In an era where healthcare often feels rushed and impersonal, one Franklin-based company is bringing back the house call, with a luxurious, deeply personal twist. At the helm of this movement is Emily Manning, PA-C, owner of homeRN Franklin, a concierge caregiving service that’s redefining home care across Williamson County.
“I’ve always loved being a Physician Assistant, but what really fulfills me is the relationship side of medicine,” Manning says, her voice equal parts conviction and compassion. “homeRN was born out of a desire to bridge clinical excellence with deeply personal caregiving—and bring that directly into people’s homes.”
As both a practicing Physician Assistant and business owner, Manning infuses every aspect of homeRN Franklin with her clinical expertise. Her background in urology and breast cancer care opened her eyes to a growing need: not just for competent home caregivers, but for ones who truly understand complex medical issues and the emotional toll they can take on families.
“My training helps me serve not only as a provider, but as an advocate and liaison,” she explains. “Families often feel overwhelmed navigating medical care. We’re here to take that pressure off and ensure nothing gets lost in translation.”
Unlike traditional home care services, homeRN Franklin offers a concierge caregiving model, a term that might be new to some, but one that’s rapidly gaining traction among families who want more than routine care. “It’s not a one-size-fits-all approach,” Manning says. “We build real relationships with our clients. When they call, they don’t get a call center, they speak directly with someone who knows them personally.”
That level of connection is what differentiates homeRN Franklin. Each client is thoughtfully matched with a caregiver based on needs, personality, and preferences. And while homeRN Franklin certainly covers daily essentials like personal hygiene, light housekeeping, and meal prep, their team is also trained to provide specialized medical support. From catheter and wound care to post-surgical recovery and in-home IV therapy, the company merges the convenience of home care with the confidence of clinical oversight.
“We’re one of the few providers in Williamson County offering a unique blend of medically focused caregiving and skilled nursing as part of our comprehensive home care services,” Manning says. “Clients can receive everything from medication administration to urgent care visits all without leaving their house.”
That flexibility and depth of care come as a relief to many families facing a patchwork of appointments, transportation challenges, and emotional strain. Manning’s team doesn’t just fill gaps, they offer peace of mind.
“Our Registered Nurse, Bailey, is a shining example of what we look for,” Manning shares. “She came to us with extensive experience in oncology and immediately connected with our clients. Her warmth, attention to detail, and medical knowledge make her an incredible asset.”
Hiring the right people is central to homeRN Franklin’s mission. “We only bring on caregivers we’d trust in our own loved one’s home,” she emphasizes. “Compassion and integrity are non-negotiable.”
But homeRN Franklin’s impact isn’t only measured in professional standards, it’s in the quiet reassurance they provide at 2 a.m. when a client isn’t feeling well. It’s in consistent communication with family members who live out of state. And it’s in the dignity they help preserve during life’s most vulnerable chapters.
“We offer 24/7 access to myself or our RN,” Manning says. “Not just in theory, but in practice. If there’s a medical concern, we’re there day or night. That kind of access is rare, and it matters.”
For families weighing their options, Manning’s advice is simple: do your homework, and don’t settle. “There are wonderful care providers out there,” she says. “But look for the one that truly aligns with your values and needs. If your loved one has medical complexities, make sure the team you choose is equipped to handle them.”
And for those wondering whether homeRN Franklin is the right fit, Manning extends a personal invitation. “Call me. Let’s talk. Even if you just need guidance or don’t know where to start, I’m happy to meet for coffee and listen,” she says. “Our goal isn’t to sell you a service, it’s to help you find the right solution.”
From the first phone call to the final recovery milestone, homeRN Franklin’s commitment is unwavering. “When a family lets us into their home, they’re placing a huge amount of trust in us,” Manning says. “That’s sacred. And we honor that trust every single day.”
In a community known for its warmth, charm, and strong family ties, homeRN Franklin is providing something equally vital: professional care delivered with a neighbor’s heart. And for the families of Williamson County, that’s a house call worth answering.
