Now, he’s expanding his impact with&nbsp;<a href="https://www.trubluefranchise.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=trublue-franchise-trey-keith-mt-juliet-2729785" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">TruBlue Home Service Ally</a>, a home maintenance and senior support business he’s bringing to Mt. Juliet. Inspired in part by the needs of his own 91-year-old grandmother, Keith is ready to become a trusted resource for homeowners, starting with the territory he’s always called home.1851 spoke with Keith to learn more about his background and his decision to franchise with&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/trubluehomeserviceally/info">TruBlue</a>. Here’s what he had to say:1851 Franchise: Frame your personal story for us. What do you want us to know?Trey Keith: I was raised in the territory we bought. Our family has really strong ties to the Mt. Juliet community. This is home.1851: What did you do before franchising, and how did you decide franchising made sense for you?Keith: I’ve spent most of my career as a diesel technician — 21 years doing that here in Nashville. My family owned the company I worked at, and we sold it back in December. After that, we started looking at other opportunities to give back to the community, and that’s how we found TruBlue. I’m also a part-owner in another franchise, Camp Bow Wow Mount Juliet, the doggy daycare business.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’re in it?Keith: My father owned the business I worked at, and I am part owner with my brother at Camp Bow Wow. We’ve always had that entrepreneurial mindset — we like being our own boss. And franchising really makes things so much easier, especially when you’re stepping into something you’re not super familiar with. It’s great to have that blueprint already laid out.1851: What made you pick this brand? What excites you most about this company?Keith: I was looking at different franchise options, and someone recommended TruBlue. The more we looked into it, the more it became a no-brainer. It checked every box — we wanted to do something that gave back to the community.A big part of TruBlue is helping seniors, people with disabilities stay in their homes, and simply helping busy people’s lives easier really resonated with us. It’s also scalable, and that was a huge plus. The possibilities with TruBlue are endless. Just like with Camp Bow Wow — we now have three locations — we plan to do the same with TruBlue.1851: What do you hope to achieve with your business? What are your plans for growth?Keith: We definitely want to open more territories and be the one-stop shop for anyone who needs home maintenance in our service area.1851: Is there anything else about your story you want us to know?Keith: I have a 91-year-old grandmother who lives by herself, about two hours away. Anytime she needs something, she’s calling someone in the family. That’s part of what made us look into TruBlue. We’ve known it’s an issue — dropping everything to go help isn’t always easy. So we saw this as a real solution for people in the same situation.1851: What advice do you have for other people thinking about becoming franchise owners?Keith: TruBlue has been awesome the whole way — anytime we had questions, they were there. From the top down, we knew we wanted to partner with someone who puts customer service first.If I had advice for myself, it’d be: just do it. I’ve got five kids and my wife, and looking at a new venture like this, you can hesitate. But if I had known how easy TruBlue would make it, I would’ve jumped in a lot sooner.<h3>About TruBlue Home Service Ally:</h3>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.

For&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/robert-campbell-0006ab45/">Robert Campbell</a>, a new&nbsp;<a href="https://www.trubluefranchise.com/">TruBlue Home Service Ally</a> franchisee in North Carolina, business has never been about transactions. It has always been about transformation.“I have always wanted to give back,” Campbell said. “I grew up in Missouri in poverty. I joined the Marine Corps and served in two wars. I spent over 20 years and retired as a major with a master’s degree. It wasn’t easy.”After retiring from the military, Campbell moved to Wilmington, North Carolina, where he became a pastor at a small church. Under his leadership, that church grew significantly and eventually built a multi-million-dollar complex. But even as the church expanded, his focus remained the same: serve people who need opportunity.“Since I got here, I’ve always been trying to help people,” he said.That commitment led him beyond ministry and into community development. Campbell built affordable housing for senior citizens using low-income tax credits. He purchased and renovated multifamily properties to lower rent. He developed a nonprofit,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.newhope-cdc.org/">New H.O.P.E. CDC</a>, centered around helping “ordinary people excel.” He is currently building 34 units of permanent housing for chronically homeless veterans, an $8 million project funded through grants he personally wrote.In every chapter of his life, service has been the through line. So when Campbell began exploring a workforce development program that would train people to repair homes and give them stable jobs, he assumed he would build it from scratch.