TruBlue Home Service Ally

<a href="https://trubluefranchise.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=why-this-senior-care-service-industry-expert-added-trublue-total-house-care-to-his-portfolio-2720583" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">TruBlue Total House Care</a>, the 80-plus unit home maintenance and handyman franchise, is seeing significant growth as the demand for aging in place among seniors booms following the COVID-19 pandemic.&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/trubluehousecare">TruBlue</a> believes that aging in place starts with a safe home, and the company offers ongoing in-home support to help seniors remain at home for as long as possible. With this, the brand fills a major gap in the senior care industry, which is why more and more senior care business owners recognize TruBlue as a valuable add-on to their existing senior care portfolio.&nbsp;TruBlue owner&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeff-pittman-a4ba2a1b1?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=why-this-senior-care-service-industry-expert-added-trublue-total-house-care-to-his-portfolio-2720583" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Jeff Pittman</a>, for example, came from an entrepreneurial background in the senior care industry. After graduating from culinary school, Pittman started working in assisted living and long-term care facilities, helping them with their dietary departments. He continued this path for 15 years before deciding it was time for something new.&nbsp;“I was in a lot of meetings with people from the senior care industry, and I started to notice there was a real shortage of transportation options to get residents to and from appointments,” said Pittman. “I decided to do something about it myself and started a non-emergency medical transport company that would move residents from facilities to appointments via wheelchair and ambulatory.”&nbsp;Pittman grew his senior care business, called Carolina Mobile Transport, to about 10 vehicles and contracted with multiple hospitals in the area to provide patient transportation. When COVID-19 hit, Pittman says his business dropped as the clientele weren’t regularly leaving the facility to attend in-person appointments anymore.&nbsp;“We went from about 50 to 60 transports a day to only four or five,” said Pittman. “That gave me time to think about moving in a different direction, but I still wanted to stay in the field of helping seniors.”While researching other senior care business opportunities, Pittman came across TruBlue. “It had everything I was looking for and seemed like the perfect fit because of my background in long-term senior care,” he said. “We heard a lot about the house maintenance seniors needed to be able to continue to age safely and comfortably at home. I was thinking about taking on that need by myself when I found TruBlue. Our community is having a huge building boom, especially for retirees, and TruBlue allows me to help them enjoy those homes for as long as possible.”Pittman officially opened his TruBlue business in July of 2021. And as someone who had experience starting a senior care business from scratch, he says he immediately recognized the benefits of investing in a franchise concept.&nbsp;“It was already set up with a proven business model,” Pittman said. “I’ve had the business for a little over a year, and I know that if I didn’t go the franchise route, I would still be trying to get myself off the ground. The support is there for you, and I was able to establish myself quickly in my community.”Now, Pittman says the past year has been great, and he is excited to continue growing alongside the TruBlue brand. “Every day, the TruBlue team is adding&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/trubluehousecare/trublue-total-house-care-announces-strategic-partnership-with-comfort-keepers-to-help-seniors-age-in-place-safely-2719713">vendors and partnerships</a> to help make those programs work, and we are seeing the result of it as we receive more calls,” he said. “Just in the past few weeks, I’ve had double the calls I would normally have.”Although Pittman has sold his transportation business to focus on growing TruBlue, he can still leverage his existing team and infrastructure in the Wilmington senior community. The ease at which existing senior care operators can add TruBlue to their portfolio and bring a much-needed service to their clientele is part of the reason why many established senior care business owners like Pittman are deciding to sign on with the franchise.&nbsp;Looking ahead, TruBlue is actively seeking new franchise owners in markets across the country and has identified Orlando, Miami, Jacksonville and Naples,&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/trubluehousecare/trublue-total-house-care-eyes-florida-as-top-market-for-large-scale-growth-2716150#featured">Florida</a>, as well as&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/trubluehousecare/trublue-total-house-care-eyes-dallas-for-expansion-2720240">Dallas</a>,&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/trubluehousecare/trublue-total-house-care-targets-houston-for-franchise-growth-2720239#stories">Houston</a> and Austin,&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/trubluehousecare/trublue-total-house-care-sets-its-sights-on-texas-for-growth-in-2022-2718609#featured">Texas</a>, as key development markets.The total investment estimate for a TruBlue Total House Care franchise ranges from $65,050–$91,400.

<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.
