— Franchise Now has released a compelling new episode of its Franchise Marketing Radio podcast, featuring Radfield Home Care Co-Founder and CEO, Alex Green. The interview offers a human-centered discussion about balancing compassion with innovation. Green brings a unique perspective to franchising, informed by a life spent around care services and a career spanning financial services, community media, and emerging tech.

Radfield Home Care was founded by Alex and his sister, Dr. Hannah MacKechnie, as an extension of their upbringing in their parents’ residential care home. This early exposure to elder care taught them the value of intergenerational relationships and a lifelong commitment to dignity and quality. What began as a family mission became a scalable franchise model in 2017, when they chose franchising as the ideal method to expand their impact with purpose-led partners across the UK.
During the interview, Green discusses how Radfield has integrated artificial intelligence into core areas of the business without compromising its human-first values. One milestone occurred when AI helped generate 30 web pages in just three days—cutting weeks off a typical production timeline. This real-world success helped internal teams embrace the practical benefits of automation.
Green emphasizes that AI doesn’t replace care; it amplifies the team’s ability to provide it. Radfield built detailed AI prompt libraries to empower franchisees of all skill levels to create compelling, localized content. These tools help individual franchise owners maintain a strong regional presence while aligning with national brand messaging. Franchisees are also trained to use AI voice tools to streamline tasks like brainstorming and scripting, helping them communicate more clearly and frequently.
The company’s AI adoption has always been grounded in enhancing—never replacing—the human connection that defines care delivery. With that principle in mind, Radfield is also testing predictive analytics and behavioral monitoring in home care. These tools aim to detect signs of illness or risk, such as sleep disruptions or decreased mobility, before they become emergencies. Though still in development, these innovations point toward a proactive future in elder care.
AI is also helping Radfield modernize operations. Green used generative tools to prototype internal diagnostic software that helps franchisees troubleshoot business issues without needing technical help. These tools create actionable reports based on input, making operational support faster and more accessible. That same logic is now being applied to Radfield’s operations manual, which is being transformed into a searchable AI tool using Google’s NotebookLM. Instead of combing through lengthy documents, franchisees will soon be able to ask questions and receive instant answers from the company’s standard procedures and documentation.
Radfield Home Care’s approach is firmly rooted in purpose.

Green acknowledges that AI adoption often begins with skepticism. Many team members initially questioned its quality or felt uneasy using it. Over time, as the technology proved its value, internal culture shifted. Today, franchisees are introduced to AI tools from day one as part of their onboarding and daily toolkit. Even those with little to no technical background are learning to use voice-activated assistants to improve hiring, planning, and marketing. The shift from hesitance to confidence is now commonplace.
One example Green shares in the interview is a franchisee who was overwhelmed by operational stress and personal challenges. During a site visit, Green introduced her to AI in voice mode—an anonymous, always-available sounding board. Over time, the assistant became a resource for coaching, content creation, and confidence-building. The story shows how AI, when humanized and personalized, can support not just productivity—but mental resilience and personal growth.
The episode also explores Radfield’s perspective on future trends. Green touches on robotics, data privacy, and secure AI integration within care environments. He envisions a future in which tools like Tesla’s Optimus or Figure AI help with household tasks while humans continue to provide relational care. His view is that technology should give people more time to do what matters—connect, serve, and build trust—not remove that responsibility.
Looking forward, Radfield remains focused on delivering exceptional care through exceptional people. Its mission to help the nation age well hasn’t changed—but the tools to deliver on it are evolving. With AI improving content creation, diagnostics, onboarding, and scalability, Radfield shows that values-based franchising and tech adoption can go hand in hand.
Franchise Now’s episode with Alex Green offers a roadmap for other franchise systems seeking to innovate without alienating their culture or inflating their budget. It demonstrates that transformation doesn’t require enterprise-level tech investment. It requires leadership that embraces experimentation and empowers teams to grow. By anchoring its digital strategy in purpose and people, Radfield Home Care is setting a precedent for socially-conscious, tech-enabled franchising.