“In trying to buy housing and build affordable housing, I was looking to start workforce development. I thought I would train people to fix houses and give them jobs,” he said. “But as I started writing up the program, it was so hard.”Then he saw&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/trubluehomeserviceally/info">TruBlue</a>, the senior handyman and home maintenance franchise. “I thought, ‘Wow, this is a business with a purpose,’” Campbell said. “You can merge service and community, that is my sweet spot.”<h2>A Five-Star Standard of Service</h2>Campbell didn’t just see a handyman business. He saw alignment with his values, his experience and his vision for impact. “I decided to look into TruBlue and I really liked the ethos, the integrity, all of those things,” he said. “We decided to go ahead and invest in the franchise.”For Campbell, the brand’s premium positioning was especially important. Years earlier, when building his church in Wilmington’s inner city, he faced skepticism from people who doubted what the space could become.“When I was starting our church, we were in the inner city and had bars in the windows. People were afraid to come there at night,” he said. “But I shared with our people that we were going to build a five-star church.”That same philosophy applies to his TruBlue business today. “<a href="https://1851franchise.com/trubluehomeserviceally/a-booming-industry-the-future-of-the-home-service-market-and-why-trublue-is-poised-to-lead-2730117">TruBlue is a five-star premium service</a>,” Campbell said. “We go a step above. We sweat the details and we come into people’s homes and we respect it. It’s not finished until we do our five-star walkaround.”For him, the service model is not just about repairs. It is about dignity. “What’s going to determine how the client feels about the job is how they feel about you,” he said. “That is why I teach five-star service. It’s about relationships. If we make good relationships, we can bring in repeat customers.” &nbsp;<h2>Serving the Silver Tsunami</h2>A major factor in Campbell’s decision to join TruBlue was its&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/trubluehomeserviceally/why-trublue-is-the-no-hassle-way-into-the-senior-industry-2729582">focus on seniors and aging in place</a>. “TruBlue did a great job of helping us understand that a ‘silver tsunami’ is coming,” he said. “I am a baby boomer myself, and I know that 65 is just getting in the game nowadays.”As both a senior and a real estate investor, he owns personal real estate in five states, Campbell deeply understands the needs of aging homeowners.“As a senior, we sometimes forget that we are not 21 anymore,” he said. “So many people know about the risk of falling, yet they still get on ladders.”He recalls a recent moment that reinforced that reality. “I went to change a lightbulb the other day, on a step ladder, but when I was coming down, I almost broke my neck,” he said. “We don’t age in our minds as much as we age in our bodies. It just isn’t worth it. Sometimes you can have a fall and get those types of injuries that you never recover from.”Through&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/trubluehomeserviceally/trublues-home-maintenance-plans-peace-of-mind-for-homeowners-2729337">quarterly maintenance plans</a> and&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/trubluehomeserviceally/trublue-medical-community-investment-home-safety-2730142">proactive home safety services</a>, Campbell sees TruBlue as a way to help seniors avoid those risks and remain safely in their homes.<h2>A Business That Creates Opportunity</h2>For Campbell, TruBlue’s mission extends even further. It connects directly to his nonprofit work and long-term community development vision. “I get to give back. I love seniors,” he said. “I not only get to give them an awesome place to live, but now with TruBlue, I can offer premium services to other seniors as well.”In that way, TruBlue becomes more than a franchise, it becomes infrastructure for opportunity. “I thought that I would buy this business for myself and use it for hope,” he said.Campbell’s ambitions do not stop at a single territory. “My goal is to expand with TruBlue into other states,” he said. “I believe that when I talk to them this time next year, we are going to outperform most franchisees. I’m an overachiever. I stuttered as a kid, but I still gave the graduation speech.”That drive, shaped by adversity, service and vision, fuels everything he builds. “We are a home service ally for people. One call does it all,” Campbell said. “This is my life and who I am, and I love it.”For more information on franchising with TruBlue, visit:&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/trubluehomeserviceally/info">https://1851franchise.com/trubluehomeserviceally/info</a>.

