Fatema Kapasi Recognized for Exceptional Performance, Leadership and Community Impact

OMAHA, Neb. / DUBLIN, Ohio (March 24, 2026) — A Place At Home, an established home care franchise network serving communities across the country, is excited to announce that franchise owner Fatema Kapasi has been named a winner of the 2026 Franchisee Excellence Awards. This award honors the top 50 franchise owners across North America for exceptional business performance, leadership, community impact, and personal story. With over 120 submissions this year, earning a spot on the list is a notable achievement.

Kapasi, who opened A Place At Home – Dublin in 2023, quickly became one of the system’s most dynamic early-stage operators. Drawing on her 20-year career as a physical therapist, she built a care-driven, value-aligned team. She earned dozens of five-star reviews within her first six months, establishing her location as a trusted partner for seniors and families across Central Ohio.

Fatema exemplifies the very best of A Place At Home — excellence in care, compassion in leadership, and the discipline to keep improving as she grows,” said Dustin Distefano, COO of A Place At Home. “She’s built something special in her market, and her leadership strengthens our entire system.”

Kapasi’s leadership embodies A Place At Home’s mission of delivering high-quality, relationship-based home care. Now supported by Dovida, a global provider of person-centered care operating across seven international markets, the brand continues to grow its support, resources, and training for franchise owners nationwide.

“Caring for seniors has always been personal for me, and opening A Place At Home gave me a way to turn that passion into purpose,” said Fatema Kapasi, Owner of A Place At Home – Dublin. “Every family we support reminds me why this work matters. This award is an honor for me, but it really ties back to the caregivers who show up with compassion and integrity for the people who depend on us.”
