Edwin Young, CSA, is the owner of Right at Home Austin West, an in-home care and assistance agency in Texas.

Personal experiences with family led him to a career in home care and to start his own in-home senior care agency with Right at Home, Inc. The challenges and opportunities that arose in running a home care company in a major city have led Young to expand his education and experience in order to deal with these challenges. He specializes in issues related to Social Security, taxes, Medicaid, long-term care, difficult behaviors in seniors, common caregiving problems and home safety.