<a href="https://www.trubluefranchise.com/">TruBlue Home Service Ally</a>, a national franchise providing handyman services, preventative home maintenance and senior home modifications, has become a natural fit for husband-and-wife and family-owned teams. With a structured business model, low overhead and robust corporate support,&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/trubluehomeserviceally/info">TruBlue</a> allows couples to divide responsibilities, leverage complementary strengths and serve their communities with purpose.The stories of&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/cell-phone-store-owners-set-out-on-a-new-mission-to-help-seniors-with-trublue-home-service-ally-franchise-2727462">Connie and Kevin Mottle</a> in Highland Lakes, Texas, and&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/trubluehomeserviceally/why-this-air-force-veteran-family-is-investing-in-trublue-total-house-care-2722116">Janet and Jeff Sloan</a> in Greeley, Colorado, illustrate how TruBlue empowers families to succeed, both professionally and personally.<h2>Connie and Kevin Mottle: Building on Shared Values</h2>Connie and Kevin Mottle didn’t initially set out to open a business together, but over time, the idea began to take shape. After owning two businesses in the past, including a successful cell phone store they ran for 11 years, the couple was looking for something with purpose. Personal experiences caring for Connie’s aging parents made&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/trubluehomeserviceally/a-booming-industry-the-future-of-the-home-service-market-and-why-trublue-is-poised-to-lead-2730117">the need for reliable senior home services</a> impossible to ignore.“We were looking at doing a handyman or home maintenance type business,” Connie said. “A lot of this came down to what we dealt with as my parents were aging. We found TruBlue and it really aligned with what we wanted to do and what we were looking for. Rather than starting that business from scratch, we started looking into what franchising had to offer us.”For Kevin, who had previously built businesses independently,&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/trubluehomeserviceally/5-reasons-to-invest-in-a-trublue-franchise-in-2024-2725668">the franchise structure was appealing</a>. “I started my last two businesses from scratch, which took a lot of time and wasn’t necessarily my strength,” he said. “TruBlue already has the structure and national presence, which made it a perfect fit for us.”Connie agreed that the built-in support was critical. “Knowing that there’s a system in place gives us confidence in our ability to grow the business,” she said.One of&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/trubluehomeserviceally/why-trublue-is-a-great-franchise-for-power-couples-2727170">the biggest advantages TruBlue provides for couples</a> is clarity around roles. Rather than competing for responsibilities, franchisees are encouraged to lean into their individual strengths.“I do a lot of the marketing and things like that, so it’s really been beneficial in the ways that we work,” Connie said. “They offer all the support and are always willing to help and lend an ear and help us make changes. Kevin focuses more on operations and building the team.”Connie added that defining responsibilities has strengthened both their marriage and their business. “It’s been good owning something as a couple, we had to figure out our own strengths,” she said. “We are figuring out what the day, the month and even the year looks like. Luckily, we share the same ‘why.’ That is a great foundation to work off of.”Just as important, the Mottles understand the importance of boundaries. “We also know when to step away from the business day,” Connie said. “We are empty nesters, and we could spend all day in the office, but when it comes time to separate work and home, you need to.”<h2>Janet and Jeff Sloan: Mission-Driven Ownership</h2>For Jeff and Janet Sloan, TruBlue represented a continuation of a life dedicated to service. After 25 years in the military, Jeff was ready for a new chapter that still allowed him to serve others.“We have always had a heart for serving seniors,” Jeff said. “After quite a bit of research, we found TruBlue and were drawn to the business model, supporting seniors while taking care of their homes so they can age in place. Who doesn’t want to stay in their home as long as they can in safety, independence and dignity? That is really what drew us to TruBlue.”<a href="https://1851franchise.com/trubluehomeserviceally/why-trublue-is-a-great-franchise-opportunity-for-veterans-2727890">The franchise model itself particularly appealed to Jeff’s background</a>. “The whole structured process really aligns with the way the military operates,” he said. “We loved that franchise business model. The training, the support, the marketing, the technology, the leadership, it is all already in place.”Like the Mottles, the Sloans divided responsibilities based on strengths.“We’ve broken up the tasks a bit,” Jeff said. “I am more in charge of the operations side of things and she does more of the marketing. She gets out promoting in the community. We’ve broken it down based on what we like to do. She likes interacting with people, and I enjoy the nuts and bolts. With that delegation of responsibilities, it has worked out really great for us.”Janet says that communication is key when working with your spouse. “One of the things you have to remember when working from home, you sometimes just have to separate work-life,” she said. “You have to be able to communicate on that. That is a good daily reminder: ask your TruBlue partner what they are thinking about at the moment before jumping into something.”And while working with a spouse can be rewarding, the Sloans say the support behind the scenes matters just as much. “The thing that I really benefit from is having someone at TruBlue who I can speak with and ask questions. We have a team out there,” Janet said. “It might not be in the office, but they are a quick phone call or an email away. Having that support really helps quite a bit. You won’t have all the answers, so TruBlue gives you a network to brainstorm.”Jeff put it simply: “Two heads are better than one. There is a lot to get done. I can’t imagine having to do everything that she does.”<h2>A Reputation Built on Family Trust</h2>For both couples,&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/why-this-couple-left-corporate-america-to-build-a-community-focused-trublue-business-in-the-town-where-they-raised-their-sons-2730844">the family-owned nature</a> of their business isn’t just operational, it’s personal.“Our partnership brings a unique advantage to our customers,” Connie said. “We bring that trust and consistency and accountability. We actually live here in the community. This carries our name and reputation as well. Our personal investment shows in how we treat customers in every project.”Janet shares that same focus on integrity. “There is something to be said about being honest and making sure people in your community can really trust you and the service you are providing,” she said. “We intend to keep doing that.”For couples considering franchising together, Jeff offers straightforward advice:“Make sure you go into something you are passionate about,” he said. “We really have a heart for serving those seniors in the community. Make sure it is a mission that you are passionate about and you can enjoy working on together.”To find out more information on costs to buy this franchise, please visit&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/trubluehousecare/info">https://1851franchise.com/trubluehousecare/info</a>.

