TruBlue Home Service Ally

<a href="https://1851franchise.com/trubluehomeserviceally">TruBlue Home Service Ally</a>, the franchise that provides handyman, home maintenance and senior modification services for busy adults and seniors, is proud to announce its fall&nbsp; prevention campaign, in collaboration with&nbsp;<a href="https://closethegapinseniorcare.org/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=trublue-home-service-ally-joins-forces-with-close-the-gap-in-senior-care-to-prioritize-seniors-in-need-during-fall-prevention-month-2723602" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Close the Gap in Senior Care</a>, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. TruBlue Home Service Ally's Fall Prevention campaign is an initiative focused on safeguarding seniors and others at high risk for falls by addressing potential hazards within their living environments. As part of this initiative and in conjunction with Close the Gap in Senior Care, TruBlue franchisees across the country will install free grab bars in seniors' homes to enhance their safety and help prevent life-altering falls."Unfortunately, fall statistics for seniors are pretty alarming — one in four seniors falls every year, and it is almost always in their home," said&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/nathan-kear-755a73a?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=trublue-home-service-ally-joins-forces-with-close-the-gap-in-senior-care-to-prioritize-seniors-in-need-during-fall-prevention-month-2723602" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Nathan Kear</a> of TruBlue of Northwest San Antonio, who has been involved in this initiative since its inception. "Our overall mission is to put a dent in that statistic. Whatever we can do to help reduce that number is our goal.”<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/sandra-kirkwood-lpn-cdp-0169b378?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=trublue-home-service-ally-joins-forces-with-close-the-gap-in-senior-care-to-prioritize-seniors-in-need-during-fall-prevention-month-2723602" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Sandra Kirkwood</a> of TruBlue of Olmsted Falls &amp; Avon, echoes this sentiment. "It's not uncommon for seniors to be at home and do things they shouldn't because they don't have anyone to help,” she said. “If you break your hip, fall prevention becomes extremely crucial. We aim to be the cushion that prevents such catastrophic events from happening."As part of the ‘Grab the Bar’ initiative targeting fall prevention and senior bathroom safety, Close the Gap in Senior Care has allocated 100 free grab bar installations to TruBlue for September. “Since September is Fall Prevention Month, it felt like a natural pairing to partner with TruBlue since it would allow us to expand the reach of our mission to allow seniors to age safely in their own homes,” said Deborah Chaney of the nonprofit. Anyone can nominate a deserving senior in their community for this valuable service through the end of the month (or while supplies last) by visiting CloseTheGapInSeniorCare.org.&nbsp; All nominees will receive a free Senior Home Safety Assessment by a Certified Senior Home Safety Specialist — a $199 value. Seniors who are selected will have grab bars, installed in their homes by their local TruBlue franchise free of charge, helping to address other home modification needs."I was drawn to TruBlue's mission of helping seniors, and this campaign allows us to do just that,” said Kear. “To date, we've probably helped around 20 to 30 people in San Antonio alone. That may seem like a small number, but for each individual and family, it's life-changing. We encourage you to nominate seniors in your service area. This initiative is about more than just installing grab bars; it's about creating a lasting impact and offering peace of mind."TruBlue is dedicated to providing a complete range of home care services, from routine maintenance to full-scale renovations. The Fall Prevention campaign underscores the brand’s commitment to create safer, more accessible homes, particularly for seniors who wish to age in place."Being part of TruBlue allows us to touch a lot more clientele," said Kirkwood. "My mission and passion in life is to help as many people as I can stay in their home safe and sound. TruBlue allows us to do that. We have an opportunity every day to educate people, whether younger or older, about staying safe and maintaining the home they have worked hard for. It feels very fulfilling to be a part of TruBlue. At the end of the day, we have impacted many people’s lives in a very positive way."Overall, TruBlue understands the severe impact a fall can have on an individual and their family. It affects seniors not just physically but also mentally with their confidence and independence. ”Our campaign promotes awareness and provides practical solutions, from home modifications by installing grab bars, to education about common risk factors in the home,” said&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/seancfitzgerald/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=trublue-home-service-ally-joins-forces-with-close-the-gap-in-senior-care-to-prioritize-seniors-in-need-during-fall-prevention-month-2723602" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Sean Fitzgerald</a>, TruBlue’s President. “This campaign embodies our commitment to enrich the lives of those we serve, fostering a safe and secure living environment for every individual.”To learn more about how you can build a business based on helping others by franchising with TruBlue, please visit&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/trubluehomeserviceally">https://1851franchise.com/trubluehomeserviceally</a>About TruBlue Home Service Ally: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.

