Birmingham, AL (January 13, 2025) – homeRN, a leading provider of concierge-level in-home healthcare and caregiving services, is thrilled to announce the grand openings of its newest locations in Franklin and Nashville, Tennessee. Officially opening today, these franchises are led by skilled healthcare professionals Aubrey Austin, CRNP, and Emily Manning, PA-C, who are committed to elevating the quality of in-home care in their local communities.

Aubrey Austin is a Nashville native and a licensed women’s health nurse practitioner with a Master’s in Science of Nursing from Vanderbilt University. After years of serving families at St. Thomas Rutherford and Vanderbilt, Austin is eager to apply her education and experience to the Nashville community with in-home services.

“During high school, my grandmother lived with us for four years after my grandfather passed away. I experienced first-hand the benefit of caregiving in the home and the impact that it had on her quality of life,” Austin said. “I also noticed the strain and stress it brought my parents. I often dreamt of a solution that would allow my grandmother to stay in the home without the familial stress.” As a homeRN franchisee Austin will be the perfect fit providing care and relief to families in Nashville.

Emily Manning, homeRN Franklin franchisee, is a seasoned Physician Assistant with experience in urology and breast cancer care. Originally from Montgomery, AL, Manning has built a career serving elderly patients and understands the critical need for quality, in-home healthcare in Franklin. “While working in urology, I frequently encountered older patients and witnessed firsthand the need for high-quality in-home care. Many patients and their families struggled to find reliable support, which highlighted the gap in available services,” Manning said. With both Manning’s experience and education, it’s clear she will create a better home-care experience for the people of Franklin and the surrounding areas.

The expansion of homeRN into Franklin and Nashville addresses a growing demand for personalized in-home healthcare solutions in the region. Both Austin and Manning see their respective territories as ideal locations for homeRN’s comprehensive services, which include in-home 24-7 caregiving, post-operative care, chronic illness management, urgent care, IV therapy, and more.

In Franklin, Manning highlights a similar need. “Franklin’s senior population is expanding, creating a demand for reliable caregiving services. I am excited to bring homeRN’s high standard of personalized care to our community, enabling families to provide the best possible care for their loved ones,” she said.

“With Nashville’s rapid growth, there is an urgent need for third-party support that can ease the transition from hospital discharge to at-home management,” Austin said. “homeRN Nashville will help reduce strain on local hospitals by offering non-emergent care in the home, providing timely support to patients who would otherwise face long wait times for appointments.”

"These two women are exactly what we look for when it comes to adding new franchisees with high intelligence, personal experience in the nursing or medical field, and possess a deep desire to improve the quality of lives," Eliza Maxwell, Founder and CEO of homeRN, said. "They both have the drive, expertise, and are natural culture fits for elevating the homeRN brand.” 

With the openings of homeRN Franklin and homeRN Nashville, homeRN's reach now extends to ten locations across the Southeast, providing concierge-level care to even more communities. For more information or to schedule an in-home consultation, visit www.homerncare.com.