For&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/seancfitzgerald">Sean Fitzgerald</a>, President of&nbsp;<a href="https://www.trubluefranchise.com/">TruBlue Home Service Ally</a>, leadership has never been theoretical. It has been shaped by lived experience that revealed not only the gaps in how families prepare for aging, but also the opportunity to build something better through TruBlue Home Service Ally. He recently shared his perspective as a contributing author to&nbsp;<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Aging-Place-Conversations-Caregivers-Strategies/dp/1590942620">“Aging in Place Conversations - The Caregiver's Edition: Stories, Strategies, and Support for Aging in Your Community”</a>, a series created by members of the&nbsp;<a href="https://ageinplace.org/">National Aging in Place Council</a>.At the center of his mission is a philosophy Fitzgerald returns to often. “Here’s what I know for sure: aging in place is a process,” he wrote. “When done right, it’s safer, more affordable, and what seniors deserve, but it requires commitment, clear steps, and the willingness to think ahead.”That belief is a leadership framework rooted in foresight, discipline and a commitment to solving problems before they happen.<h2>A Leadership Philosophy Built on Experience</h2>Over more than two decades, Fitzgerald has worked across senior care, rehabilitation and home services, gaining a 360-degree view of what it truly takes to support aging populations.From his time at BrightStar Senior Care to his leadership role at FYZICAL Therapy &amp; Balance Centers, Fitzgerald saw firsthand how care extends beyond clinical settings. It is influenced by mobility, environment and, most critically, the home itself.Today, as President of&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/trubluehomeserviceally/info">TruBlue</a>, that insight shapes his leadership approach. “Our business model is great because the demand to age in place is only going to increase,” Fitzgerald said. “I don’t see that going away anytime soon.”Rather than building a business that reacts to needs, Fitzgerald has focused on one that anticipates them. That is a theme that runs through both his leadership style and TruBlue’s operational model.<h2>The Personal “Why” Behind the Mission</h2>Behind Fitzgerald’s leadership is a deeply personal story that transformed his professional focus into a lifelong mission.After navigating the realities of caring for his mother during her battle with cancer, Fitzgerald saw firsthand how difficult it is for families to adapt homes in real time. But it was another moment that ultimately defined his purpose.A fall suffered by his father-in-law changed everything. “In that single moment, everything changed,” Fitzgerald wrote, recalling how quickly a normal home became inadequate for care.Despite the family’s efforts, they were forced into a reactive position as they tried to modify a home that had never been designed for safety. That experience shaped one of Fitzgerald’s core leadership beliefs.“Most falls can be prevented,” he wrote. “Most homes can be adapted. Most crises can be avoided, if families have the information and support to plan ahead.”It’s a mindset that now drives both his leadership and&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/trubluehomeserviceally/empowering-entrepreneurs-with-minimal-experience-how-trublue-makes-it-possible-2729583">TruBlue’s mission</a>.<h2>From Insight to Framework: The Three Pillars of Aging in Place</h2>Fitzgerald’s ability to simplify complexity is one of his defining leadership traits. In his writing, he outlines three pillars that guide successful aging in place, a framework that also mirrors how he builds teams, systems and businesses.