<a href="https://www.trubluefranchise.com/">TruBlue Home Service Ally</a>, the national franchise dedicated to helping busy adults and seniors age in place safely and comfortably, closed out 2025 as the strongest year in the brand’s history. Fueled by record franchise development, rising systemwide revenue, and increasing demand for aging-in-place solutions, the brand enters 2026 positioned for even greater expansion.“We had by far our best year ever,” 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 growth and revenue systemwide. We more than doubled our new franchise agreements signed in 2025, and we’ve seen over a 25% increase in systemwide revenue.”According to Fitzgerald, the momentum goes beyond the numbers. TruBlue is attracting a new caliber of franchise owners — professionals with strong leadership, sales and marketing backgrounds who recognize the long-term opportunity in the aging-in-place sector.“Overall growth is really overshadowing any other big developments,” Fitzgerald said. “A lot of new professionals are joining TruBlue with really impressive backgrounds. The level of business acumen of our new owners coming into the system has been very impressive.”As TruBlue’s footprint expands nationwide, the brand is unlocking new opportunities to serve seniors and their families through broader partnerships and programs aimed at supporting safe, independent living.“Because we’ve grown so rapidly and we have much more coverage than we did even a year ago, we’re beginning to develop more strategic partners and programs,” Fitzgerald said. “There’s nothing new about aging in place, but the demand for our services is becoming more and more pronounced.”That demand, Fitzgerald explained, is being driven by a critical gap in the marketplace, one TruBlue is uniquely positioned to fill.“There are not a lot of options for people who need simple and minor senior modifications like grab bars or handheld showers,” he said. “Durable medical equipment companies focus on large installations and don’t want to mess with small projects. Seniors are left struggling to find trustworthy people for these services, and that’s our sweet spot.”As insurance and subsidy models evolve, more age-driven services are becoming eligible for coverage, further accelerating demand.“Historically, health insurance only covered services prescribed by a doctor,” Fitzgerald said. “Now, more services are age-driven instead of need-driven, which is fueling demand. Our opportunities are going to increase because we’re happy to do these minor senior modifications. Our business model is to build long-term customer relationships and not just a transactional business.”Looking ahead, TruBlue’s leadership team sees its expanding coverage as the final piece needed to unlock even more national partnerships.“The only thing holding us back from developing more national partnerships in the past was coverage,” Fitzgerald said. “The demand is there, we just need good operators in more markets. It’s almost an ‘I told you so’ moment. The senior aging-in-place wave is here. It’s no longer coming — it’s evident, and it’s fueling our growth.”As TruBlue prepares for 2026, the brand continues to seek franchise partners who are natural community builders and storytellers.“We’re really looking for people with a sales and marketing mindset,” Fitzgerald said. “Our owners are creating awareness, connecting to the community and becoming the local authority on aging in place. We’re looking for people who can build teams, network and tell the story of why our services matter.”With record-setting growth behind it and powerful demographic trends ahead, TruBlue enters the new year confident in its position at the forefront of the aging-in-place movement.“Our owners have been doing a great job connecting with their communities,” Fitzgerald said. “This trend is only going to continue, and we are well-positioned for it.”To learn more about franchise opportunities with TruBlue Home Service Ally, visit: <a href="https://1851franchise.com/trubluehousecare/info">&nbsp;https://1851franchise.com/trubluehousecare/info</a>.

The home maintenance, repair, and senior modification franchise caps its strongest year ever, driven by rapid franchise expansion, systemwide revenue gains, and surging market demand.
