For Yamna Khan and Georges Rosemond, supporting others is a deeply rooted family value. As the wife and brother of physicians and watching parents age, they’ve gained a close-up view of the challenges seniors face when trying to remain in their homes. Hearing firsthand accounts from their loved ones working in hospital settings, they recognized a common and pressing issue: many older adults are forced into difficult transitions simply because their homes aren’t equipped to support safe, independent living.Determined to make a difference, Rosemond and Khan found&nbsp;<a href="https://www.trubluefranchise.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=family-brings-trublue-franchise-to-north-central-nassau-2729593" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">TruBlue Home Service Ally</a>, a franchise that focuses on preventive home modifications and maintenance services to help seniors stay safe and independent. The brand’s mission resonated deeply with them, and now, as the new owners of&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/trubluehomeserviceally/info">TruBlue</a> of North Central Nassau, they’re excited to bring this essential service to their community.1851 spoke with the duo to learn more about their backgrounds, what drew them to the brand and their plans for the future.&nbsp;1851 Franchise: Frame your personal story for us. What do you want us to know?Yamna Khan: Our journey with TruBlue is rooted in a shared commitment to helping others—something that runs deep in both our families. For us, Yamna Khan and Georges Rosemond, supporting others isn’t just a value; it’s a way of life. As the wife and brother of physicians, we've had a front-row seat to the realities many seniors face when trying to age in place. Through stories shared by our loved ones working in hospital settings, we came to understand a troubling pattern: too many older adults are forced to leave their homes not because of health crises, but because their living spaces aren't designed to support aging safely and independently.This realization inspired us to take action. We saw an opportunity with TruBlue to bridge the gap between health care and home care—offering practical, preventative solutions that help seniors maintain their independence and dignity. For us, it’s more than a business. It’s a mission to extend the care our families have always provided into the homes of others in our community.1851: What was your perception of franchising prior to becoming a franchisee, and what do you want people to know about franchising now that you are in it?Georges Rosemond: I’ve always been interested in franchising, but I wanted something that felt meaningful. From our very first interactions with TruBlue, I could tell they weren’t just about making money — they truly believe in their mission. That made all the difference for us. Starting a business is overwhelming, but they provide so much support to make sure you succeed. Everything just aligned, and we knew this was the right path.1851: What made you pick this brand? What excites you most about this company?Khan: There are so many companies out there that serve the senior population, but most of them focus on care after something happens. We wanted to be part of the preventative solution. Our loved ones see it all the time — nine out of ten hospital visits for seniors are related to falls. If we can make their homes safer, we can reduce those risks and keep people out of the hospital. That’s why TruBlue made sense.1851: What do you hope to achieve with your business? What are your plans for growth?Rosemond: Our goal is to give back by becoming a trusted resource for families—especially seniors—who want to age in place safely, through a franchise focused on preventive home modifications and maintenance services. We want to make home feel like a sanctuary again. We truly believe in what TruBlue offers and know there are so many people who could benefit from these services. While we’re currently focused on getting the word out and establishing ourselves in the community, we’d love to expand in the future.1851: Is there anything else about your story you want us to know?Khan: We want to be the trusted, go-to resource for our clients. Even for busy professionals like myself, little household tasks pile up. Finding someone reliable to handle them can be stressful. We want to be the&nbsp;solution&nbsp;— the people you can always count on.For more information on franchising with TruBlue, visit:&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/trubluehomeserviceally">https://1851franchise.com/trubluehomeserviceally</a>.About TruBlue Home Service Ally:&nbsp;TruBlue Home Service Ally® provides a unique and affordable approach to helping busy adults and seniors live a worry-free life by offering trustworthy handyman, home maintenance and senior modification services.