<h3>1. Start With the Home</h3>“The number one challenge to aging in place is the home environment,” Fitzgerald has said. “We fill that unique niche.”His book reinforces that idea, emphasizing that many risks are hidden in plain sight:“Most falls don’t happen because a senior is clumsy, they happen because the home is working against them.”<h3>2. Make Meaningful, Practical Changes</h3>Rather than large, disruptive renovations, Fitzgerald advocates for simple, high-impact solutions.“You don’t need a total remodel. You need the right plan, the right priorities, and a partner you trust to make it happen,” he wrote.<h3>3. Commit to Ongoing Maintenance</h3>If there’s one area where Fitzgerald sees families fall short, it’s consistency. “Even the safest house becomes dangerous if routine upkeep is ignored,” he wrote.That insight has shaped&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/trubluehomeserviceally/why-home-maintenance-plans-are-the-future-trublues-vision-for-effortless-living-2726310">TruBlue’s recurring service model</a>, which emphasizes ongoing maintenance over one-time fixes. “We can help you treat your home like you would your car,” Fitzgerald said. “Everybody gets their car in for maintenance routinely, and your home should be the same.”<h2>Leadership That Extends Beyond the Business</h2>Fitzgerald’s leadership philosophy is deeply tied to impact. At TruBlue, that means&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/trubluehomeserviceally/how-franchisees-can-capitalize-on-one-of-the-fastest-growing-home-trends-with-trublue-2731868">building a model that serves both customers and franchisees</a> meaningfully.“Our higher standards are already built in because of the senior market,” Fitzgerald said. “But that level of professionalism and peace of mind is something all homeowners appreciate, regardless of age.”That commitment to trust and consistency is not accidental. It is a direct reflection of Fitzgerald’s belief that businesses should be built around real problems and real people.<h2>A Growing Industry, Guided by Purpose</h2>The aging-in-place movement is no longer a future trend. It is a present-day reality driving demand across the home services sector.“It’s no longer theoretical. The wave is here,” Fitzgerald said. “We’re seeing it in real time, and it’s what’s driving our growth.”As assisted living costs continue to rise and more families seek alternatives,&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/trubluehomeserviceally/why-now-is-the-perfect-time-to-join-the-home-maintenance-industry-with-trublue-2728594">TruBlue’s role becomes increasingly critical</a>. “There aren’t going to be enough assisted living facilities,” Fitzgerald said. “That will only drive the cost up more. Everyone is looking to support aging at home.”<h2>The Core Lesson: Leadership Is About Anticipation</h2>At its core, Fitzgerald’s leadership philosophy comes down to one idea: anticipation. It’s a lesson reinforced both personally and professionally. “Safe aging in place does not happen by accident,” he wrote. “It happens because people who care take action before a crisis.”Whether guiding families, supporting franchisees or scaling a national brand, Fitzgerald’s approach is rooted in thinking ahead. And it is what continues to define both his leadership and&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/trubluehomeserviceally/trublue-home-service-ally-closes-out-2025-with-record-growth-and-accelerating-demand-for-aging-in-place-services-2731585">the future of TruBlue</a>.Order “Aging in Place Conversations - The Caregiver's Edition: Stories, Strategies, and Support for Aging in Your Community”&nbsp;<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Aging-Place-Conversations-Caregivers-Strategies/dp/1590942620">here</a>.&nbsp;For more information on franchising with TruBlue, visit:&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/trubluehomeserviceally/info">https://1851franchise.com/trubluehomeserviceally/info</a>.

