Skilled Nurse Opens a TruBlue Franchise in Cleveland
One TruBlue owner decided to make a large career change. Sandee Kirkwood has owned a senior home care business located in North Olmsted for the better part of a decade. This registered nurse was looking for a change. She noticed that if seniors had just a little bit of extra help, they could have stayed at home, instead of moving into a care facility. "Everyone wants to be at home," Kirkwood said. Then she found TruBlue Total House Care. The franchise dedicated to helping seniors age in place. Our home safety assessments evaluate the house, and our technicians make the house as safe as any facility.
We're in the Greeley Tribune
Two of our new owners made a splash in their local tribunal. Jeff and Janet Sloan are a husband and wife team who just opened their doors this month. They shared what drew them to TruBlue in the first place. In 2016, Jeff retired from the military after 25 years of service in the Air Force, which brought his family to Greeley. The Sloans then opened up Christian Brothers Automotive at 6601 29th St. in Greeley but have since sold the company to a friend. After selling their auto care company, the couple was on the lookout for a new business venture, which is when they stumbled upon TruBlue Total House Care. TruBlue provides a variety of total house care and handyman maintenance services to communities across the nation. Services include seasonal work, deck building, bathroom and kitchen remodeling, and more.
Multilocation Comfort Keepers Owner Opens His First TruBlue!
Last year TruBlue became the Comfort Keepers preferred provider of handyman services and senior home modifications. This is a mutually beneficial partnership sharing one goal; to keep elderly adults out of assisted living facilities and keep them aging in their homes. Since the partnership launched there was one multi-location of Comfort Keepers who saw huge value in not only partnering with TruBlue, but owning a TruBlue himself. Vince Maffeo owns 10 Comfort Keepers in California and is adding his first TruBlue into the mix this year. “I knew it would be more beneficial to own a TruBlue location and more convenient for our clients,” said Maffeo. “Buying a TruBlue means that my Comfort Keepers locations won’t have to refer out the handyman and home services as we’ve done in the past. It’s now a one-stop shop. Comfort Keepers provides care for the individual, and TruBlue provides maintenance to the home.”
