instead President Roger Baumgart. "For their level, their performance puts them in a pretty good bracket with some of the leading franchises that we have."