<h3>The Big Shift: Healthcare Is Moving Into the Home</h3>“Aging in place” is defined as the ability to live safely and independently in your own home, regardless of age or ability. Aging in placeAnd here’s the reality driving everything:<ul><li>90%+ of seniors want to stay in their homes as they age&nbsp;</li><li>Falls are the leading cause of injury-related death in older adults&nbsp;</li><li>Over 25% of U.S. households are now led by someone 65+&nbsp;</li></ul>Healthcare providers know this creates a massive challenge: They can treat patients—but they can’t control the environment those patients return to. That’s the gap <a href="https://www.trubluefranchise.com/">TruBlue Home Service Ally franchise</a> fills.&nbsp;<h3>Why the Medical Community Embraces TruBlue Home Service Ally</h3><h4>1. It Solves the #1 Hidden Healthcare Risk: The Home</h4>Doctors, discharge planners, and therapists all face the same issue: Patients recover in unsafe homes.TruBlue addresses fall prevention directly through:<ul><li>Comprehensive senior home safety assessments</li><li>Fall prevention home modifications (grab bars, ramps, lighting, accessibility)</li><li>Ongoing maintenance to eliminate future risks</li></ul>These services are not cosmetic—they are clinical risk reduction tools.Home hazards like poor lighting, uneven surfaces, and a lack of home maintenance are directly tied to falls and hospital readmissions.TruBlue proactively removes those risks.<h4>2. It Extends the Continuum of Care</h4>Healthcare doesn’t end at discharge—but historically, support at home has been fragmented.TruBlue provides a structured, repeatable system:Assess → Modify → Maintain<ul><li>Assess: Identify risks through a home safety evaluation&nbsp;</li><li>Modify: Install safety and accessibility solutions</li><li>Maintain: Ongoing service plans to keep the home safe</li></ul>This creates something healthcare providers desperately need:Continuity of care beyond the clinical setting<h4>3. It Improves Health Outcomes</h4>The medical community increasingly recognizes that environment = health outcome. In fact, enabling seniors to stay safely at home is linked to:<ul><li>Better physical health</li><li>Improved mental well-being</li><li>Reduced hospitalizations</li></ul>As noted in national coverage, safe aging in place leads to better overall health outcomes when seniors remain comfortable in their homes.This is why providers—from occupational therapists to case managers—actively seek partners like TruBlue.<h4>4. It Aligns With Value-Based Care</h4>Healthcare is shifting toward value-based models, where providers are rewarded for:<ul><li>Preventing hospital readmissions</li><li>Reducing long-term costs</li><li>Improving patient outcomes</li></ul>&nbsp;TruBlue directly supports all three.Consider this:<ul><li>A single fall can lead to hospitalization, rehab, or long-term care</li><li>Simple home modifications can dramatically reduce that risk</li><li>Home modifications can cost tens of thousands less than nursing home care annually&nbsp;</li></ul>For insurers, providers, and health systems, this is a no-brainer.<h4>5. It Bridges Healthcare and Home Services</h4>One of TruBlue’s most powerful differentiators is that it bridges two traditionally disconnected worlds:<ul><li>Healthcare (clinical, reactive)</li><li>Home services (practical, preventative)</li></ul>Industry coverage highlights how TruBlue is “bridging the gap between health care and home services” to help seniors live safely and independently.That positioning is exactly why the medical community embraces it. &nbsp;It turns homes into safe extensions of care.&nbsp;<h3>Why This Business Opportunity Is Going to Be Huge</h3><h4>1.

Demand Is Already Surging</h4>Recent industry data shows:<ul><li>Record growth for TruBlue</li><li>Accelerating demand for aging-in-place services&nbsp;</li></ul>Why? Because every senior, every family, and every healthcare provider is asking the same question. “How do we keep people safe at home longer?”<h4>3. It’s a Massive, Underserved Market</h4>Most people think “senior services” = home care.But the real ecosystem includes:<ul><li>Home safety modifications</li><li>Preventative maintenance</li><li>Accessibility solutions</li><li>Post-discharge home preparation</li></ul>This is a multi-billion-dollar gap that TruBlue is uniquely positioned to fill.<h4>4. Recurring Revenue + Essential Service</h4>TruBlue isn’t just project-based.Its model includes:<ul><li>Subscription-style maintenance plans</li><li>Ongoing safety support</li><li>Long-term customer relationships</li></ul>That creates:<ul><li>Predictable revenue</li><li>High customer lifetime value</li><li>Strong referral pipelines (especially from healthcare partners)</li></ul>&nbsp;<h4>5.

Why the Medical Community Embraces TruBlue Home Service Ally - And Why This Opportunity Is Exploding.

As more Americans choose to remain in their homes as they age, “aging in place” has moved from a personal preference to one of the fastest-growing trends shaping the home services industry. For&nbsp;<a href="https://www.trubluefranchise.com/">TruBlue Home Service Ally</a>, that shift is the foundation of the brand’s growth, momentum and long-term opportunity.“We had our best year ever in 2025 and are off to a strong start in 2026,” said&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/seancfitzgerald">Sean Fitzgerald</a>, President of&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/trubluehomeserviceally/info">TruBlue</a>. “We’ve seen tremendous growth in not only new franchise owners but also in systemwide growth and revenue. Last year, we more than doubled our new franchise agreements signed, and saw a nearly 30% increase in systemwide revenue.”That growth, Fitzgerald says, is being driven by a convergence of demographic realities and unmet needs. As the population ages, more homeowners want to stay put and increasingly need practical, non-medical support to do so safely.<h2>The Aging-in-Place Wave Has Arrived</h2>For years, industry experts talked about the coming “wave” of aging in place. Fitzgerald says that wave is no longer theoretical.“It’s no longer theoretical, the wave is here,” he said. “We’re seeing it in real time, and it’s what’s driving our growth. That demand is only going to continue, and we’re well positioned to meet it.”<a href="https://1851franchise.com/trubluehomeserviceally/5-reasons-to-invest-in-a-trublue-franchise-in-2024-2725668">One reason TruBlue is so well-positioned is its focus on the home itself</a>. While much of the senior industry centers on medical care or daily living assistance, TruBlue addresses the physical environment, which is the single biggest barrier to aging safely at home.“As aging in place continues to grow in demand, there are not a lot of options in place for people who need simple and minor senior modifications like adding grab bars and handheld showers,” Fitzgerald said. “That’s right up our alley.”<h2>Filling a Critical Gap in Senior Services</h2>Fitzgerald points to a clear gap in the marketplace. Durable medical equipment providers tend to focus on large installations, while smaller, safety-driven projects are often overlooked.“They don’t want to mess with small projects because it isn’t worth it for them, and seniors are finding it hard to find trustworthy people to come in,” he said. “There is this void in the marketplace for services.”<a href="https://1851franchise.com/trubluehomeserviceally/why-this-serial-entrepreneur-decided-on-trublue-total-house-care-franchise-ownership-as-his-next-endeavor-2721907">TruBlue fills that void</a> by focusing on minor modifications, repairs and preventative maintenance, services that are increasingly age-driven rather than need-driven.“Historically, health insurance companies would cover things that were prescribed by a doctor,” Fitzgerald said. “Now more of these services are age-driven instead of need-driven. People are becoming eligible for minor senior modifications, and that is our sweet spot.”As a result,&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/trubluehomeserviceally/a-booming-industry-the-future-of-the-home-service-market-and-why-trublue-is-poised-to-lead-2730117">demand continues to rise</a>. “There are a lot of people aging in place who don’t have need-based services,” Fitzgerald said. “Our demand is only going to increase because we are happy to do these minor senior modifications.”<h2>Building Long-Term Relationships, Not Transactions</h2>Unlike one-off repair businesses, TruBlue is built around long-term relationships and recurring service. “Our goal is to build our customer base, it’s not transactional,” Fitzgerald said.That philosophy is reinforced through&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/trubluehomeserviceally/trublues-home-maintenance-plans-peace-of-mind-for-homeowners-2729337">TruBlue’s subscription-based Home Maintenance Plans</a>, which help homeowners stay ahead of small issues before they become safety risks or costly repairs. It’s a model that creates peace of mind for customers and stability for franchise owners.As TruBlue expands its footprint, new opportunities are opening up at a national level.“Because we’ve grown so rapidly and we have much more coverage than we did even a year ago, we are beginning to develop more strategic partners and programs,” Fitzgerald said. “We’re building relationships with large organizations and expanding that to help people age in place.”Many of these services are also becoming subsidized, further accelerating demand. The biggest constraint, Fitzgerald noted, isn’t demand. It’s coverage.<h2>Thought Leadership Rooted in Real Experience</h2>Fitzgerald’s leadership in the aging-in-place conversation extends beyond TruBlue’s day-to-day operations. He was recently a contributor to&nbsp;<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Aging-Place-Conversations-Caregivers-Strategies-ebook/dp/B0FVTN84T3">“Aging in Place Conversations — The Caregiver’s Edition,”</a> a collection of stories, strategies and insights focused on helping people age safely in their communities published by NAIPC (National Aging in Place Council).That perspective reflects TruBlue’s broader mission, which is to support independence, dignity and safety at home, while giving franchise owners a meaningful way to serve their communities.“Our owners have been doing a great job connecting to the community,” Fitzgerald said. “And as this demand continues to grow, we’re exactly where we need to be.”For more information on franchising with TruBlue, visit:&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/trubluehomeserviceally/info">https://1851franchise.com/trubluehomeserviceally/info</a>.
